Does Korver have anything left in the tank. Guys that can come in and hit a couple of buckets could be really valuable in the playoffs.

If we only use him at the end of quarters or when we’re way behind.

If he leaves Milwaukee, I'd absolutely want him here.  He played 16.6 mpg last year shooting over 4 3's a game and still hitting at around 42%.  Any time you can get a top 5 shooter in the history of the game for the veteran minimum, you should.

Yes, without a doubt. Even if he ends up being used only in certain situations, he's still really valuable. He shot well last season, and is just what the Celtics needs (even if a bit old).

He's going to be 40 years old this season and was bad defensively even in his prime.

Still, he could be 50 and still walk on the floor at the end of games and hit a big shot. As a shooter in key situations, he's worth it. If you want to legitimately contend, then these are the kind of guys who should fill your end of the roster spots instead of guys like Javonte Green.

Sure, Heck I'd take Ray Allen....we had nobody who could hit a big 3 on our bench.

He could serve as another veteran presence. What better player to help Aaron Nesmith than Korver? If Nesmith is the shooter we hope he is, then he will need to learn some veteran tricks on getting open looks, especially off screens.

Not an NBA player. Hasn't been for a few years.

Waste of a roster spot.

I’d be ok with it, but would rather give the minutes to Nesmith and Langford. If they’re not getting it done by mid season, we have the tools to upgrade then.

Could teach Nesmith tricks of the trade. I'd do it. Is he available?

I’m pretty sure he’s a free agent. I like having vets on the bench. He stretches the floor and can hit some shots. He’d be here for spot minutes during the year and when we need to score in the playoffs. He’s still a player who needs to be closely guarded and can hit big shots.
