WOJ: Korver to Jazz for Burks and 2 second rounders

Ellipse said:
I remember a game where the other team stole the ball and ran a fast break. Korver was the only Jazz player that ran back on D -- he closed the gap on the dribbler and blocked the layup from behind.

I never understood why Sloan never had a player set a pick for Korver to set up his 3-point shot, but, like you said, Sloan didn't believe in the three.

I do remember Korver passing up open looks to protect his 3%, which pissed me off, but I still wanted him re-signed.

I don't understand why he was never in our starting lineup.
 
I don't know why anyone would complain about Korvers age. We probably weren't keeping Burks past this season. And the second rounders aren't a necessity. We've been selling them anyway. DL has been using those roster spots to go search overseas/gleague to find players. And it's worked because he's found Ingles, O'neale, Udoh, Niang. All of those guys have been contributors. So who cares if Korver is in his late 30's? It's not like we gave up our future for him. Korver has a skill we desperately need. It's a win.

Exactly. Also, it should be noted that he is still in great physical shape and has one of the fastest releases in the league, that can't be underestimated at all in our screen heavy offense.

“These days there’s such an emphasis on the three because it’s proven to be analytically correct,” Popovich Monday offered with what appeared to be a sneer. “Now you look at a stat sheet after a game and the first thing you look at is the threes. If you made threes and the other team didn’t, you win. You don’t even look at the rebounds or the turnovers or how much transition D was involved. You don’t even care. That’s how much an impact the three-point shot has and it’s evidenced by how everybody plays.”

Anyway, I echo the frustration that this won’t change the Jazz’s fortune as much as it could and should because the starting lineup is still ****ing non-sense.

Would love a legit shakeup to the starting lineup. Even having Mitchell run point and have Korver/Ingles/Gobert/Crowder as the other 4 on the floor to start as we move forward.

The game used to be better.

The game was better when it was more physical. Some of the fouls they call these days are laughable, literally for touching a player...

I don’t think Curry would have been nearly as good had he played in the late 80’s early 90’s

The game has been changed to provide too much of an advantage to the offense. Offense has always had the advantage. Now it is to the point it is absurd. Unfortunately many fans want to see high scoring shootouts and don't care about defense.

The endless parade to the free throw line makes it difficult to watch some games.

Teams would have no idea what to do with Curry in the 80’s and 90’s.

He’d hit ten threes a game.

These other posters on the page sound like an old man screaming at the neighbor kids to get of his lawn.

Steph ain't scrawny either. He'd be fine if you hand checked him.
