I didn't find a FA thread about Korver, so I hope I didn't start something already posted.

You didn't, there isn't for the moment threads for players who can become a FA with a player or team option.
If you want to talk about one of these potential FAs, you can create a thread about him.
Otherwise, threads will be created for them if they become FA.

ok, I see.
it was because of the report from today that Korver is going to opt out and become a FA.

if he in fact becomes a FA, I wonder if the Spurs are still interested. he almost became a Spurs during the 2007-08 season. (ok, mason likely took the role the Spurs would have given him back then)
what will it take? I don't think Korver asks for the full MLE. likely the long term security is his main goal. would he sign for, let's guess, 4 years / 15 million, starting at slightly over 3 million?

Isn't Korver more of a spot up shooter instead of off the dribble/pick like Mason is?

I like Korver a lot, but we already have enough spot-up, stand-still shooters. Need a SF who can both shoot and create his own shot. Not to mention, rebound and defend, which Korver does neither.
