Why would ATL trade you Korver and Antic for Singler and a lotto protected 1st?? What is the benefit to them?
Singler's young and cheaper role player and they pick up a 1st round pick.
Korver is the best sniper in the league. Many say he is past his prime but every single season his numbers improve. He shot 47% from the 3 point line last season and set the record for most consecutive games with a 3 made (187 I believe?) Even if you took off the protections it still wouldn't get it done imo.
He's a absolute beast, but he really only does one thing well. Please don't think i am trying to undervalue him as i know how unique a player he is. The problem with this sort of player, is he's always more valuable to a team that what he's really worth when you look at what he doesn't do. He's also like 55 years old. I still think he could play at a high level in the league for another 2-3 years before injuries/age catch up.
