The Atlanta Hawks were finalizing a deal that would send forward Kyle Korver to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
News broke during the Hawks' 99-94 win over New Orleans that Atlanta would receive a 2019 protected first-round pick and Mike Dunleavy from Cleveland. (The deal is not yet, official.)
Korver himself said after the game that he had "mixed emotions" about the move. His Atlanta teammates were emotional describing their relationship with Korver.
Hawks fans had a few things to say, too. Some took to Twitter to unleash their disapproval and commiserate:
