Cleveland Cavaliers to acquire Kyle Korver in trade with Hawks
GM LeBron James gets his new Ray Allen |
Vertical Sources with @ShamsCharania: Atlanta is finalizing a deal to send guard Kyle Korver to the Cleveland Cavaliers.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojVerticalNBA) January 6, 2017
Cavs have already traded their 2018 first round pick, so my guess is a 2020 first round pick heading ATL's way for Korver.— Brian Robb (@CelticsHub) January 6, 2017
Cavs are making a separate deal with Blazers. They will trade their 2017 1st to get their 2018 first back, sources said.

Sources: Atlanta and Cleveland are finalizing terms on Korver deal, with Mike Dunleavy Jr., likely moving onto a third team through Atlanta.

Even without knowing the details yet, this is obviously a huge get and late Christmas gift for LeBron and the Cavs. I had the Warriors as favorites prior, but this should get the Cavs closer to head's up. So much for the Celtics getting Korver. Paul Millsap is likely the next to go.
