NBA rumors: Cavs trade Kyle Korver to Jazz for Alec Burks, draft picks

Share

The Utah Jazz are failing to meet expectations and their offense is struggling, so they dipped into the trade market Wednesday to acquire Kyle Korver from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Here's what the Jazz gave up for Korver, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Jazz rank 26th in the NBA with 105.5 points scored per game. They also rank 29th in 3-point percentage. 

Korver is one of the best 3-point shooters in the league and has plenty of playoff experience. He's already spent two-plus seasons in Utah from 2007-08 through 2009-10.

Burks was the No. 12 overall pick in the 2011 draft, but he never quite lived up to expectations with the Jazz. He's averaging 8.4 points per game this season and is on an expiring contract.

Utah is 9-12 in 14th place in the Western Conference standings entering Wednesday, but it's still just 5.5 games behind first place.
