How does this set with all of you Korver knockers? Maybe you will appreciate him a little more IF he decides to stay with us. Being selected to this group is not a mis-print folks, he has got talent and fortitude. What do you say Miles? I don't see More..
Millsap is a restricted free agent.
Nahhhhh Korver stinks... No defense...
