He now writes about sports instead as a form of therapy.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Miami Heat may be the most <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-jimmy-butler-upgraded-injury-report-76ers" rel="noopener">injury-ravaged team</a> in the NBA outside of Memphis; during their Monday night contest against the Philadelphia 76ers, they were without Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, Kevin Love, Nikola Jovic, and Josh Richardson, and to make matters worse, Duncan Robinson exited the game early due to back discomfort. All of these woes have pressed veteran guard Patty Mills into action, with the Heat giving him 22 minutes off the bench in a 98-91 loss.</p><p>Mills is no longer in his heyday; if he were, he would have been a much more crucial piece of the Heat roster since his arrival. Nonetheless, Mills drilled one of his six three-point attempts against the 76ers, and in doing so, he has tied Lou Williams for <a href="https://twitter.com/IraHeatBeat/status/1769901471040958553" rel="noopener">third all-time</a> in career three-pointers made with 1,235, according to Ira Winderman of South Florida Sun Sentinel.</p><p>Patty Mills is now ever closer to the all-time record held by Kyle Korver, although it will be a while before the Heat guard threatens to surpass Korver’s tally. Korver made 1,385 deep shots in 809 games off the bench, coming mostly from when he was a member of the Utah Jazz, and Mills will need to make 151 more triples to be the all-time bench <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kyle-korver-traded-copy-machine" rel="noopener">sharpshooting king</a>.</p><p>If Mills notched this feat in an earlier juncture of his career, then it would have been a near-guarantee that he would surpass Korver. But at this point, the Heat guard might have to settle for second-place (he needs just 25 threes to surpass second-place Jamal Crawford). After all, Mills is already 35 years old, and he hasn’t exactly played in too many minutes this season. The Heat’s injury woes may change that, however.</p><p>The severity of Duncan Robinson’s injury is unclear, so the Heat might be in need of Patty Mills’ floor-spacing skillset over the next few weeks. Mills might be in a steep decline, but he’s still a career 38.8 percent shooter from beyond the arc, and outside marksmanship is a skill that tends to age well. Kyle Korver scorched the nets until he was 38 years old, so perhaps Mills has a few more years of productive basketball in his locker.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In 2003, though, no one could have predicted Korver would be mentioned in the same sentence with all-time great shooters.</p><p>The New Jersey Nets selected Korver with the 51st overall pick in the 2003 draft. But there was a problem: they didn’t have any room for him.</p><p>The Nets had just made the Finals that year and had a win-now roster – one that featured Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson, and Kenyon Martin. The team didn’t need a rookie eating up a roster spot – especially one who wasn’t likely to get any playing time.</p><p>To compound their problems, the Nets <a href="https://nba.nbcsports.com/2014/07/31/kyle-korver-once-traded-for-summer-league-expenses-and-a-copier/" rel="noopener">were also low on cash</a>, per NBC Sports. In fact, they were in need of some money to pay for their team’s Summer League entry that offseason.</p><p>The solution?</p><p>On draft night, the Nets promptly sold the rights to Kyle Korver to the Philadelphia 76ers. All the Nets took in exchange was $125,000. That was more than enough money to pay for their Summer League entry.</p><p>With their leftover money, the Nets bought a brand new copy machine. Supposedly it could fax too, and back in 2003 having an all-in-one printer, copier, and fax machine was a big deal.</p><p>Fast-forward 17 years, and Kyle Korver turned into an All-Star and one of the most lethal 3-point shooters the league has ever seen.</p><p>The Nets’ copy machine, though, broke down – a revelation revealed to the public by Korver himself. In a speech at Creighton University (his alma mater) in 2019, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jazz-news-kyle-korver-tells-story-creighton-commencement-speech-about-being-traded-for-copy-machine" rel="noopener">Korver didn’t forget</a> what went down all those years ago:</p><p>“What’s your trade value? Mine was a copy machine. But that’s okay. A couple of years ago, that copy machine broke. And I’m still playing.”</p><p>Based on Korver’s comments, the industrial copier broke down around 2017. Since the Nets acquired it in 2003, it meant they got 14 good years out of it. The Nets’ front office likely had a lot of meeting notes printed out and faxes sent over the years. Still, most teams would probably prefer Kyle Korver’s 17-year NBA career over one year of Summer League and some faxes.</p><p>While it was impossible to predict Korver’s success at the time in 2003, trading an all-time great three-point shooter for a copy machine will go down as one of the strangest trades in NBA history.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It has now been revealed that the former All-Star has just been named as the team’s Director of Player Affairs &amp; Development.</p><p>Korver returns to Atlanta after spending five years of his playing career with the team. It was a memorable stint for the 6-foot-7 swingman, and it could be argued that Korver had the best stretch of his career during this time with the Hawks.</p><p>This time around, Atalanta has employed him to be an integral part of their front office.