Korver's goodbye to Jazz fans

Will Korver be one of the few (if any) that won't be booed as a former player?
Korver and Matthews should receive a standing "O."
Everyone should say "Boom" when Kosta returns.

And I know the fans at the ESA will give a very warm welcome to Carlos when he returns.
 
That's a pretty classy move considering the Jazz really didn't want/need him back. I imagine a guy like Korver is really easy to deal with in the locker room and was liked all around. I love players with a sweet shot. It's almost a lost art these days. But Korver is a pretty flawed basketball player. It's good to know that the NBA isn't completely comprised of d-bags.

All of this offseason activity is making the Hayward pick look better and better....
 
Korver is a class act. More should be more like him, great guy and will be missed. Good luck to him in Chi town
 
Think about the rather small list of ways the Jazz could have ended up with a $13M TPE on a sign-and-trade for Boozer WITHOUT a sixth year on that contract. Have you made your list of ways? Okay, now make sure you realize that Boozer ABSOLUTELY had something to do with that. The best bloody goodbye present this organization could have received.
Boozer didn't get a 6th year. The TPE was a courtesy extended to KOC from Paxson. It cost Utah a 2nd-rounder, which I guess has to be included for a trade to be considered valid (pick, player or draft rights to a player). But listen to the interview. KOC makes it very clear Paxson didn't have to do it. And that KOC would return a favor down the road if a similar chance arose. It's a gentleman's game for the GM's. Boozer had absolutely NOTHING to do with getting us the TPE.
 
I will miss Korver. He was one of my favorite players. In fact it's going to be a lot easier to root for Chi now that he and Brewer are on that team.
 
Korver is obviously known as a shooter, but I liked his all around game just the same. It would always surprise me when he would come up with a block shot, and (besides defense) the rest of his game is surprising. He will be missed, good luck in Chicago Kyle.
 
I wish the best for Korver and Matthews, it is sad to see them go, but as for Boozer I just hope that you aren't "hurt sitting out" for the Jazz game in SLC.
