2. Kyle Korver

Kyle Korver is almost 40 years old. But when you can shoot the basketball, your career can be prolonged. Korver is one of the best 3-point shooters in NBA history.

Last year at 39 years old, Korver with the Milwaukee Bucks shot 41.8% from 3-point land. He is also fourth in NBA history with 2,450 3-pointers and is only 110 away from passing Reggie Miller for second all time. With Steph Curry also 45 more made in front of him.

Korver also shot 47.5% from 3-point range in Cleveland when playing with LeBron. So some of his best basketball came while playing with him. LeBron knew which pockets to find Korver in and Korver would thrive with AD and LeBron on the court.

He would have more space then ever to shoot. Also he was above average on the defensive end last year even at 39 years old. NBA advanced stats had him at a 103.7 and a per 100 pace had him at 106.

This would be great value on a one year deal, it might even come at a veteran minimum deal too.
