Is Kyle Korver to Utah the deal of the season?

   Posted by: admin   in Kingman Communities

Everyone is talking about Pau Gasol to LA and Shaq to AZ. How about Kyle Korver? The Jazz were slumping just before he joined them from Philly and have gone 16-2 since his arrival. Against his former teammate A.I. and the division rivals Denver he had a good game and helped Utah stay on top with a win. Last season, Utah struggled against the Spurs with Okur and Kirilenko repeatedly missing open threes when Williams/Boozer kicked the ball out of the post. Kyle's deadly three point shooting should spread the floor for Utah making Boozer even more effective inside. Will this be the trade everyone is talking about at the end of the season??

It sure looks like it. Korver has always been a great shooter but he could really be the third piece that Utah needs to win the championship. I still think though that New Orleans is the most talented team with CP3, David West and Tyson Chandler by Utah now has the third piece that they have been missing. Okur has been off and on and Kirilenko has just disappeared.

it will be talked. but not liked this "Shaq" thing. nor Pau Gasol's being a laker. But hey! production wise, it was a 'great' trade for the Jazz. He is so productive and efficient in his role – not to mention his deadly 3 point shooting. It is great for the Jazz organization but it wont be the 'greatest' nor the blockbuster type coz Gasol's acquisition is probably the 'best' this ongoing season and KG's arrival in Boston is the best overall this season production, efficiency, hyped-wise.

If they can get as deep as they did in the playoffs last year and Korver makes a big enough impact, it could be one of the biggest deals this season, but not the biggest. In my mind it still has to be the Pau Gasol trade for several reasons:

The Lakers have been bit by the unjury bug ever since Andrew Bynum went down with people like Vladmir Radmanovic, Luke Walton, Chris Mihm, and now Kobe Bryant injured. LA needed a big man inside who's an offensive threat and can get quality rebounds for them. Pau Gasol was the perfect answer for this. And when you think about what LA gave up for him, the all time bust Kwame Brown, a rookie gaurd in Javaris Crittenon, and future draft picks, that's an absolute steal since they didn't give up a signle key player on their team.

Now you look at the full lineup and depth of the Lakers when they are healthy and playoff time comes: Derek Fisher (Jordan Famer) Kobe Bryant ( Sasha Vujiac) Lamar Odom (Luke Walton and Trevor Ariza) Pau Gasol (Ronny Turiaf) and Andrew Bynum, that's scary, especially the colossal front court of Bynum, Gasol, and Odom.

No, the biggest trade this season was Boston recieving Garnett and Allen. And it will likely be the most talked about trade at the end of the season due to the upcoming playoff expectations.
