WOJ: Korver to Jazz for Burks and 2 second rounders

Korver can't handle heavy minutes. He'll get 15 mpg and hit less than 2 three pointers a game. Just as his season stats suggest. A marginal move that won't make a difference. I hope they have more in store.

Can you guys already imagine Korver coming off a Rudy screen bombing away 3s?

Watch the highlights in the video someone posted. When he runs around that ball screen two guys are hugging the three point line. Rudy will have more space when he's on the court.

I just don't understand people on the board I guess. Look at how effing important JJ is to Philly... Korver can absolutely be that for us and makes peanuts compared to JJ.

With Ingles and Korver on the perimeter the jazz should play zone the rest of the season. A 3-2 zone with Rudy and Favors parked in the paint trying to stop all the wings who will get a running start.

I think you'll see Korver play along with defensive specialists like Royce, Thabo and Dante. One gives us offense and the others compensate on the defensive side. Korver at least tries on defense, and his minutes probably will be under 20 per night.

Remember, the Jazz were a pretty competent defensive team even with Boris Diaw. You can usually cover up for one defensively limited player. And the truth is, Burks didn't play hard on defense all the time either.

I think he could pull 20-25, it's not like he's been logging 40 minute games with a ton of mileage on his legs.

This mileage thing is a myth. He's 37 years old. That's what matters. Lebron is still as amazing as ever, despite having played 3 careers worth. And in a year or two, age will catch up with him, whether he played 5 minutes in his career or 5 million.

Korver will provide some spacing and hit shots here and there with his 15-20 minutes per game. Burks provided a scoring punch now and again. It's a toss up. Makes no difference whether we made this trade or not. Except we lost a bunch of assets. Albeit minor ones.
 
I really hope we play him and Ingles together a lot. It would be awesome to have two good shooters on the floor at the same time for a change.

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!

Jeff Hornacek, Paul Millsap, Mehmet Okur, Bryon Russell, Carlos Boozer, Shandon Anderson, Howard Eisley, Gordan Giricek, Raja Bell, Donyell Marshall, Mark Eaton, David Benoit, Tyrone Corbin, Mo Williams... all 2nd-rounders or below who were at least decent for us at some point; and that's just the ones that have played for the Jazz. There are tons of examples of guys who never played for us. You're not going to get an all-star out of the 2nd round, but you can definitely get solid rotation players.

Philadelphia has had a ton of late 1st and 2nd round picks in recent drafts. Bolden, Pasecniks, Kurucs, Korkmaz, etc. None of them get meaningful playing time. For every Millsap, there are 4 or 5 guys who don't really matter.
