Charlotte Observer When the phone rang at 12:58 AM on November 24th, Kyle was super happy to be leaving Indiana and taking his super shooting self to a Charlotte team who is improving by most people's opinion. Korver was tired of coming off the bench for one of the worst teams in the league, not that he would start for Charlotte but at least they were decent. He knew David Lee was hurt, and there bench was weak so he would see plenty of playing time at least to start off. The Pacers GM then calls him and says "it is very hard to deal with the bobcats we had a deal and he made it diffrent i wont be doing this i pmed u by the way, i decline this trade." Korver was pissed and said "Just do the f***ing deal so I can get away from your psycho ass, it's the same deal." After being publicly mocked by many of the other GM's in the league, Indiana agreed and basically got a 2010 for Korver. "I was so excited to come here" Korver said of his new team. "Indiana was a mess, and ERIC GORDON was starting in front of me no matter what I did." Since coming to Charlotte Korver has played well other than his first game we he only scored 1 point in a lose to Miami. His best performance was scoring 24 points on 9-18 shooting (4/6 from down town) with 5 asst. and 5 rebounds to help the Bobcats compete with the 2 time defending champion New Orleans Hornets 112-101. "I've been impressed with Kyle and hopefully he will be a Bobcat for a while." said Bobcat GM Charles Boen "At this point he is way better than any scouting report I have on Eric Gordon."

With the trading of Rip Hamilton Korver will start, but he if he struggles I will start Daniels. Obviously I got Nelson for trade bait, and things can change but for right now Kyle Korver is the starting SF for the Charlotte Bobcats.
