Mike Dunleavy was acquired by the Atlanta Hawks as part of the Kyle Korver trade which also netted them a top-ten protected 2019 first round draft pick (along with salary filler). The move seemed to have come out of nowhere and after a few days of trying to sort out the logic of the transaction it seemed to be the first move in what was likely a series of trades that would tear down this season’s current roster and bring back assets focused on the future of the organization. As we all know, none of the other trades materialized.
