WOJ: Korver to Jazz for Burks and 2 second rounders

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

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).
 
Korver fits. Burks didn't. We save $4 million this year. They save $3.4 million next year. We lose 2 2nd rounders. They gain 2 2nd rounders.

This trade isn't that hard to comprehend. This shows that Burks had almost zero trade value. Best of luck to him though.

Good point. Jae takes the most catch-and-shoot 3s on this team and hits.... 25%....
