Hey dumbass.com
For those of you who think we can trade AK for Kobe and Lebron.......
Ok, sorry, that's stupid.

Pull your head out, or go root for Cleveland.

Hopefully nothing is wrong in the Sloan or Kirilenko family.

The downgrade seems likely.
If it was AK -- as a guy who has wanted him off the team for a very long time -- this would be a kick in the nuts, assumptive within and to the package. I mean that relative to what Utah turned down -- Marion, Carter, et cetera -- only to now dump salary?
Broadly, that would all be very typical. Just trash. Years wasted in on-court performance, but now things aren't -- mirage-like -- arguable under any type of "contention" label, just pathetic mediocrity. So, yeah, make a move that's obviously a salary cut, then taunt your fanbase on Twitter about trains leaving stations and bandwagons to a better future.
I can see it happening.
I also think that the record would be more acceptable to management, except that the team is killing them by losing at home so often. It's the wrong kind of pathetic, in the wrong venue; they need that bait and switch cognitive dissonance, contradiction, of a "strong home court" as a sell-rate.
Did KOC try to strong-arm Sloan? Did they reach an impasse, and Sloan quit?
I don't know that this is so far-fetched. I looked at KOC tonight, and he made me think of Ted Thompson, the Packers GM. People can argue the Super Bowl win, but I think the way Favre was treated was disgraceful, and I do recall that Malone accused KOC of wanting both of the franchise's pillars gone in the early 00s in a controlling revamp similar to what went on in Green Bay.
The thing to remember about the NBA versus NFL, is that the latter doesn't mind -- will even cause and control for -- a small market winning their titles. Further, true parity exists in the NFL, which is how the Packers won the big game with the worst playoff seed.
But to close out, I find the AK trade scenario somewhat unlikely, just because I've always believed that the Jazz were happy with situation. Financially, that is. The international market may be good enough that Kirilenko was performing as a star relative to worldwide box office and profit for the Utah Jazz brand.
If that's the case, they would never get rid of him. Unless the financial picture recently changed.

I welcome change in the coaching department. I would be intrigued to see Johnson finish the year with Hornacek the primary assistant to show him the ropes, but if Hornacek became the next head coach, Corbin would have to be the next assistant or he'd be gone.
I'd love to see them give Corbin a run. His fist pumps alone should propel this team to greatness!
Just curious Nate how is the Melo situation going down in Denver? What is the general feeling from Nugs fans?
Aren't they furuious with him?
