WOJ: Korver to Jazz for Burks and 2 second rounders

Great trade for both sides.

* Cavs get something for Korver
* AB gets an oppurtunity on Cavs
* Utah get desperately needed shooting

* AB and Sexton could be a great pairing, wishing AB the best, will be a beta test for how Quins dogs look outside the kennel.

* Ingles and Korver... yes please. Im hoping Korver gets 12-15 3pa/gm.
 
Burks just didn't fit in with what Quin wanted to do. He holds the ball, makes bad passes, etc. And his D is not wonderful. He has a lot of talent but low BBIQ. So while his stats were marginally better than prior years, I didn't see him as a plus this year.

With the poor shooting, Korver should help the offense a bit. He was an underrated defender 8 years ago (his length helped him a bit), but he has slowed down a lot and will be more of a liability on the defensive end. It will be interesting to see how he fits in. I think the sets Quin runs will be very helpful for Korver.
 
Would have been great to see Donovan with the ball, Ingles and Korver in each corner, Gobert setting a pick, and Mirotic somewhere.

So instead of just letting Burks walk like they usually let FA do, they decided to get something back for him instead. Makes perfect sense to me actually. You are thinking about it all wrong.

They also gave up 2 second round picks for the honor of having 37 year old Korver for a few months. Not just AB.

Jerebko or Bjelinka .

Actually, Jonas in a corner, Korver in the other, Gobert setting the pick, Ingles with the ball, and Mitchell spaced at the top. That is some terrific spacing.

Maybe he thought Niang would not lose all shooting ability when he is in a game. Maybe he thought Ricky would (uncharacteristically) maintain some of that shooting momentum he had in the 2nd half of the season. Maybe he thought Exum or O'Neale would improve their shooting, even if just a tiny bit, instead of seemingly regressing. Maybe he thought our defense would get our offense going like it did last year rather than have the new rules destroy our defense and make our offense panic just trying to keep up with the opponents.

I could be way off. Just trying to come up with explanations for what has gone wrong.

Maybe, maybe, maybe ... but can you say that he was wrong? if we are fourteen west of someone will be the fault? if we had to take a 37 to solve problems maybe something wrong is there ..
Bjelica was available... Lindsey is too passive...

More than a few months. Almost two seasons (assuming he keeps playing and the Jazz keep him as next season is partially guaranteed). And we'll have his contract as an expiring trade piece next season or they can drop him giving the team a lot of flexibility over the next two years as they decide which direction to move in.
