As it became clear early on this season that the Cavaliers were not going to be a factor in the playoff race, Korver landed on the trade block. The long-range specialist was due $7.5 million and simply doesn’t profile as the type of player Cleveland needs right now. He hasn’t had much of a role with the Cavaliers, shooting his usual 46.3 percent mark from three-point range but in fewer than 16 minutes per game. Expect him to fill a larger role with the Jazz.
