L.A. Lakers Rumors: Kawhi Leonard to snub Los Angeles for Toronto, Kyle Korver is a target and more

Kyle Korver is a buyout target

Kyle Korver spent the second half of the 18-19 season with the Utah Jazz

Heading into the 19-20 season, the Lakers are in desperate need of shooters, and ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the franchise is among three teams interested in signing Kyle Korver.

Suns are planning to buyout the partially guaranteed contract of Kyle Korver, league sources tell ESPN. Lakers, Sixers and Bucks are frontrunners to sign Korver once he clears waivers, sources said.

Korver started the 18-19 season with the Cavs but was traded to the Jazz in November. Over 70 combined appearances, the veteran averaged 8.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists while shooting 41.6 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from beyond the arc.

The forward spent 18 months with LeBron James in Cleveland, and despite turning 38 earlier this year, Korver remains among the best three-point shooters in the NBA. For his career, Korver has connected with 43% of his three-attempts and the veteran currently sits fourth on the all-time list of made threes during the regular season with 2,351.
