Korver owed $15.4 million after this season. Giricek owed $0.0 million after this season. Both averaging 10 ppg and can do one thing: shoot. http://www.insidehoops.com/giricek-korver-trade-122907.shtml
That came out of nowhere. I kind of like it for both teams though. Korver wasnt doing anything in Philly and Utah desperately needs a shooter. EDIT: Utah also gave up a 1st rounder, good for Ski.
nothing big here. this is more Giricek's contract expiring then player value. WOW, good trade for the jazz tho. get a great shooter.
So Ed got a first round pick for KK, yet Rod was only able to get a relatively small amount of cash for him

It was only a matter of time til Giricek got moved, but I'm kind of surprised. I like the trade. Jazz get a shooter, Sixers get some more cap room to work with and another draft pick.
It very well could be a big deal...for Nets fans. It certainly was a good deal for the Sixers. 1. Stefanski has just gotten rid of $15.4 million over three years, permitting him more room to sign free agents, starting next year...and get some money for Igoudala. 2. Stefanski also gets a low first round pick. Sixers blew it with their four picks this year--one reason King was fired. He can use those in a sign and trade for a free agent or keep rebuilding through the draft. (Doesn't matter much for Utah...guess who has the Knicks pick in 2009?) As for Korver's Nets career, they sold him for the incredibly paltry price of $125,000. Stefanski told season ticket holders last year that the Nets dumped him because "we didnt have a roster space"...weak. Giricek is just as good as Korver, a little older but a lot cheaper.

Good point. Thaddeus Young may now get some minutes. Article doesn't say when the first rounder can be used or if there are any protections. But if it's this year, that means that only Seattle and Philly will have two first round picks. Enviable position in a top heavy draft where you want to trade up.

My guess is just lottery protection since the Jazz are currently sitting in the lottery

Learning on the job is an occupational hazard.
