The wink-wink could be that Korver opts out of that salary with the understanding that the Spurs would pay him more next season. There are some issues with that, but it's not completely horrible. Illegal to have in writing, but not horrible.
It would solve the cap problem, but there's absolutely no reason for Atlanta to do that. They're responsible not only for the remainder of this year's salary, but also the 5M+ that he's guaranteed for next season.

I'm not aware that Korver has an option for that last year, but even if he did that is an extremely far fetched scenario.
I misspoke. I mean that he opts to make his final year completely non-guaranteed to facilitate the buyout. And yeah, it's far-fetched for a lot of reasons, not the least of which being that the Spurs probably couldn't pay Korve all that much next season.
That's not the whole deal -- that's where the wink-wink comes in.
^^^ If they could somehow get him, I do believe Pop would play him, but he's not worth all that would require to get him. He's looked done and he was already starting to slow down by the playoffs last season. One of the reasons ATL struggled. So no, I didn't want him either.
I've never been a fan of Korver, noticed his shot disappears in the playoffs and when he's not hitting em, he's useless.
Korver and Thabo for Green.
