According to a report by KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune the Atlanta Hawks are close to obtaining Kyle Korver from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for what is probably a sign-and-trade deal for Kirk Hinrich.

Guessing we're giving up on DEFENSE.

Decent trade

Meh.

**BlakeJesus** · 07-13-2012, 02:16 PM

Would be nicer if we were getting Dwight, Korver would fit that style well.

Korver is on the last year of his deal, by the way. Could be a one-year mentor for John Jenkins his first year. Similar players.

Jeff Teague...Devin Harris
Anthony Morrow...Lou Williams...John Jenkins
Kyle Korver...DeShawn Stevenson
Josh Smith...Jordan Williams
Al Horford...Zaza Pachulia...Johan Petro

Well, it's an interesting team. They're 8-deep. They're just not that good.

I think we're bad enough to win the lottery. My first reaction was that we'd still be talented enough to win the #8 seed, but this is a team that could unravel if they don't get off to a good start.

Johnson provided stability that isn't there now. Those guards aren't going to stop anyone.

This is what we wanted, right?

I think there's almost a 0% chance Kyle Korver is the opening day starter at SF unless the front office goal is to be a horrible team.

Maybe it's just me, but nabbing all of these shooters sort of feels like pre-Dwight stuff. Jenkins, Korver, Morrow, Lou Will...all of these guys are the type of guys you'd put around Dwight.

Korver is my dude, he's a championship level role player. As long as we don't expect him to start and play 30 minutes a game we'll be fine.

Korver at SF isnt going to work. Neither is Stevenson they are both just too small.

Too many SGs atm.

LD will definitely have to toy with a larger line-up. Smith-Horford-Zaza, but I've never been a fan of Josh as a small forward. Otherwise, start Morrow? That'd be ugly.
