I'd still be on board with this for an effective two-way SG with a consistent 3-pt stroke. KK's spot in the starting lineup is safe for this year. No doubt.
But, if we can find a nice two-way SG to challenge Kyle moving forward, I'd be very okay with that.

I think most would agree that just because Korver worked out doesn't mean we should start breaking open the bank and start giving multiple long term deals to any 33 yo wing. Korver worked and that's great, but let's keep in mind that he's probably the exception who proves the rule.
Very much agree. I hope we remember this adage as we go into contract negotiations with Millsap in a few months. He's earned a nice raise. But let's not go overboard. With few young pieces to build around going forward, locking ourselves into a ton of aging players could be problematic in the next 3-5 years.
Also...AL's extension should be the single most important negotiation we engage in this summer.