</p><blockquote>“We are excited to bring Kyle back to the Hawks,” said Hawks General Manager Landry Fields, via <a href="https://www.nba.com/hawks/news/atlanta-hawks-name-kyle-korver-director-of-player-affairs-development">NBA.com</a>. “He is a tremendous person and someone whose presence will benefit all of our players, both on and off the court, drawing from his unique experiences over his 17-year playing career, as a late-second round pick who later became an All-Star in Atlanta and one of the league’s all-time best shooters.”</blockquote><p>In five years as a player with the Hawks, Kyle Korver averaged <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/k/korveky01.html">10.9 points</a>, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists, while also connecting on 2.5 triples per game at a highly-efficient 45.2-percent clip. Korver was named as an All-Star during the 2014-15 season as he helped Atlanta secure a conference-best 60-22 record. They went all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals that season.</p><p>Last year, Korver was part of the Brooklyn Nets coaching staff as a player development coach. His role with the Hawks will be his first stab at becoming an NBA executive.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It hasn’t taken long for him to make an impact on the roster.</p><p>The sharpshooter is obviously going to put in the work with the the wings on the team to improve their outside shot. Guys like Bruce Brown, DeAndre’ Bembry, and rookie Cam Thomas are bound to get some one-on-one sessions. But Shams Charania recently name-dropped big man Nic Claxton as one of Korver’s new students. According to <i>The Athletic</i>‘s Alex Schiffer, the pair’s sessions together began not long after Korver joined the team, in a random gym near Claxton’s hometown.</p><blockquote>Korver arrived at 7 a.m. and the two got after it. From free throws to 3s, Korver, one of the game’s great shooters, worked on a flaw that has followed Claxton since he declared for the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nba-draft">NBA Draft</a> out of Georgia; finding consistency in his jump shot. He couldn’t have found a better teacher in Korver, the Nets’ newest player development coach.“Everything that he does is easy for me to understand,” said Claxton, whose education under Korver has continued in San Diego, where the Nets have started training camp. “Of course his body of work, what he did, speaks for itself. But everything is relatable. He knows how to get through.”</blockquote><p>Nic Claxton could very well be an x-factor for the Nets this season. As the only dependable shot-blocking option on the roster, he’ll be called upon to defending opposing big men they may face on their quest for a title. Being able to make an impact on the offensive side of the floor as well would put Brooklyn on another level.</p><p>Claxton attempted just 12 threes in his first two seasons, connecting on two of them. Safe to say he’s going to shatter that figure this year.</p><p>Kyrie Irving and his Covid-19 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-kyrie-irving-gets-desperate-plea-from-mayor-bill-de-blasio-to-get-covid-19-vaccine/">vaccination saga</a> looks to be the biggest threat to the Brooklyn Nets’ title hopes thus far. But even with all pieces healthy and available, the Nets still face some healthy opposition from around the league.</p><p>That’s why it’s tantamount the supporting cast around Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden is poised and ready to raise the team’s ceiling even further.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Although Bucks guard Kyle Korver was not one of the initiators of that boycott, he couldn’t help but feel emotional when reliving the events that led to that decision.</p><blockquote>“I just sat there with tears running down my face,” Korver recalled the exact moment when his team decided to forego the important game, pe<a href="https://www.si.com/nba/2020/10/27/kyle-korver-details-bucks-boycott-nba-bubble" rel="noopener noreferrer">r Sports Illustrated’s Michael Shapiro</a>. “And I’m looking at my jersey that says Black Lives Matter, and I’m like, ‘what are we doing?'”“One teammate, George Hill decided he wasn’t going to play. …We all just sat there and were like, ‘we’re all with you.'”</blockquote><p>While Korver is just one of the few white players in Milwaukee’s roster, the 39-year-old shooter threw his complete support behind the Black Lives Matter movement to finally put an end to racial injustice and police brutality.</p><blockquote>“It’s always interesting for me as a white man in these spaces. How do I help as a white man? What do I say as a white man in this space?” Korver added. “And you know what you do? You stand with the marginalized. And when you can you amplify their voice, and you listen to their thoughts, and you listen to their ideas, and then you find your way to help out”.</blockquote><p>The Bucks decision to voluntarily get an L in their playoff game came just a day after African-American civilian Jacob Blake was shot by police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin — which just so happened to be eerily close to the team’s home floor at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Given the entire squad was miles away inside the bubble at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, the Bucks players felt they need to send a strong message by refusing to play.</p><p>This, of course, set the course for a domino effect that reverberated around the entire league. All the scheduled playoff games that day were postponed. The 2019-20 campaign was also put in jeopardy of being cancelled for the second time after the effects of the pandemic.</p><p>The season only managed to resume only after the league and the NBPA agreed to terms following several closed-door meetings.</p><p>Kyle Korver, on the other hand, did not have a productive season in his 17th year in the league, notching just 6.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 58 games.

