Mike Dunleavy changes course and will join Atlanta Hawks, per report

The Mike Dunleavy saga appears to be over... for now. The former Cleveland Cavaliers forward, acquired by the Atlanta Hawks as part of the Kyle Korver trade, was reportedly seeking a buyout from his new team. As of Monday afternoon, though, Dunleavy appears to be changing course.

Sources: After talking with Mike Budenholzer about role with Atlanta, Mike Dunleavy has made peace with joining Hawks. He'll report Tuesday.

The big conversion on Dunleavy’s behalf was apparently as a result of some persuasion from Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer.
