LeBron James: ‘We need a point guard’

Right now, the Cavaliers angle for three points in almost 40% of their field goal tries per game (second overall behind the Rockets) and hit at a 39% rate (bested only by the Spurs), a deadly combine that, needless to say, Korver should both benefit from and further enhance. We assess the trade and give it a grade. “That’s what makes this hard”.

Sacramento has already committed their 2017 first round selection (top 10 protected) to the Chicago Bulls as part of the Omri Casspi/J.J.

In Atlanta he became a fan favorite.

Six-foot Krover played in 32 games for Atlanta this season with averages of 9.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 27.9 minutes.

Cleveland knows that playing its best basketball is good enough to win a title without any gimmicks pointed at a specific opponent. You might have missed it.

Cleveland ranked seventh in three-point percentage a year ago at 36.2 percent, but that percentage in the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors dropped to 32.9. And are the Raptors somehow better equipped to wend their way to the Eastern Conference finals once again, but with a happier result? He was their “X-Factor”. However, he is still shooting above.400 from behind the arc this season and averaging about 10 points per game. He shot only 39.8 percent from three, his lowest mark since the 2008-09 season.

The Atlanta Hawks have been rumored to be on the verge of blowing everything up for the last couple of weeks.

Brooklyn Nets coach Kenny Atkinson, who was formerly an assistant in Atlanta, stressed that Korver isn’t merely a 3-point specialist and that the Cavs would be getting a great player.

The sides, according to one source, were “working through it” Sunday.

Dunleavy may not be sticking around. Paul Millsap is also reportedly on the block and likely to be moved, as the Hawks move further away from the good, but not great group they built around for years. If they can’t find a suitor, he’ll serve as a shooter off of the bench. If Chalmers is healthy, it would be easier to add him than to make a trade. They’re not winning anything significant this season. Yes, the 35-year-old Korver ranks 8th all-time in made 3s in the National Basketball Association – with a 43% average. Let’s get to tonight’s grades. Accumulating assets is paramount as this organization moves forward. With opposing defenses having to focus so much on LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, you can bet that Korver is going to get many such looks. Friday’s trade calls for the Cavs to send their first-round pick in June’s draft to the Blazers for a 2018 first-round pick, which Cleveland originally sent to Portland along with Anderson Varejao in exchange for a future second-round pick at the February trade deadline a year ago. “You put him on the floor with Channing (Frye), RJ (Richard Jefferson), LeBron and the floor will open wide, so now you got to pick your poison when you try to help off Kyrie and LeBron”.
