Korver Making a Big Difference in Salt Lake

After an NBA trading deadline that included a flurry of moves (Pau Gasol to the Los Angeles Lakers, Jason Kidd to Dallas Mavericks, and Ben Wallace to Cleveland Cavaliers), the Utah Jazz's acquisition of Kyle Korver has gone unnoticed by the typical NBA fan.

Since acquiring the former Sixer in late December, the Jazz have been nothing short of magnificent, as they have gone 19-3. since Korver is only averaging 23.3 minutes per game, but his career-high 46.9 shooting percentage has given the Jazz new life. By providing the three-point range that they've long needed, the Jazz big men, Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur have more room in the paint to score. Korver has enabled his teammates to attack the lane as a result of spreading the floor.

This trade may not have had the flash of some of the others but it is still proving to be quite valuable for the Jazz.