The first three guys have carved out superstar careers. As for Korver? He is more known as a specialist and never the main guy. But being in the company of Hall of Fame shooters only goes to show that he’s pretty special as well.</p><p>He is now an unrestricted free agent after playing out his one-year veteran minimum deal with the Milwaukee Bucks. He only averaged 16.6 minutes, the least since his rookie season in 2003-2004, and put up 6.7 points and 2.1 rebounds. He is already 39 years old and has clearly slowed down. Korver, however, remains as one of the biggest outside threats in the NBA, and with the game stretching more and more to the three-point area, Kyle Korver can still be an asset to any team.</p><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kyle-Korver-has-hilarious-response-to-how-he-stayed-in-shape-during-hiatus.jpg"></figure><p>Korver <a href="https://behindthebuckpass.com/2020/10/09/milwaukee-bucks-to-buy-sell-kyle-korver-free-agency/">said he’d discuss with his family first</a> before deciding on his next step, while the Bucks are on a wait-and-see approach. But if he decides to leave, here are three ideal destinations for the sweet-sniping forward.</p><h2><b>New York Knicks</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/thib.jpg"></figure><p>If Korver doesn’t mind spending his farewell years with a losing record, an easy pick would be the Knicks, who were a disaster from the three-point line this season. They averaged a league-worst 9.6 makes from deep at an anemic 33.7 percent shooting. While Korver may not dramatically increase those numbers, he could definitely help. Watching the Knicks miss wide-open three-pointers all season was as painful as watching the last season of Game of Thrones.</p><p>For what it’s worth, the Knicks have able playmakers in Elfrid Payton, Frank Ntilikina, and RJ Barrett. They could set up Korver for outside shots off the bench, something the team has lacked for years now. He could also open the floor more for Julius Randle and Bobby Portis, who have the ability to attack from the inside. If they attract defenders in the post, Kyle Korver would be the perfect outlet. Just imagine the Madison Square Garden going crazy whenever he drains one from long range.</p><p>Joining the Knicks will also reunite Korver with his former coach in Tom Thibodeau. They spent two seasons together in those memorable Chicago Bulls squads that went deep in the NBA Playoffs. Thibodeau gave Korver all the confidence to shoot and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he does the same if they work together again in the Big Apple.</p><h2><b>Denver Nuggets</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/nuggets.jpg"><figcaption>CP</figcaption></figure><p>While the Nuggets played exceptional in this year’s NBA Playoffs, with Jamal Murray having his coming-out party and Nikola Jokic continuing his stellar all-around play, it also became clear that they lacked ample shooters. Gary Harris couldn’t sink a three-point shot to save his life, Michael Porter Jr. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nuggets-rumors-michael-porter-jr-s-trade-status-revealed/">was inconsistent at best</a>, while Jerami Grant, Torrey Craig, and Monte Morris all shot below 33 percent.</p><p>While it could be difficult for Korver to earn major minutes on a deep Nuggets team, his addition will surely bolster the roster nonetheless. He could give a jolt off the bench just by planting himself beyond the arc and waiting for emergency kick-outs or extra passes. Korver has never been a fantastic one-on-one player, so he will just continue the same role he’s done for the last 18 seasons—which safe to say, he’s done pretty well. The Nuggets averaged 27.2 assists this season, so moving the ball around to find spot-up shooters is not an issue.</p><p>The Nuggets only averaged 11.0 three-pointers this season, which is tied for sixth-worst in the NBA. Yet, they still notched the third seed in the stacked Western Conference. It feels like they’re one shooter away from getting over the hump, and an experienced guy like Korver could be that key missing piece.</p><h2><b>Los Angeles Lakers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ad2-3.jpg"><figcaption>ClutchPoints</figcaption></figure><p>Why not? Korver is still hoping to win his first NBA title before he rides off into the sunset. So why not join a team that just won it? The Lakers have a laundry list of free agents and they might not get to re-sign them all. There might be room for the former Creighton standout. Again, he’ll have his work cut out for him finding minutes with fellow outside specialists Danny Green, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and JR Smith on the roster. But he could still provide a lift, especially when the aforementioned guys are having one of their slumps.</p><p>He would have a field day getting open shots with LeBron James and Anthony Davis attracting defenses like sugar drawing out ants. Korver is familiar with how LBJ operates from their stint together with the Cleveland Cavaliers so transitioning won’t be a problem. If Jared Dudley found a way to contribute to the Purple and Gold, there’s no reason for Korver not to do the same. He’s a better shooter and is an underrated defender.</p><p>Kyle Korver thought he had a good chance of finally winning a ring with the Milwaukee Bucks this season. But they fell short. He got close twice with the Wine and Gold after reaching the NBA Finals. But again, zilch. Joining the Lakers could be last his good chance.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bucks veteran Kyle Korver reportedly spoke out to apologize if they had offended anybody with how they executed this move without alerting other teams, to which Boston Celtics youngster Jaylen Brown responded by saying that they did not need to explain themselves.</p><p>The Athletic’s Sam Amick reported on the Bucks veteran’s decision to address the group during the meeting:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sources also say that Kyle Korver apologized for the way the Bucks made the decision not to play without alerting other teams.

