Jazz Lose All-Time 3-Point King

I am wondering why the Jazz let Kyle Korver go. Didn't he just set the all-time record for single-season three-point shooting, connecting on 53.6 percent of those shots? Fifty-three percent is a great ratio for two-point shots, but remarkable for three-pointers.

Weren't the Jazz 120-60 in games Korver played for them?

Yet, the Jazz didn't even make him an offer.

There may be factors the Jazz considered that I do not know about. Maybe his defense was suspect. Maybe he didn't fit the Jazz style of play. Maybe the Jazz are just so loaded with good players, they had to let someone go.

All is that by bringing Carlos Boozer and Kyle Korver into their starting five (assuming Korver starts, the Bulls added a potent one-two punch most any team would relish. Fans in the Windy City might be forlorn at the moment, after having chased LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh and came away with none of them, but it is hard to think the team didn't improve by raiding the Jazz for Boozer and Korver.
