The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to trade Korver, one of the best deep outside shooters in NBA history, to the Utah Jazz, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Wednesday. In exchange for Korver, the Cavs will get guard Alec Burks -- and his expiring contract -- along with two future second-round draft picks
For Korver, Cleveland will get Utah's 2020 second-round selection along with Washington's 2021 second-rounder. The Cavs also receive an asset in Burks' expiring contract worth $11.2 million, something they might be able to use in another deal.

The move is not without risk for the Jazz. First, the price seems steep. Burks can, at times, be a lethal isolation scorer, and the Jazz lack many players outside of Donovan Mitchell capable of generating their own shot against the clock. Burks is one of those guys. It wouldn’t be shocking to see him flourish in Cleveland, with more shots and more minutes available to him, which could put more pressure on the trade from a Jazz point of view.
And, Burks was a well-liked player in the Jazz locker room. He has been resilient throughout his career, as he’s battled back from multiple injuries to return in peak form.
