About 95% Official: Kyle Korver is Gone

[richgates]

Yeah Siler is letting the Jazz have it with his comments. I do think it would have been nice for the Jazz to contact Korver and let him know what is going on. He is a good guy and has done a lot of the community. That doesn't mean you sign him, but at least give the guy some common courtesy.

I shall miss him. unless we get Collins back, then all bets are off sir Korver.

Korver is going to sign with a contender where he will actually play. As long as Lebron goes anywhere other than Cleveland, I'd bet huge money whatever team that is signs him. He's going to be a very useful player on the right team for several more years.

San Antonio.

korver is underrated, even by jazz fans. that said, what i blogged the other day about matthews is true of korver, too: he's not a main cog for a championship team, he'd be playing a role. you can't pay your role players major money if you want to win a title. i really think KK could be had for around 3M starting.

right now, our wing rotation for opening night is miles (improved, but still a long way from being a sure thing), hayward (should help if we have opie look-alike contests), matthews (great at his role, but limited) and scrubs. i'm not counting AK because, with our roster as it is right now, AK is going to have to play more 4 than 3. in other words, we're one ankle sprain away from giving othyus jeffers major minutes. we can afford another wing at the price range i'm talking about.

# Correction: Due to some confusion between office and cell phones, Jazz finally did connect with Korver's camp today.

#There is interest in bringing back Korver, but Jazz obviously have some other roster issues they have to take care of first.

We could've done much better if we would've given Korver more shots.

False.

After drafting Hayward, the Jazz would be fools to re-sign Korver.

Why? Hayward hasn't played 1 NBA game yet. I'm all for Hayward, but to not re-sign a key piece of our team because we're putting all of our chips into a draft pick that hasn't played any minutes? Foolish.

They're both liabilities on defense with either of their roles on that end being relegated to guarding the lesser wing of the opposing team. Either sign both and play both less than 24 MPG, or don't sign one if the Jazz hope to maintain what defense they can execute right now. If Hayward was a good defender (he isn't, and he won't be), maybe things would be different. Having both guys on the Jazz kills the D.

Good. Riddance.

How dare you? How DARE you!?

For some reason I still think Korver will be with the jazz next season in spite of drafting Hayward. D-will seems to have some say in re-signing guys and he's really close to kk. though our focus will be on matthews first and who knows where that takes us with other teams already looking at him.
