The first Denver Nuggets trade of the New Year came to fruition early Wednesday morning, but it wasn’t the large move Nuggets fans expected.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of the Vertical, the Atlanta Hawks will send the Nuggets Mo Williams and cash in return for the draft rights to Cenk Akyol.
Sources: Denver will waive Williams, whose $2.2M gets Nuggets closer to salary cap floor. Denver sends Atlanta the rights to Cenk Akyol.

Before anyone gets too excited about the move, the Nuggets aren’t really doing anything with the deal.
