Info
I'm pretty sure the Jazz will re sign him. (something like 3-4 years/ 12-16 million) his shooting is to important for their game and his unreal 54% from downtown this season make him currently the (by far) most efficient 3pt shooter in the league. (he doesn't shoot as many as in previous years, though)
If Utah lets him walk for whatever reason I think Korver would be a nice option here IMO. of course we won't have money to spend unless splitter decides not to come or something else drastically happens but would love to have Korver in silver and black.
I'm adding Kyle Korver to my FA list because he has one of those pure jumpshots, and once he gets going he can get hot.
And 3 point shooting was a big problem for us all season and really exposed in the Suns series and Korver was a 50% 3 point shooter this season.
He is 6'7 so he is in the height range of players I want the Spurs to go after.
Not sure what his asking price will be though on the market
If Utah let´s him go it will mainly for his defense or lack of. I would be really hesitant to bring another player that will get a hard time cracking the rotation because of this.
If Pop is still the coach, and the player is not Bonner - Mason, you better bring someone you know will be in Pop´s side.
can utah even afford him they traded ronnie brewer for a 1st round pick and are stacked at that sg and sf pretty much and got players coming in all over
would be of course the mason replacement
If we are getting rid of Bonner and Mason, Korver will be a suitable replacement if he can shoot in the playoffs ...
However, with Boozer's contract coming off this coming offseason, I think Utah may keep him.
You mean ..this Kyle Korver?

I'm hoping the Spurs can negotiate a deal to sign him. The only con is his defense.
Korver Open To Staying With Jazz
Kyle Korver is one of a few players that could potentially leave the Jazz this offseason, but he's open to returning.
Korver, who will be an unrestricted free agent, set an NBA record for three-point shooting percentage (53.6) this season.
"I'm very open to (signing with the Jazz)," Korver told FanHouse on Monday night. "We'll see what (the Jazz) want to do. It's too soon to really break all that down. You're always frustrated when you lose the last game, but they have a lot of decisions to make as far as roster goes, Booze and other guys. We'll see how it all plays out. Salary cap wise, (Carlos Boozer's situation) plays a huge role. We'll have to see what they do."

Someone is going to pay this guy a few million bucks. unless splitter negotiates to take only have the MLE which i highly doubt it, than i dont see this happening at all.
We need shooters to space the floor and Korver is a great shooter. I'd get him if we can afford him. Our lack of reliable three-point shooters really hurt us in the playoffs. We miss the shooting that Barry, Finley, ect. brought to our Championship teams in the past.
Draft Babbitt and you will have your Korver.
If Splitter comes, then there won't be enough MLE left over to land Korver. So the only way he's an option is if our offseason has gone horribly wrong.
korver gets more than the lle book it.
Your right. The only way Korver ends up with the spurs is if they are unable to bring splitter over. Then Spurs could pursue Korver or another shooter with the MLE and hope a big man falls in the draft.
Hey we need a 3 pt specialist
Why not?
Going by everyone in this thread, Korver is a lackluster defender who tries his best. That isn't an impossible proposition (see: Bonner, Matt), but do people just having differing opinions? The Spurs have solid to great defenders in their (maybe) returning backcourt of TP, MG, GH, GT, KB, and RJ, so I don't see why Korver's addition would be crippling, gameplay-wise.
And it won't be crippling salary-wise either if 2 of Mason/Bonner/Bogans are let go, and Pop is cool with Gee, Temple, and Hairston staying on account of them being dirt cheap.
I should have mentioned this in another thread, but I'm very pessimistic about who gets dropped. Everyone seems to be realistic about Bonner, and Mason is a true sure thing, but Bogans could possibly screw over Hairston, Gee, and the rookie (if they go for an SF) if he comes back. I doubt Pop will choose to only activate him to take on Kobe/Wade/whoever. He should see Hairston's potential to be way higher than Bogans. Malik is already better on O (minus 3s, but pick and rolls and screens would be enough for him), and probably D as well. Imagine if he plays 75+ games next year, and averages over 13 min. I have no doubt he would get over his NBA 3pt shooting woes, and spell Bruce Bo to Bogans' Bru.

I think the salary cap will prevent us from anything in Korver's salary range if we do (as we should) go after Splitter. Korver simply isn't going to sign a vet min. contract like Bogans, and spending whatever is left of the MLE on him seems unlikely.
I think he's a good option. If we can get for the LLE it would be perfect
Korver won't have any trouble getting more than the BAE. I doubt he gets full MLE, but he's still going to get $3 mil / yr from someone.
Agree. I like the fact that he excelled in the Jazz system, which would lead you to believe he'd find his way in the Spurs', but I can't see him getting $3M or less per.
LETS GET HIM!!!!!!!!!!! Kover would be a perfect fit in SA... we need to get this done
Whenever someone mentions him, this is what I always got reminded of.
This. Korver for anything less than 3mil per would surprise me.
