WOJ: Korver to Jazz for Burks and 2 second rounders

Lifetime Jazz fan here, and I'm still trying to imagine this front office doing something substantial.

Lifetime Jazz fan, so you've seen what this league does to small markets. And you've seen how the Jazz have handled themselves, and how successful they've been for the position that they are in.

So again, get some perspective and chill the **** out.
 
Nice trade that obviously fits a glaring need. Maybe they would've been able to use AB's expiring later on on a bigger trade... or maybe not. I certainly wouldn't count on it. Losing the second rounders may sting, but getting Korver in exchange for AB is a clear win for the Jazz, so nothing to complain about here.
 
There aren't a lot of guys that provide a ton of offensive value by just coming in and sitting in the damn corner. You can't leave him at all... turn your head and he can rotate to the top of the key and get a shot off faster than you can blink.
 
People have been whining that we need to do something, we need to make a trade. We finally make a trade that addresses quite possibly our biggest need at the moment, shooting, and people are now whining because we did it. I don't get it. AB never fit Quin's system and was gone after this year anyway. We weren't going to do anything with those second round picks anyway, we probably would have just ended up selling them.
 
So suddenly Burks has amazing trade value? We tried to trade for him for years but it was only possible now because he is expiring (and we had to attach 2nds). He is just a mediocre player with some good moments who had a terrible injury record. He wasn't a fit here and now I wish him well.
 
This is a great X's and O's move. Korver fits SO much better than Burks.

However, I understand why some are complaining. This deal barely moves the needle in terms of our relevance. Our starters and spacing are still issues as long as we go with Rubio and Favors. But I have faith that more moves are on the horizon. This was a smart move.

Another typical dumb move by the Jazz. Korver is past his prime and AB should have gotten us more. Mistake again. Congrats we are dumb all for gimmicky analytics.

Burks is an inconsistent back-up SG who needs the ball in his hands and who doesn't always play defense. Plus he's expiring. The Jazz did well to get anything for him. What did the Lakers get back for Jordan Clarkson? Clarkson + Larry Nance = a broken Isaiah Thomas.

Burks' minutes are going to go to Exum, O'Neale and Allen.
