“Not since college. I’ve always kind of felt like I was the only [shooter],” Korver told HOOPSWORLD. “You kind of knew where I was going to be out there. But we have a lot of shooters this year. I think it’s going to be great.
“The reason I wasn’t a Laker after my second year is because I didn’t bow down to Kobe,” Parker said. “I didn’t kiss his (expletive). I wasn’t kissing his feet. Quite frankly, towards the end of the second season, I stopped passing him the ball. I stopped giving him the ball. I started looking him off.
“It helped last time (I played in New York). I was able to play with those guys in the summer and then come in and start off the season. It is only going to help us this year. We have a few more games in preseason and after that last preseason game, we have a week of practice before we play again. It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be good.”
There’s another question, however, that would seem to overshadow the others: Is James Harden truly a maximum contract type of player? That, after all, is the reason he was traded. The Thunder did not believe him to be a max player, while the Houston Rockets, with less to lose, were willing to make that kind of commitment.
