WOJ: Korver to Jazz for Burks and 2 second rounders

Still haven’t forgiven him for admitting he passed up 3 point shots to try to keep his 3pt percentage up. Not into a guy that admits his personal stats are more important than doing what is best for the team.

I want to choke every player that takes an inbound pass at the end of a quarter and doesn’t throw up a heave.

And it wasn't like it didn't matter if he took them or not. We were in position to be 4th in the west with just a couple very doable wins. Late in those games, with a close score, Korver is open for 3, he gets the ball, looks at the shot, he's open and then passes to someone else who now has a short clock to try to score. Those possessions cost us home court in the first round.

That's who Korver is to me. I cannot support him. I can't.

Did you guys see the interview with Windhorst? Basically he said that Korver has more value around the league, but Cleveland traded him to Utah because he met his wife here and wanted his family to be here. He wants to be back and we’re going to be a great fit for him.

They weren’t getting a first imo but that is great to hear and windy is obviously super connected.

Philly absolutely would have ponies up the seconds and an expiring for him... in my mind he picked us over Philly... how you like him now?

And that wasn't even the situation. He passed up good looks late in games when the score was close. And we needed those games to secure home court in the first round.

Do you know who always put up the heave no matter what? AB.

I like the trade but really love AB... I hope when he comes we cheer so loud that he cries. Imma start a go fund me so @fishonjazz can sit courtside that night.
 
I would have liked to have traded the two 2nd round picks OR Burks for Korver but oh, well. We desperately need three point shooting and Korver will make that happen. Now we can have some damn spacing on the floor thanks to someone other than Ingles.

AB will get standing O. Sick of the false notion that we boo all former players. We’ll stick it to Hayward. When’s the Cleveland game?
 
I really liked Burks and felt he was badly mistreated by Corbin and Quin. Quins short leash was inexplicable and undeserved when comparing the leash given to Mitchell/Oneal/Rubio/etc, Burks deserved better. Cleveland is a place where he can shine if it's there, if he doesn't I'll just have to admit I was wrong. Gone is our best player for creating around the basket. This move is awesome for Utah. Utah needed a shooter who can fire quickly with accuracy. They did not have that guy until this afternoon. Korver can literally change games for Utah who is one of the top two teams for creating open looks. At some point, I believe guys will start making those open looks. Korver will have quarters with 5 threes made. He is underrated defensively, but he is a geezer. Everyone wins with this trade.

But seriously, were you a fan back then? Do you remember those games? I do. I'll never forgive Korver. That was some shameful ****.

I was... don’t remember specific games or plays... pretty selfish... also pretty out of character for him. I’ve made mistakes and bad judgement calls too... fortunately people that were affected were merciful.
