It will still affect the cap. If not, why is this even an issue?

CJ's decent and Korver sucks.
I wish him good luck...unless he signs with the Lakers, then to hell with him.

He'll end up signing with whatever team Bron is playing for.
Goodbye rest of NBA!

I'll also miss him not taking shots because he was protecting the record.
Korver is a one-dimensional player. Well, two, you also bring him in with 2-mins left if the other team has to foul. But even his FT shooting declined last season to a pretty pedestrian 79.6%.
Matthews/CJ
AK/CJ/Hayward
Millsap/AK
We have decent depth at the 2-3-4 due to the ability of AK and CJ to play multiple positions. In a perfect world, you'd like to have Korver back. But letting Korver and Boozer walk allows the Jazz to consider all trade proposals for AK. Jazz can take back 100% of AK's salary in players and picks and still be very near the tax threshold.
They can also use the Harp exception if someone needs to dump a player come July 1st to make a run at 2 MAX FA's.

True Glasseater, I suspect that's the reason he didn't get 30 minutes a game last year. Still, having a guy like that who can spread the floor and put fear into the opponent whenever he grabs the ball on the perimeter is going to be sorely missed.

I agree. I like Korver. But the Millers have to be near the tax threshold. We saw that reflected in the Harp/Maynor and Brewer salary dumps.
Costs are going up with the Deron and Okur raises, re-signing Matthews and Fesenko and bringing in a #9 pick. There IS still hope the Jazz will bring him back. KOC did say they didn't draft Elijah Millsap in the 2nd round because there might not be a spot for him. Do you really want to have just 4 players at the 2-3, with one being a rookie and the other probably getting half his minutes at the 4? And, no, I'm not counting Jeffers. Nice story, but he's not an NBA-caliber player.
Furthermore, what KOC said about the fans not booing in TWO years, leads me to believe Hayward is being considered as a major rotation player this season. There is room for Korver.
