While Andre Iguodala looks like he will be with the Memphis Grizzlies until they can find a trade for him, the Grizzlies already shipped another potential Laker to the Phoenix Suns. However, it looks like sharpshooting veteran Kyle Korver will be on the waiver market soon enough.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported earlier this week that the Suns plan to buy out Korver’s partially guaranteed deal and that the 38 year old will draw interest from the Lakers, as well as championship contenders Philadelphia and Milwaukee.
It appears Suns executive James Jones is doing LeBron James and the Lakers another favor by buying out a potential rotation piece for seemingly no reason, as he did last fall with Tyson Chandler.
The Portland Trail Blazers, who have retrofitted their roster around Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic, will also likely have interest in one of the greatest 3-point shooters of all time.
Korver was a monster alongside LeBron James during their last season in Cleveland together, shooting 43% on 3-pointers and being a reliable 4th quarter scorer for them throughout the season.
The biggest concern with Korver at this stage of his career is his ability to stay on the floor due to nagging injuries. He can probably only play about 20 minutes per game but those 20 minutes will be highly valuable to anybody who is lucky to land him.
