Sources: Suns to waive Korver after Jackson deal

As part of a Memphis Grizzlies-Phoenix Suns trade that includes four players, guard Kyle Korver is on his way to the Suns -- who plan to waive Korver and allow him to become a free agent, league sources tell ESPN.

Korver -- whose expiring contract can be waived for the cost of $3.4 million -- will consider signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers once he clears waivers, league sources tell ESPN.

The Suns are trading the No. 4 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, underachieving forward Josh Jackson, to the Grizzlies with guard De'Anthony Melton, a 2020 second-round pick and a 2021 conditional second-round pick, league sources said.
