If it was a choice between AK @ 5 mil, and CJ @ 3.7 million I think Id rather have Miles. But I wouldnt really care either way, as long as we dont keep both.
I'd rather have Masha over C.J.
I have been one of AK biggest fans since he joined the Jazz. So, not surprisingly, his career has been a huge disappointment to me. No, his failures have not been all his fault, but he has to share part of the blame for not working to improve himself.
In frustration, I had a pet name for him whenever he failed to meet my expectations. I'm sure AK haters on this board might use it whenever they refer to him -- STINKOLINKO.
It's definitely better than Raja Smell, who actually is more deserving of our disapprobation.
5 million/year is a bargain for Kirilenko, for 3-4 years.
I still like Andrei as a role player at 3 mil or less per year. He can still provide a defensive presence on big perimeter scorers. I would far rather have him than Bell.
