Kyle Korver has officially been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers

The proposed trade between the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers, in which the defending champs receive Kyle Korver for Mike Dunleavy Jr. and a 2019 first-round pick is now official.

Korver, who is shooting 40.9 percent from three this season is 8th all-time in career three-point field goals made and, not strictly confined to shooting from behind the arc, is one of the premier shooters in the league when coming off-screens and on catch-and-shoot attempts. Playing beside LeBron James and Kyrie Irving should give Korver plenty of opportunities to launch a shot from three with space.

He just has to be ready.

However, this move doesn’t just have implications that are exclusively on-the-court or off-of-it. There are plenty of situations to consider after this trade.
