Yeah maybe that was it. I just found the article about that. But I thought I read an even more in depth article about him. Anyways this is a cool piece about Korver:

Heard he was house hunting in Cleveland.
You need to lay off the pastrami.

I had the same thought.
This. The Jazz basically traded Burks plus cash for Korver. Those who are complaining vocally about the second round draft picks don't get it.

Pretty much sums up this trade.
I'm not a huge fan of this trade overall. Alec was a favorite of mine but I had already resigned myself to losing him in the summer. Now we not only lose 2 second round picks for a 38 year old, but we add 8M to our salary cap next year. What a waste. We better hope he returns to his mid-30s form at the very least.
The only 'redeeming' thing about this trade is that DL usually just sells those second rounders for cash so... not a huge loss in that regard.

The trade just seems logical to me, and I suppose there will always be doubters.
Conceptually this tends to the hole, or weakness in a part of our game that we are having, and even if it doesn’t work out too well, you can still see why the FO did the trade.
Even in clutch time, having Korver and ingles on each side will hopefully give Don the necessary space work with.
It is also known for Korver to help his teammates with their shooting, so maybe, just maybe, he can instil some knowhow into Ricky and Ex.
The only thing I wonder now is, who runs the second unit?
Also, good luck AB! Thanks for everything.

There is something to be said for impact that a player has. Its the sum of all their parts. You cant just say well he shoot 50% from 3. So he is good and makes a positive contribution to the team. There is a reason why Korver has been passed around from team to team. Explain to me why his 50% on 3's isnt making his teams great. Or why he sat on the bench of a awful roster that was the Cavs. Or why some other team hasnt already tried to get him. Dont give me this he was a sought after trade piece. Alec Burks and 2 2nd rounders was apparently the highest bid.
Dude is slow, isnt clutch, plays bad defense. Doesnt play with good flow of the offense. Doesnt make great decisions. Isnt a playmaker. One dimensional. Makes too much.
I don't care much for Alec Burks, but Burks is a better player. Id rather have those 2nd round picks. Id rather have Burk's expiring for another possible deal. Id rather have that extra cap space next year.
Those are a ton of reason why this deal wasnt good. We were better off standing pat. We were already going to turn it around. And when we do it wont be because of Korver who will most likely find himself on the bench quite a bit when Quin realizes what a liability he really is.

You don’t understand why a player with an elite specialist skill would be enticing to an NBA team, especially a skill as important as the 3pt shot,to complement the stars that you may already have?
