The Korver move is consistent with Lue's run & gun philosophy which he pushed for last year. It is a Channing Frye move. Lousy defenders who space the floor. Lue specifically commented after he was hired that he wanted to make the Cavs play with a lot more pace.
Williams, Williams, and Bogut were brought in because the Cavs depth was lousy and the Cavs were struggling to compete not just with Golden State, but with anybody. I don't take much stock in those moves because they brought in whomever they could afford. The Cavs team is representative of Lue's philosophy. Zack Lowe wrote a terrific piece on the Cavs earlier today and he's right -- the Cavs play better when they slow the pace down. And I don't understand how playing in a sprint was considered the best way to beat Durant.
