Kyle Korver heard the rumor about a week ago that he could be packaged as part of the eventual trade that sends Allen Iverson away from Philadelphia.

But Korver said last night that he got reliable news from the only source that matters to him: president and general manager Billy King.

"I don't have to worry about it," he said, referring to what King told him.

Korver was mentioned in a deal which would have sent him and Iverson to the Clippers for a package involving talented guard Shaun Livingston.

"You just learn to push it all in the back of your mind," he said. "You have to. It's not the easiest thing to do, but this is our job. We get paid to do this. You just try to block it out and focus on what you have to focus on."
