Farewell Kyle Korver

[westsidebob]

Jordy Mac and Dunleavy for Zoolander works and would make sense considering Korver is 35 and in the last year of his deal.

Any more than that and I'm not real happy.

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

He's not a bad young asset, could be a useful piece either to develop or move.

And young assets are in short supply on this team.

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...

Then what if he gets into foul trouble? It's a likely scenario if we put James on him, that it can happen. If that happens, you need an alternative. I don't like the risk of just relying strictly on LeBron.

They will attack him every chance they get, and GS will eventually get a few calls their way in at least one game, and James will be in foul trouble. At least one of the 7 games we play them, and that game could be the one that bites us.

I fuckin love the top post in the r/nba thread from a Hawks fan:

"I am dead inside.

edit: I'm seriously about to go drive off a cliff.

edit: there is no happiness.

edit: what the fuck do the Cavs even have that we want?

edit: I don't care if it's LeBron. It's not worth Korver in a Cavs jersey.

edit: 7:58pm. All emotion has left my body. I am a husk. I have nothing."

He is the only real asset this team has going forward other than the 2020 first round pick. He has been playing well and has value. Most want to see him turn into a long term asset at the deadline or actually get him on the team after the season.

Hopefully Cedi will net us a good player and get us off Mo and/or birdman's contracts in the process.

How did you get Gilbert's first draft of The Letter?!?!?

HMM

SO who was it that said Kyle Korver was the guy coming to the cavs

First time my sources were right

 

[stoike]

And young assets are in short supply on this team.

Oh, they have a few.

 

[Heisenberg]

Hearing Mo + heavily protected first

 

[Ryan915]

Mo + Protected 1st round pick is the deal

 

[malus]

Mo + Protected 1st round pick is the deal

Yesssss I'm feeling better about it. "Heavily protected" apparently.

edit- got caught by a fake account lol. my bad yall

[I'mWithDan]

Catch and shoot 3PT stats:

Total: 65/157 (41%)
Pull up: 13/37 (35%)
Contested: 17/53 (32%)
Uncontested: 48/104 (46%)

I'm sure the hope is that with Kyrie and LBJ, that he'll get plenty of uncontested looks.
