Kyle Korver says trade from Jazz ‘definitely caught me off-guard’

Those nine words, uttered by Kyle Korver at Friday morning’s Milwaukee Bucks’ shootaround to a Salt Lake City-based reporter he’d interacted with the previous season as a member of the Jazz, were just another demonstration of the veteran sharpshooter’s inherent uniqueness as an NBA player.

They were also a preamble to his continuing penchant for saying what’s on his mind, and doing so with directness and eloquence.

As Korver grabbed a courtside chair to sit down and take his shoes off, the conversation naturally turned to him making his first return to Salt Lake City since being traded by the Jazz back in June as part of the Mike Conley deal, and of course, to his reaction to the trade.
