I just read some news that the turkish team Fenerbahce Ulker (where kanter and 2 turkish rookies all came from) is trying to make a move to get kirilenko for next year.

I am not sure how reliable is the news but i m curious if anyone has reliable info or strong rumor about AK's future in jazz n nba?
 
I wouldn't doubt there is some truth to it - I think you'll see this with a lot of players.

Another reason why The NBA is ****ed - it's gonna be a long lock-out.
 
I'm skeptical. Why would AK not want to rest his back and ankle and every other body part, while sitting on his semi-earned millions and kicking back? So he could garner the glory and notoriety of playing in the 8th best pro league in the world?

Dont dis the Turks. They play some good basketball. A matter of fact i will not be surprised if they become the 2nd best basketball country behind the US. Had a very good world championship run only losing to the US in the finals.
 
If we draft a SF, I doubt we resign him. I also doubt he resigns with a Turkish team. If he is going to leave the NBA he is going back to Mother Russia.
 
I would greatly prefer 3 more years of AK to 3 years of Singleton. But if Biyombo/JV aren't there at 12, my preference would be to trade down. Draft Mirotic, resign AK (or whoever), and wait until Mirotic can come over.

There are a handful of good players in Turkey, but a good nat'l team doesn't automatically translate into a good domestic league. Off the top of my head, I would guess the Spanish, Italian, Greek, and Russian leagues are all better, top to bottom, than the Turkish league. Russia... I could see AK going there to play out his autumn years.
