Trade Analysis

Atlanta Hawks Perspective

Cleveland acquired an elite shooter who started in the 2017 Finals run. Dunleavy was waived and bought out, Mo Williams retired and never played. The draft structure produced two excellent second-rounders (Herb Jones, Vince Williams Jr.) but both were rerouted in later deals and never played for Atlanta, leaving the Hawks with minimal realized return.
