Per Woj - Korver traded to Cavs

It's on rotoworld.

Rich get richer

Rich get richer

I guess they know if they lose home court while Jr is out that it makes them more susceptible to losing in PLAYOFFS.. their hand was forced

[Roy H.]

Good fit there.

[crownontherocks]

Millsap rumors will heat up now

[MJohnnyboy]

The gap just widened.

Lebron essentially just got the equivalent of Ray Allen Miami version on the Cavs.

Would like to know the details because we could have really used a sharpshooter like him

[jpotter33]

Uggghhhh, lets make them even more difficult to guard.

Not sure that this means they're going to blow things up, though, because they have Robinson off the bench that is itching for more minutes.

[clevelandceltic]

Just another reason to plan on competing with them in two years.

[tankcity!]

It screams firesale to me. Why would you trade your opponent a weapon they can use?

Does this really move the needle at all? Korver is going to be 36 by the playoffs, he can't guard a chair and while he is still able to shoot at 40% from 3 this season and last season, he is down quite a bit from his other wordly shooting from a few seasons ago when he was at like 47% for 3. I also think he has slowed down enough that it is a little harder for him to get his shot up.

[MJohnnyboy]

Awkward: He's in uniform at this moment against the Pelicans.

[clevelandceltic]

Who on the Cs guards him with its LeBron, Kyrie, Love, TT, and Korver on the floor

Uggghhhh, lets make them even more difficult to guard.

I mean, no it doesn't move the needle much, if at all. But it is just another deadly weapon off their bench that Lebron and Kyrie can pass out to off the penetration.

That's pretty impactful.   With LeBron and Kyrie able to create at will, having an insanely good shooter makes things easier for them.   On a decent offense he was able to shoot over 50% from three.  His efficiency will go up playing with those two guys.  Very interesting.  Hopefully it's enough for them to knock off the GOlden State Globetrotters.
