WOJ: Korver to Jazz for Burks and 2 second rounders

More thoughts: since Hornacek, I’d always been dying to have a legit three point shooter, and even with Hornacek I’d wished there was more volume. It became frustrating when you saw the game evolve with Robinson and Duncan and then what felt like every three point shooter on the planet on the Spurs’ roster. Was always looking for great shooters. I remember being familiar with Korver in the draft and having four college years of 40+% on threes. Wasn’t the biggest Giricek fan but I thought we needed his shooting in our starting lineup. Many people here mentioned a GG/KK swap before it happened. When it happened, I was elated. I always hoped he’d start. Not sure why he never did. His lowest 3PA/36 of his career were his years here. He shot poorly (for him) his first two years here (38.8% and 38.6%). I always was just hoping he’d get the green light. Then we drafted Hayward and let him walk, in part because of Hayward. That made me hate the Hayward pick all that much more. Then watched as he became an all star in Atalanta. Now he’s back, but this time has the greenest of lights.

Let’s light this **** up.

It is the second most tired act on the site.

I guess now that AB goes to Cleveland and can be free, we’ll find out if he was right about him being a point god.

ETA: the first couple years he posted here, I literally thought PGAB was someone’s alt having fun. I mean, alts 101 is that you show up with a name that’s ridiculous and a reference to something the board would get, or you have some bizarre hyperbole about a player, such as PointGodAlexBurks.

“These days there’s such an emphasis on the three because it’s proven to be analytically correct,” Popovich Monday offered with what appeared to be a sneer. “Now you look at a stat sheet after a game and the first thing you look at is the threes. If you made threes and the other team didn’t, you win. You don’t even look at the rebounds or the turnovers or how much transition D was involved. You don’t even care. That’s how much an impact the three-point shot has and it’s evidenced by how everybody plays.”

Another reason why Pops is one of the greatest coaches ever. He knows his stuff.

Does anyone have any footage of Korver passing up threes? I don’t recall such thing?

Well, Korver said he did in an interview. So I think we can take his word for it. I'm too lazy to go grab the quote.
