WOJ: Korver to Jazz for Burks and 2 second rounders

Not many teams have 3 quality veterans like Crowder, Korver and Ingles who make less than $28 million combined. Two of them are 3 point specialists and the other is a SF/PF who shoots decently from 3. All three play decent to good defense. Combined, they make less than Hayward. Combined.

And all three are signed to these bargain contracts through next season.

Spacing changes every play run, regardless of who puts up the shot(s). That’s why it’s a matter of near-obsession for me, besides all of the data that supports it.
False, the data is trending that way because of the extreme copying or groupthink. The wildcat didn't last in the NFL because defensive coaches recognized it for what it is trickery. Who besides Korver do you really have to guard on the perimeter? I would say maybe Ingles but only after he gets into a rythem.

Not necessarily statistical models try to model number to show a patterns. Those patterns can help you make decisions. But, as the league shifts to follow these models the data shifts. Thus, the league is working on its own self fulfilling prophecy. There are too many variables for it to be just math. It is Frankensteined statistics.

I'm not saying the three point shooters don't add space. They just add space to the amount you choose to guard them. Now we have one amazing shooter. I doubt one player that only does one thing has enough gravity to open up the floor. The rest of our team still can't shoot.

Which is why Korver is a step in the right direction but we still need to upgrade Rubio.

He isn’t a stand still guy though. There is a difference between him and a guy like OP jr.

Multiple guys will have to locate Kyle because he can catch and shoot off of screens. It puts a huge pressure point on the defense. We really don’t have anyone that does that.

Watch Korver work over a screen on a dribble handoff and not where the opposing big is... watch a Gobert and anyone dribble handoff and see where the big is... if Korver can be passable on defense he’s a huge help.

Possibly but what we really need are play makers. Like Beal. Korver is old and one dimensional. The Warriors are the Warriors because they have a mix of shooters with shooting playmakers. Durant and Curry are playmaking shooters. Where as Thomas is just a shooter Korver style. That mix is impossible to stop. Where as we are having everyone shot just to take threes. No one is going to the glass because our long rebounds are helping start other teams fast breaks.

I hope your right and Quin uses him this way. Because right now our offense is a mess. We traded away our second best slasher on the team.

I'm not against Korver. I loved him when we had him here last time. I just didnt want to see Burks one of my favorite players on the team moved unless we got someone really good in return like Beal or Porter. Now maybe we had no chance. But, this move seems like a panicky win now move verses continuing to build around Mitchell and Gobert.
