Farewell Kyle Korver

[brownsbuck6]

Korver is a regular season player going forward if still on a LeBron roster. He has proven time and again the biggest of stages isn’t for him. It’s unfortunate, I love this guy. But it is what it is.

Called his regular season production was fool's gold. Another guy with deluded fanfare. This one isn't on Lue alone.

I never thought Korver really fit the scheme. It was clearer this season and as the playoffs rolled on. LeBron has to run too much action for Korver to get good looks. When LeBron is playing basically 48 minutes a game, he doesn't have that extra energy to get Korver open.

Good bye

Call me crazy but I'd keep Korver. I love the work he's been doing with Cedi.

If someone offers a first or an intriguing young guy I’d take that but there’s no way I’d trade him for like a 2nd. His mentoring is much more important.

We should be able to get a late first for him. OKC is the first team that comes to mind. LA, MIL, DEN, IND, etc. There will definitely be teams interested.

Koby can fuck off if he does this.

Sell off players for assets

Hou, Dal, Por, Det, Minny as well......

Lethal shooters are always in high demand. Unfortunately, wing defense is at a premium, and it downgrades his value a bit. But he still has value to any team looking to make foreard steps next year.

Bayless is my boy. His HS raped my HS back in the day. It was sad times.

 

[Gimme Some Mo]

Bayless makes no sense for this team from a fit perspective. I would think we try to buy him out if a trade is made. If a deal happens, we just have to hope that a decent pick is included and isn't just a money savings move.

They could send their 1st rounder, but I think a 2nd rounder or two is more likely. They have a handful of likely early 2nd rounders available in the near future according to RealGM.

2019 Bulls
2019 Kings or Bucks (more favorable)
2020 Nets or Knicks (more favorable)
2020 Mavericks

I personally think its unlikely, but if we could snag 2 of those, that would be a pretty good haul for an aging Kyle Korver. If a deal happens, I'd predict we end up with just 1 of those 4 second rounders.

 

[WorldFreeB]

Bayless/Holmes and a second rounder,,,this is the rumor...not thrilled about it.

 

[Funkmastabuck]

This basically sounds like helping Kyle to end his career in Philly where it started. The Cavs aren't going to get much back in a deal like that.
