Well they couldn't get Lebron, Wade, or Bosh so they get one of the best 3pt shooters in the NBA. Maybe they realized after they let John Salmons go that its imporant to have a good 3pt shooter on the team. They also have offered JJ Redick a 3 year/20 million deal.

Id say 5 million a year for Korver is a pretty good deal. He doesnt do much but shoot, but that team saw how important shooters are in the playoffs!

salmons was never really a pure shooter he was a scorer.

Korver isn't a bad defender either, he's worth 5 mil a year easily.

I thought he was pretty good defender in college, but it was mostly because he was bigger and just better than the competition. I havent seen nearly enough of his games in the NBA to see how he has improved his defense, but if he is a good defender like you say than the 5 million is that much better of a deal, I agree.

I like this move for Chicago. As has been stated, he doesn't do much but shoot but I feel as if this is a good move. Rose, Korver, Gibson, Boozer, Noah...pretty good team they are building.

Bulls doing a pretty good job of signing...other than missing out on getting a superstar.

Bulls should be very solid for the next couple years. They may not have the "best" players in the league but they have assembled a very talented roster that will and can compete with most any team.

Teams will definitely need their A game to beat them these days.
