The latest rumors surrounding the Kyle Korver situation include the Bulls adding former Oregon standout, Luke Ridnour.
Mat is never fond of players that need to be described using their collegiate careers as it often means the player has not had much success in the league.
Luke Ridnour fits the bill. He averages a respectable 9.9 points per game, but has never really lived up to being 14th overall pick quality.
Mat likes Ridnour's ability to knock down the occasional three (shoots 36% from three on career), and enjoys the idea of adding another guard who can play defense.
He also likes the fact that Ridnour would add yet another veteran presence to the squad without adding a ton of salary. Ridnour signed a 4 year $16 million contract with the T-Wolves in 2010. This means that his contract is set to expire in 2014, which as Mat's man KC Johnson says, "would jibe with the 2014 plan."
But Mat still thinks the Bulls are better suited hanging on to Korver instead of moving him for a player like Ridnour. It would save a bit of money, but the loss of Kover's talents would outweigh what Ridnour brings to the table.
