Default Kyle Korver traded to the Utah Jazz

ESPN - Jazz deal Giricek, first-round pick for 3-point specialist Korver - NBA

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers acquired disgruntled guard Gordan Giricek and a first-round draft pick from the Utah Jazz for guard Kyle Korver on Saturday.
A nice trade for both teams.

The 76ers get an expiring contract in Giricek and a first round pick.

The Ashton Kutcher look-alike is a nice complimentary player on a team with established stars that need role players i.e the Utah Jazz. The 76ers clearly need star-caliber talent as they don't have a player to build around.

And even if Andre Igudola is a franchise player (I don't think he is) the 76'ers are going to need more than him to become a playoff team again.

IMO this could shape out very well for the 76ers. Trade Andre Miller and get more cap space before the trade deadline and sign Elton Brand in free agency (no team has more cap space than the 76ers).

They can draft OJ Mayo with pick #1 and Roy Hibbert with the Jazz pick.
