3. Kyle Korver

Statistically, Korver is one of the greatest 3-point shooters in NBA history. He ranks fourth all-time in 3-pointers made (No. 1 among active players) and seventh in career percentage, knocking down 43.1 percent of his looks from beyond the arc.

At 37 years old, Korver is a few years removed from his prime, when he made the All-Star Game in 2015 with the Atlanta Hawks, but as recently as last season he was a key contributor for the Eastern Conference champion Cavaliers.

During Cleveland’s early-season struggles, it was reported that Korver wanted out, and lately his name has been attached to some serious contenders like the Philadelphia 76ers. If he wouldn’t mind playing for a team with potential to make some noise in the playoffs but may not be considered the elite in the conference, Korver could help the Pistons.

A package including Stanley Johnson, power forward Henry Ellenson and draft picks could be enough for Detroit to acquire Korver. Johnson is young and in the final year of his contract, Ellenson is young and still has some potential, and every team likes draft picks.
