Delaney was only getting 16 minutes per contest so far, and with this trade he will have to compete for time with Mo Williams, who comes over to Atlanta as part of the deal to send Kyle Korver to the Cavaliers.
Mo Williams has been averaging 8.2 PPG, 2.4 APG, 1.8 RPG, in about 18 minutes.
Delaney has been averaging 5.5 PPG, 2.9 APG, and 1.8 RPG in about 16 minutes.
What could benefit Delaney here is that Williams is on an expiring contract and is seven years older than Delaney so it could be that Atlanta looks to package Williams off as Atlanta are still looking for ways to trade Theo Sefolosha and Paul Milsap. Williams could be used as a chit in terms of sweetening a deal.
Will be interesting to see what develops out of Atlanta. Kind of shocking to see a Division Leader look to implode three of their top six scorers mid-season.
