NEW YORK: Kyle Korver is officially a Cleveland Cavalier.
After two days of trade speculation, the Cavs and Hawks both announced the completed deal Saturday, which sends Mo Williams, Mike Dunleavy and a 2019 first-round pick to the Hawks in exchange for Korver, the career 43-percent 3-point shooter who turns 36 in March.
The pick is top 10 protected in both 2019 and 2020, according to one league source. If it hasn’t transferred by then (highly unlikely), it becomes two second-round picks in 2021 and 2022.
Cavs coach Tyronn Lue called Korver one of the league’s three best shooters when coming off screens, ranking him alongside the Warriors’ Klay Thompson and Steph Curry.
