    This may be old news but yesterday was first I had heard this story. I was driving home from work, listening to local sports station, The Sports Animal. Dean Blevins of News9 in OKC does a small segment each afternoon along with regular host. He does have some connections to Buford family but if I heard correctly in this case referred to a family member of Korver's agent as his source. He said Korver had reached deal with Spurs (the way he told it was binding agreement) and his agent had flew out of San Antonio. As Kyle was preparing to travel back to Atlanta, he had long conversation with his wife. She loved the Atlanta area very much and felt it was the first place they really felt at home from a family standpoint in Korver's career. After ending conversation with his wife he called his agent and and told him for family reasons he felt he shouldn't come to SA but work to stay in ATL. Dean says agent told him he needed to make call to RC. Korver then called RC, who was extremely understanding, gracious, and classy - telling Kyle to do what was best for family and would not hold him to agreement.

    This came up as they began to talk of the Spurs front office/player personnel success, and told the story to illustrate how classy the organization was. I am not sure I buy that there was a binding agreement, but I could see a situation where an agreement had been reached verbally. Anyway this is the first I had heard of this and thought I would share. So maybe the Spurs thought they had Korver, then with Neal looking for better payday settled on Ayres/Beli as plan B

    Why do these dudes listen to their wives? Does his wife make millions? Kind of is that. Korver makes bank, his wife should follow wherever he wants to go. Same with J Kidd. Since when does a a city make a family anyways? Home is where your family is. Dumb broad.

    He is under contract for 2 more seasons, so it would have to be a trade. If the Hawks are cap conscious going forward. Joseph and Belinelli would work salary wise and save them $6+ million

    Not so good. The market for shows about kids with freakishly large heads has kind of evaporated.

    I'm guessing you've not only never had a wife before, but not even a meaningful girlfriend.

    Sometimes you have to acquiesce to their less than logical requests to keep them happy. You can't have everything exactly your way all the time and expect to still have a happy lover years later.

    And if they have kids, there are more issues. It's hard for the kids have to leave their colleagues and friends and start again, in a new school, in a whole new environment.

    Wife should be submissive. Unless she's making bank she needs to follow her husband. The husband is the head of the household.

    Jason Kidd apparently valuing the opinion of the same wife he used to beat up I always found very humorous.
