Farewell Kyle Korver

[godfather]

LeBron is going to have to be that guy.

No, he's not. Again, guys, LeBron cannot guard Durant the entire game. You're risking our best player getting into foul trouble. Durant draws a lot of fouls. You need someone else to guard Durant.

LB can guard him to close out quarters, but not the entire game.

The on stat no one is mentioning is that he is playing with Lebron and will instantly make him better.

I got to hear the rest of the details, but I'm split on this to be honest. Before people hit the disagree button a million times, and I get this is an exciting pickup.

One, we still need someone to guard Kevin Durant and Korver is not that guy. So if we wasted the remaining of our best trading assets to get Korver, I'm going to be pretty disappointed.

Now, obviously, I think he's an upgrade to what we currently have and a great replacement to JR being out. If they got him for peanuts, I have no problem, but we still need a defensive wing.

I cannot imagine that the Cavs sent out anything of merit.. We likely facilitated another deal for Milsap and maybe threw in some randomness.. Shump was our only trade piece to upgrade at the wing, and we damn sure didn't trade him for Kyle Korver.

Trade deadline is a month away, we have some time.. Just imagine if we did end up with Rudy Gay and Kyle Korver for Shump+trash?

Fuckin hell..

Shump or TT.

If we didn't give them Cedi, which would be an oversell IMO, then this was a great trade.

I imagine we gave them a future late first round pick. I hope. I think Cedi is our best trade asset. And say we get a Rudy, we're going to need that plus Shump for example to make something like that work.

I doubt there's someone available that we can realistically get that can guard Durant. We'll have to try Shump or Liggins when it's not LeBron.

Backup PG seems like the biggest need now.

Bruh did anyone know this was a possibility????????????

I believe the trade thread I referenced Korver due to how their season was going. Pure speculation of course.

 

[inliner311]

Is the best case scenario Dunleavy and McRae? Dunleavy sitting out the last couple games while McRae had two 20+ point games in 3 games. McRae contract also becames guaranteed in a couple days.

Those guys can't guard Durant. Durant is 6-9. He freaking ate up Shump when we played GS. Did you not see that?

Guys like Thabo and Tucker that are available aren't going to cost the bank to obtain. These are bigger guys that can match up with him.

You just know he's gonna hit a crunch time poisoned dagger against Toronto or Golden State that makes the Q go bonkers... I have chills thinking about it.

James will have no choice bro... honestly.

Honestly, I'm hoping and praying that if we can trade Shump+Cedi+whatever for Rudy (assuming he has zero takers) that'd mean Gay can play Green and we're good.

LeBron will hit another gear as he always does in the Finals...

Yeah I mean I'm happy to have Korver but SG wasn't really what I was looking to upgrade. I hope we still have some ammunition to try and get Tucker or something.

Can someone fill me in on why we should hope Cedi Osman wasn't included?