This one literally hit home for the Bucks, which is likely one of the primary reasons they decided to act swiftly on this matter.</p><p>While the Bucks have support from the rest of the league for this decision, the issue lies in their failure to advise other teams prior to making their announcement. In hindsight, that might have been the more prudent approach. Then again, with how quickly things have been developing of late, prudence might not be the biggest concern right now.</p><p>–</p><p><i>Follow ClutchPoints on <a href="https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clutchpoints/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a>, and like us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClutchPoints/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a>.

The one-time All-Star shared that how his days as a journeyman opened his eyes on the grim reality of social inequality.</p><blockquote>“I guess I have an interesting story,” Korver said, “that has given me a unique perspective.”“When I went to Philadelphia I was the only white guy on the team my rookie year,” he said. “After a couple years I get traded to Salt Lake City, which is as white as it gets in the NBA. Went from there to Chicago and Atlanta. Then I went to Cleveland, then back to Utah. And now I’m in Milwaukee, a place some say is the most segregated city in America. It seems whenever I go, I move from one side to the other,” he shared.</blockquote><p>Apart from his quest to win an NBA title for the first time in his career, Korver is also looking forward to using the NBA’s platform to raise awareness towards the BLM movement.</p><p>Father Time may have caught up with Korver in his 17th season, but he still remains productive for the league-leading Bucks.

He didn’t get to practice shooting hoops at all during the break. But somehow, he’s apparently looking like an upgraded version of his previous self, according to Bucks teammate Kyle Korver.</p><p>Korver explained why he believes Middleton is going to be entering the upcoming season restart in prime condition:</p><blockquote>“I’ve been super impressed with Khris,” Korver said, via <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/nba/bucks/2020/07/20/khris-middleton-off-explosive-start-orlando-practices/5476808002/">Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel</a>. “I think he looks great. I haven’t seen him move this explosively, change directions as well as he is right now. I think he really took advantage of his time.”</blockquote><p>Middleton himself opened up about how he kept busy throughout the lockdown period.</p><blockquote>“I just tried to lose a bit of weight, get stronger – that was the main thing – so I could be fully healthy, at full strength, so I could play my best basketball,” Middleton said. “That’s really what it was all about, trying to find a way to get myself to be in the best shape that I can to play.”</blockquote><p>We’ve heard more than a few transformation stories among NBA players throughout the quarantine period. It was indeed a challenge to stay fit while in isolation, but it was also a great opportunity for the players to exhibit their dedication and commitment to making the most out of a rather unproductive situation. Obviously, Khris Middleton is one of those guys, and he will surely play a significant role for the Bucks moving forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

Because those responsibilities are now off his plate, Korver seems to be relishing the return to basics of “getting to practice on time and working hard,” per a Tweet from <a href="https://twitter.com/ScottGrodsky/status/1285373871609327618">Scott Grodsky of CBS58</a> in Milwaukee.</p><p>Certainly, the Bucks will need Korver’s deadeye shooting off the bench, even though the veteran is simply a liability on the defensive end at this point in his career.</p><p>However, Korver’s three-point shooting skills cannot be denied. Among active players, Korver trails only Stephen Curry in triples made: Curry with 2495 and Korver with 2437. The Bucks know they have a marksman.</p><p>Beyond that, Korver — representing the Bucks — is 4th all-time in NBA history in made three-pointers behind only Ray Allen (2973), Reggie Miller (2560) and the aforementioned Curry.</p><p>Korver is remarkably consistent with his outside shooting as well, as his career true shooting percentage of 60.2 percent ranks 24th all time – a stunning achievement considering he’s 10th all-time in three-pointers attempted as well with 5685. He will try to make the biggest threes for the Bucks on their path to a possible title.</p><p>—</p><p><i>Follow ClutchPoints on </i><a href="https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp"><i>Twitter</i></a><i> &amp; </i><a href="https://www.instagram.com/clutchpoints/?hl=en"><i>Instagram</i></a><i>, and like us on </i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClutchPoints/"><i>Facebook</i></a><i>.
