Golden State has done a great job refusing to let him get a feel for the flow of the game. Even his open shots look rushed compared his normal shot taking and he already had one of the quickest releases I've seen.
Definitely don't think the trade was a failure. Definitely would re-sign Korver and definitely think he can still help us beat Golden State for the next 2 years. Especially with a whole training camp and full season to play together and integrate him fully into the offense.
Like just because Korver hasn't had a shooting performance up to his standards in these 3 games doesn't mean I don't believe he could catch fire and be huge for us as soon as tomorrow night and definitely next year.
We can get better at using him, he can get better at fitting in.
I know for a fact that the 29th pick in 2019 or whatever is not going to be what prevents us from getting the piece we need to compete better with Golden State. If we can't add a player like that, it will not be because we came up short a late first rounder in 2019.
If it's really a big deal a team gets a first from us, and we are getting a player that could tip the scales back somewhat in our direction,then we can just give up 2021, which in my opinion is a way way way more valuable pick than the 2019 pick we sent that is protected.
