He is shooting 37% this year. 35.5% for his career but has had seasons of 38% and 40%.

They were really high on him once upon a time, but he has not developed to be better than his 3rd year or so. Utah fans do not like him. I haven't seen him play outside of Cavs games, and Utah's record is always inflated by their home games that are always the last step of west coast trips for teams.

I think sadly he is another guy that passes up 3s for 2s

Lame. There’s no potential in this.

This is a trade for three liquid assets. Burks is an expiring who can play guard for 15-20 minutes a game before he is traded. Sometimes a liquid asset is moved for a building block type, sometimes it gets flipped for later liquid assets.

Welcome to rebuilding.
 
Useful and flexible haul for Kyle: a interesting expiring and two seconds (unprotected, i suppose). Farewell Kyle, and thanks. Good luck!

PD. Trade grade: B

He is a guy we will try to pump up and teams like Philly, Lakers, Bucks, Rockets, etc might give up a 1st rounder for a player that can contribute this season and preserve or create more cap space with his contract.

So we sit Love out extra long, don't let JR around the team, won only 4 games 25% of the way through the season and trading a 38 year old Korver began the rebuild? lol

In fairness, if the Cavs wanted to tank, they wouldn't have sent J.R. home; they'd be giving him 40 minutes a night.
 
I'm meh on the trade in a vacuum. Seems like a deal waiting to be completed before the deadline.

I will say that it's interesting the Cavs wanted an expiring back for Korver - you'd think he'd have greater value than that; but, if they did want an expiring then perhaps they plan on signing a major free agent in the summer? :detective:

2 future seconds, potential to add more assets through Burks.
Worst case scenario his 11 mil is off the books next year.

Not a bad result for a 38 year old.

Not a bad haul. Burks is owed nothing next year whereas Korver would eat $3.4M if cut, so they get extra space and have a true ending deal to trade before the deadline.

See if they can inflate Burks numbers on this squad to inflate his value a bit ahead of February. Those seconds can be kept or thrown in for sweetener. I think seconds will add value due to two-way deals so teams can try to develop players as well.

Wish Korver the best out there.
