See Ya Later Kyle




Philadelphia's resident Ashton Kutcher look-a-like, Kyle Korver, is heading to Utah. In his place, the Sixers will get Gordy Giricek, and a first round draft pick.
Korver will be missed, for his lights-out three-point shooting (including second place in the 2005 All-Star Weekend 3-Point Challenge), and his involvement with the Philadelphia community. He was very active in helping the Coats for kids drive, donating winter coats to Operation Warm. They, in turn, give disadvantaged kids new winter coats.
The Gordon Giricek I remember is the one who averaged 12.2 ppg during two season with the Magic, and who hasn't been very cooperative with the Jazz offices. I'm not too excited player-for-player wise, but the first round pick sounds pretty good, for a team that still lacks a face of the franchise since Allen Iverson has left. Andre Iguodala and Louis Williams have some potential, but lack A.I. charisma.
