View Full Version : Korver To Spurs was a done deal?

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 shit is that. Korver makes bank, his wife should follow wherever he wants to go. Same shit 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

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.

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

Let's face it, the idea of coming to San Antonio sickens many players and they resort to all kinds of bullshit reasons to ultimately pass them over. Oh well, those players tend to not have any rings while we rack them up.

His wife did the Spurs a favor.

Despite his poor postseason, Marco gave the Spurs some solid minutes off the bench in the regular season.

I don't think Korver would have done much better than that.

It's interesting to think about now, but the Spurs may have had a ball movement offense a lot sooner had Kidd signed.

Then again, I liked Parker OK as the PG and wanted Jermaine O'neal instead. I always go for a very good big man first over a guard.

Yeah, exactly. As much as I would've loved to have Korver, I understand that he chose family first. All guys who have families should unless there's some major reason to pressure a move.

A marriage is an equal partnership which requires communication and compromise to succeed. You do not own the woman you are with. Just because history is a litany of patriarchal dominance and misogyny does not mean it's right or makes sense. Neanderthal attitudes like this are a blight on men everywhere.

True. I still imagine that marrying a NBA player makes it clear that there are going to be a few sacrifices to make in the short term, at least if said player is interested in the least in his sports career (= reaching some sports related achievements, something he won't be doing in Atlanta any time soon). Now if he's just interested in money and making his wife happy, then he certainly made the right decision.

He's a woman beater and a liar and has no ethics. Some people might look at him as some sort of Machiavellianist or Boss but he's just a low-life piece of shit.

I live relatively close to Atlanta. Athletes like it because it's a massive city and there are some nice areas in the city with a large black population. Overall, Atlanta is like 60% black.

Also, the Buckhead district (which is mostly white) is one of the wealthiest areas in the country. A lot of athletes live in that area.

I mean would she let you "stare her away" (whatever the fuck that means) if she got some plum opportunity in another city--one that banked more than even you, superman? Are you on her team or what?

Are you a woman? If so then you are a perfect example of why women should not lead. You're response is obviously emotionally charged. Instead of taking a step back to think you automatically assume that our point of view is wrong. And if you're a man then lol faggit.

I understand what you are saying, and that works for mundane stuff. When it comes to meddling in my career and messing around with personal goals (I.e, winning an NBA Championship), she is the one that has to bend. If she tries to keep me from attempting to make my dreams come true, there will be hell to pay. There has to be balance in the relationship. I don't mess with her career choices and she doesn't mine. If it requires me to move, if I am the breadwinner we move. If she is, then I move.

if you bring the bread home, and you think like kidd k, you might be a PHAGGOT

I wouldn't expect a different comment from a lonely, autistic virgin like yourself.

Ayers/Belinelli vs Korver - Korver wcold have contributed more in the playoffs. Now he'll just have to spend the rest of his life regretting never to have won a championship.

Speaking of Korver, Zach Lowe has a pretty good new article up on Grantland about him:


Kyle Korver: An Offense Unto Himself
How the Hawks sharpshooter became one of the most uniquely valuable players in the NBA

BY ZACH LOWE ON JULY 29, 2014

As the second round of the 2003 draft puttered along, the Nets watched as teams ahead of them plucked every player in which New Jersey had interest. The team, fresh off an Atlantic Division win and an appearance in the NBA Finals, was so low on cash, it considered selling the pick to finance its summer league team.

With none of their preferred choices on the board, the Nets brass selected Creighton forward Kyle Korver with the 51st pick — and immediately sold his draft rights to the Sixers for $125,000. That covered summer league. With the leftover cash, the Nets bought a new copy machine.

well some posters here think he's not a two-way player. I beg to disagree, the guy is a decent defender, nowhere close to a lock-down defender as Green is, but sure is a damn better shooter. And a more consistent one, too. 47% is insane.

Kyle Korver career 3G% .425
Danny Green career 3G% .421

Well, there's a reason for that. Great shooter, but he has a vagina defensively. Green is way better defensively and it's not even close tbh

Still makes him better. Has a better FT clip and a TS clip as well. Marginally yes, but still better, even if by a hair. If the article saying the Hawks are a Spurs East and Korver makes nearly half of his attempts, add to that the fact the Spurs were interested in him before settling for Belinelli + scrub, it's not hard not to imagine what he could have done, but of course that's staying a hypothetical. He's been to four teams and has been a serviceable shooter throughout his career. Not sure how Green does in other situations, but the system has to factor in somehow.

LOL yeah his vanilla ass got torched a lot of times, but the article sufficiently talks about his improved defense. Worth the read, really.

A marriage is an equal partnership which requires communication and compromise to succeed. You do not own the woman you are with. Just because history is a litany of patriarchal dominance and misogyny does not mean it's right or makes sense. Neanderthal attitudes like this are a blight on men everywhere.

Let the flaming begin. :rolleyes

This! I would hazard a guess that none of the guys making the macho statements have been in any sort of long-term relationship.

Oh, I would absolutely take him over Beli, but never take him over Green. The difference in shooting between Korver and Green over their career's is a toasted pubic hair, but the defensive difference is VAST, even if KK has improved.

Would've loved Korver as a Spur, but not to be. Instead he gets to play for Bud in ATL.
