In a shocking midseason swap, seemingly out of nowhere, the Cleveland Cavaliers landed one of best 3-point shooters in the league in former Atlanta Hawks forward Kyle Korver.
The Cavs are reported to receive the forward in a package containing Mo Williams, Mike Dunleavy, and a protected first-round draft pick.
After the Hawks beat the New Orleans Pelicans by a score of 99-94 on Thursday night, Korver spoke with the media about the trade and how much he is going to miss the city of Atlanta.

Korver boasts career averages of 10.0 points and 3.1 rebounds on 44.2 percent shooting from the field and 42.9 percent shooting from three. The swingman will be an excellent addition to an ailing roster, which recently lost starting shooting guard J.R. Smith.
