The Chicago Bulls have traded Kyle Korver to the Atlanta Hawks in a move that
saves the team money and ends Korver's two-year run with the team.
"It's a bit of a bummer for sure," Korver told ESPN 1000's "Chicago's
GameNight" on Friday. "I love Chicago. I loved putting on a Bulls uniform. &
What do you do? We learned this is a business and teams are going to make
business decisions. & I'm gonna go to Atlanta and try and go out there and
play well."
The teams needed the Minnesota Timberwolves to facilitate the deal, which
will save the Bulls $500,000 and net either a second-round draft pick and
player exception or a player with a small contract from the Wolves, the
Chicago Tribune reported.
The Bulls have a potentially expensive decision coming up. The Houston
Rockets reached a verbal agreement on a three-year, $25 million deal with
backup center Omer Asik. The Bulls have not said yet whether they plan to
match.
The Bulls also reportedly have a deal in place to bring guard Kirk Hinrich
back to Chicago on a two-year deal worth $6 million. Chicago had until Sunday
to pick up Korver's $5 million option or pay him a $500,000 buyout.
Korver's trade is the latest move in a considerable offseason roster overhaul
the Bulls are conducting. The team also cut ties with guards C.J. Watson and
Ronnie Brewer, who, along with Korver, were key members of one of the NBA's
deepest benches the past two seasons.
Even with those moves, Korver expressed confidence the Chicago could remain
among the NBA's elite.
"They still got a great core. You got some really good players on the team.
So now, maybe, they aren't going to be quite as deep as we were the past
couple years. & I thought signing (Hinrich) was a really good move for them.
He can fill in a lot of holes for them -- especially with Derrick being out
for a while. The Bulls are a really well-run team. They're gonna be fine."
During Korver's time with the Bulls, the team twice had the best record in
the Eastern Conference, entering the playoffs as a No. 1 seed. In spite of
that, Korver expressed disappointment the team was unable to win a title.

"I think we made a lot of ground as a team,"
Korver told ESPN 1000. "We've got great chemistry. I think the longer you can
keep any team together the better shot you have of actually winning that
golden trophy. & It's a tough thing. I think anytime you play as hard and put
as much into it as we all did the last two years and you come up short, it's
a tough thing to walk away from."
Signed as a free agent from the Utah Jazz, Korver averaged 8.1 points and
shot 43.5 percent from 3-point range last season in his two seasons in
Chicago.
The deal is pending a physical, which Korver said he will have over the
weekend.
The Chicago Tribune first reported the news on Friday.

被交易，科弗爾：肯定有點不爽，我愛芝加哥 timberwolves21

為了節省開支，芝加哥公牛隊將凱爾-科弗爾(Kyle Korver)交易到了亞特蘭大老鷹隊。
“這肯定有點不爽，”科弗爾在接受採訪時表示，“我愛芝加哥，我愛穿著公牛的球衣打
球。但你能做什麼呢？我們知道這就是生意，球隊需要做一些關於生意的決定。我會去亞
特蘭大，然後儘量打好我的比賽。”
早些時候，公牛隊還放棄了CJ-沃特森(C.J. Watson)和羅尼-布魯爾(Ronnie Brewer)，然
後簽下了柯克-辛裡奇(Kirk Hinrich)。談到公牛隊，科弗爾還是相信公牛隊會繼續進入
NBA豪強行列。
“他們依舊有很好的核心陣容，他們還有很多出色的球員在隊中。現在的話，他們可能沒
有像過去幾年那樣深厚的陣容。我想簽下辛裡奇對他們來說是很好的運作，他可以為他們
填補很多空缺，特別是當德里克(羅斯)還要缺陣一些日子的時候。公牛隊是一支非常好的
球隊，他們會很好的。”
科弗爾同時也坦言，球隊在過去兩個賽季都打得非常出色，但是最後卻只能早早回家的事
實真的讓人很難接受。
過去兩個賽季，科弗爾場均可以為公牛隊貢獻8.1分，三分球命中率則高達43.5%。
