Korver Wants To Sign With Winning Team, To Play 5 YRS

Post #1 » by **HMFFL** » Sat Mar 30, 2013 4:39 pm

Kyle Korver figures to get his share of offers on the unrestricted free-agent market this summer.

“I think I have still got, lord willing and no injuries, four or five good years, but you never know, we’ll see,” Korver said. “At this stage of my career, to be on a bad team, I just don’t want any part of that. It is good to be here. It is always good to be in the playoffs. The playoffs are a whole other world. It is a different game. It is where you make the memories. I want to play in a good culture on a good team.”

Korver, now in his 10th season, credits his longevity to a healthy lifestyle.

“You keep on getting experience. You keep on getting smarter. You learn the little tricks of the trade,” Korver said. “I don’t depend on jumping over people and running by everyone. I stay in great shape and always keep on moving, but I don’t have to necessarily hit a certain speed all the time. I feel the best I have felt in several years. One of things you learn how to do is take care of yourself and that is something I pay a lot of attention to.” http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/22 ... More-Years

Lets not pretend as if there isn't a chance the Hawks might be rebuilding next year with only Horf, Lou, Jenks and probably two rookies under contract. There's a ton of more stable playoff teams that aren't likely to see the same turnover as the Hawks.

Just to be clear: he said he included us as a good team.

when he means winning team i dont think he just means a team that is over .500 i think he means a contender.

I have no problem in giving Korver what he wants, a 5 year deal. maybe around the $15 million to $18 million range. something similar per year to what Mike Dunleavy just got from the Buck last summer.

That Dunleavy deal is kinda bad though. No one is giong to guarentee Korver 5 years. I would give him 3 years at 12-14 and if he doesn't take that, then he can walk honestly.
