Source says #Hawks had interest in #Bulls F Kyle Korver but he's likely headed to Minnesota in trade

Soooooo who is gonna make 3 pointers on this roster?

I'm wondering what the Bulls are going to get out of it? Is Minnesota under the cap to just absorb Korver? If so I expect it to be something insignificant like a second round pick to save the Bulls money (Rein$dorf) or maybe something a little better like a TPE, if they can do that.

If it's player for player, Anthony Randolph or Wesley Johnson are the only two relevant names I can think of that could possibly be going.

I'm guessing TPE

I forgot about Wayne Ellington. He's probably a more logical guess if it's a player. Only makes 2 mil next year compared to Korver's 5. This move I think is going to be all about saving money rather than a "Basketball" decision Gar keeps lying to fans about.

Kevin Love.

What are we going to do with a trade exception?

I'd rather keep Korver, but I'd take Ellington and a second. I really, really want Gerald Green if we make that move though.

what about ridnour and use Kirk as the backup 2??

I'll take a second rounder over Ridnour.

We have Teague. He is the backup point.

yaaaa nevermind lol I thought Ridnour was better than he actually is....he's my backup PG in NBA 2k12 and can rain 3s like a boss lol.

lol, great post

He is unstoppable in 2k12. He is what Kevin Martin was in 2k10 and what James Harden was in 2k11.

He always screws me over in My Player mode.

Rubio gets me great looks for 3. Ridnour dribbles, dribble, try to drive, get trapped, kick to me when I'm not even near the 3point line and then pray I can hit it.

(My 3pt skill and close skill are really good. Midrange...not so much. But hey, when you can just rain 3s and score 10 straight games of 50+ (including 79), I'll take it.)

My unathletic 6'4 guard also blocked LeBron once. That was awesome.

So is this dead? I feel like that's what I've been reading.

I wonder if the Hawks are still interested.

I have to think the reason we were looking to do it is to S&T Hinrich and pick up another mini-MLE deal...I wonder who though? Redd?

Yeah I think they're talking with Atlanta now. The Korver deal was supposedly a 3 way involving the Blazers in the Batum sign/trade with Minnesota, but fell apart.. I'm still pissed that we are letting go of Korver. His importance to this team is drastically understated and the fact that he's really our only shooter makes the loss hurt even worse.
