He really is the perfect fit. The shocker is how little they gave up for him. Now they'll probably go after a backup point guard. |
Was it so little? They are getting a protected 1st. Obviously smart move for the Cavs, but Korver is a soon to 36 year old. And soon to be a free agent. Hawks getting a 1st rounder for him when this could be his last few months with the team isn't too bad. |

It is probably the best deal they could do for him.
That said, the Cavs are giving up a late round pick who, based on the typical player at that spot, won't amount to anything.
But you have a good point. |

It depends on the protection on the pick, it could be a nice deal or it could be virtually nothing.

| Sucks for Mike Dunleavy. He probably signed with the Cavs in order to ring-chase. But now, he was traded for a similar but better player in Korver. |

Dunleavy didn't sign with the Cavs; the Bulls traded him to the Cavs for a second round pick to make cap space to sign Wade. |
