WOJ: Korver to Jazz for Burks and 2 second rounders

[Avery]

We needed a shooter and we got one. Burks just doesn’t fit the system.

He will help us win... he can play in the playoffs. Space is critical and will open stuff up. He will have games where he is extremely impactful and only scores 5-10 points.

You can't give him an inch... on screens two dudes have to watch him. This is not rocket surgery.

He’s not getting us into the playoffs

Only 3.4 mil guaranteed next year if he gets waived before July 7th, 2019.

Jazz are making the playoffs dude.

And are you implying Burks was?

Its like we addressed a glaring weakness... yet people freaking out.

Yes, we needed to give up future draft picks to get older, less athletic and worse defensively. Go Jazz.

Love you HH, I can't agree with you on this move.

Let it breathe

Very true. I need to stay positive.

I can't believe Lindsey would give up on his big FA signing so quickly.

 

[JazzyFresh]

What?

Korver helps Exum. I didn't say Exum helps Korver.

I don't see it. Exum will still be the same Exum who can't hit a layup or any shot for that matter. How does Korver fix that?

Can you tell me what recent 2nd rounders have turned into for the Jazz? They're throw ins.

I bet the defense is better, who cares how old Korver is if he's still a deadeye (seriously I don't get this?) and the gravity itself opens up a lot more for everybody else.

Hahahaha. I see what you did there.

I agree with you that I really, really don't like giving up 2 2nd-rounders here. The Jazz moving assets like they're in win-now mode. If Jazz suddenly go 45-16 over the remainder of the season I guess we won't be complaining so much, but I really don't see that happening.

I would’ve rather traded for someone who could’ve.

Korver is definitely the best they could do right now for what they gave up.

 

[LoPo]

We had 3 extra 2nd rounders between now and 2024. Since we don't use them that much, this deal was worth it. And we don't know, maybe those 2nd rounders are "protected".

I'm blown away by these valuations of second-rounders. Jazz don't use them and if they do they don't even make the roster!

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Korver helps because a) there will be more space for people to drive in the paint, and b) we won't need Jae and Thabo to take so many 3s. Actually, I think the Jazz are a bit pissed that Royce O'Neale won't take open 3s.

We desperately needed someone to spread the floor when Ingles is on the bench. That's what this move was about. The question is whether 2 2nd-rounders was worth it (Burks was a UFA and below-average NBA player who wasn't coming back, so he's the smallest part of the deal to me).

Watching your dumbass meltdown over this zero risk trade makes it worth it already.
