Mike Dunleavy's balking at Hawks holds up Cavs' trade for Kyle Korver

PHOENIX -- Mike Dunleavy's unwillingness to play for the Atlanta Hawks is keeping Kyle Korver from formally joining the Cavs.

Dunleavy, traded by the Cavs to the Hawks Saturday along with Mo Williams, a 2019 first-round pick and some cash, is seeking a buyout from his contract. He has until 5 p.m. today to report to his new team -- and has no plans to do so.

The nuclear option here would be for the Hawks to void the trade, but they do not intend to do that and instead plan to complete the trade somehow, sources told cleveland.
