Kyle Korver, Cleveland Cavaliers

The expectation is that the Cleveland Cavaliers, sooner rather than later, will trade Kyle Korver at some point before this year’s NBA Trade Deadline. He’s the type of veteran player that can help a contender, just as he did when LeBron James was still in town.

Another reason why Korver makes sense for the Sixers is that he’s the type of player that will cost less than a player like Ellington or McGruder. He may be well past his prime, but he’s still a reliable 3-point shooter at this point in his career. He’s a specialist, and is exactly what the Sixers can use in order to rebuild their bench.

In limited run this season, Korver is shooting 39 percent from 3-point range on just three attempts per game.
