Kyle Korver

Out of the rotation in Cleveland, it seems Kyle Korver will quickly be a target for contending NBA teams.

The organizational mess that the Cleveland Cavaliers are have many thinking the team will jump ship and begin tankapalooza soon, having started the season 0-6 and firing head coach Tyronn Lue.

For Korver, he should have an array of buyers when it comes time to deal the sniper. The Sixers should be at the forefront, but the Warriors, who can offer a protected first-round pick, might also make some noise.

The Warriors have three of the league’s most lethal three-point threats. However, after Durant, Thompson and Curry, the three-point threats aren’t there. Lining the court with another sniper like Korver could enhance Golden State’s play, with the bench and starting units.

Averaging just 6.0 points per game, Korver’s still maintaining his stellar shooting, making over 45% of his shots from deep. The volume scoring aspect of his game might’ve taken a downward spiral since he’s now 37, but his sharpshooting should always remain elite.

For that reason, the Dubs, who could always use more court spacing with Draymond’s three regressing, could use the valuable veteran sniper.
