Rondo, 33, spent the 18-19 season with the Lakers, making 46 appearances (29 starts). The point guard averaged 9.2 points, 8.0 assists, and 5.3 rebounds per game.

Green is coming off a season in which he won the title with the Toronto Raptors, and the 32-year-old is widely considered one of the NBA's best two-way players. During the 18-19 season, Green averaged 10.3 points and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 45% from three-point range.

Meanwhile, Korver previously linked up with LeBron James with the Cavs and is a career 43% shooter from beyond the arc. The 38-year-old is entering the final year of his contract, although he could be waived by the Jazz in the coming days.
