they ended up paying the tax anyway

so essentially they swapped out Korver for Hinrich

You're right. Forgot about the Richard Hamilton contract still being on the books. They saved about 1M of tax money that season. Still, the point is they didn't trade Korver to pay Hinrich. They traded him to save tax money. It was speculated they would do that before Hinrich was even signed.
