Cavaliers to trade Richard Jefferson, Kay Felder to Hawks; move sets roster at 15

The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed in principle to send forward Richard Jefferson, guard Kay Felder, draft picks and cash to the Atlanta Hawks, league sources told ESPN.

Sources said the draft picks going to Atlanta are future second-rounders and that the Hawks will send back European draft rights in the deal.

Atlanta intends to waive Jefferson, who would be a free agent after clearing waivers, sources said. Felder is also likely to be waived, according to the sources.

The trade gets the Cavaliers' roster to 15 ahead of the start of the regular season.
