Kyle Korver to the Cavs

[Kold]

Umm, interesting but I'm not sure what to totally make of this yet. Details of the deal haven't been released

 

[bksballer89]

I'm waiting patiently for these details before I laugh at Atlanta for making Cleveland better to get nothing in return

Wouldn't surprise me because it certainly looks like Atl. is in firesale mode with rumors of a Milsap trade

 

[Hambombs]

I'm waiting on the details as well. His defense is horrendous though

and that was what I was going to bring up next. Korver is a knockdown shooter, but he may be a liability on the other end if he has a significant role

 

[Maize N Blue]

The Cavaliers need a backup point guard (Jarrett Jack, Mario Chalmers, or Rajon Rondo) more than they need a shooting guard (Kyle Korver) don't they?

 

[Kold]

And there it is

Damn. So the Cavs are gonna get rid of a player that hasn't played a minute all season & get a damn good 3 point shooter in return? Cleveland just robbed Atlanta!

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Great addition for Cleveland.

And there it is

WTF

talk about a heist...

what the hell?

Dan G. going deep into his pockets...holy shit - thats gonna cost him another 25 mill if Mo is the only leaving.

Cavs are making a separate deal with Blazers. They will trade their 2017 1st to get their 2018 first back, sources said.

 

[Kold]

Sorry, It was Mike Dunleavy Jr., not Mo Williams

Starting in about 2008 the Cavs started trying to get both Channing Frye and Kyle Korver to play with LeBron. Better late than never I guess

As a Warriors fan I am not amused

 

[LogicMan]

Not a bad day for the Cavs. Looks like its chess and the next move is the Warriors

Nerlens Noel come on down!

 

[larryjohn]

Korver is bad defensive player. In playoffs, he'd be behind JR. So I think this is mainly a stopgap/hedge move. The Warriors would look to chew up any weak defensive players. (Korver could not guard any of the Ws' starters)

Yeah he can be grabbed on the cheap for the remainder of this year.

so i think this is how it worked

-Cavs didnt have a 2018 first round pick (the Blazers own it)- that means they could NOT trade their 2017 first round pick- they would of had it in this upcoming draft

so- what they did was take their 2017 first round pick- and give it to Portland for the Cavs own 2018 first round pick back- plus Mo Williams---- The Blazers get their first round pick a year early- and take Mo williams- the Cavs then get to trade their 2019 first round pick---- this they trade with Dunleavy to the Hawks for Korver. The 2019 first round pick is supposedly heavily protected in case disaster strikes like a plane crash or LeBron leaving again.

pretty crazy maneuvering by Griffin. They open up a roster spot by getting rid of Mo- trade Dunleavy for Korver- and instead of having first round picks in 2017, 2019- they now have first round picks in 2018------ and the 2019 first round pick is heavily protected in case disaster hits.

Very good pickup for the cavs. Korver's going to give them another option for shooting the basketball.
