with deron and sloan gone, i think kirilenko has the chance to flourish a little bit under coach corbin... he's still a great all-around player... we also need some veteran presence for our rookies, so it might help to resign him if he doesn't expect too much money....

I don't think that's the right veteran presence we want around our rookies. When's the last time that dude actually tried to earn his money?
 
I went with Kirilenko, whose contributions were not up to his salary, but have always been undervalued by muich of the board. However, Price would also be a very good signing. I think Fesenko's time has passed with our loaded front cout.

Still a great all around player? Since when? He's greatly all-around skilled but he's not a great all-around player.

I went with Fess.

Mostly because I'd rather sign rusty larue or milt palacio than Price. And I don't think AK is a good role model for our young players. Fess can be had on the cheap and is a big body.

That said I really don't see a need for any of these players to be re-signed.
 
I would re-sign Kirilenko if a) he will come off the bench and b) he will take a $4M per contract. With him not starting, going in and out of lineup like he sure will becomes a lesser problem and may increase his durability.

Yeah, I can see it now. After a crazy night out on the (virtual) town with AK; Burks,Kanter,Hayward, and Favors all become addicted to playing WOW and reading Russian Fantasy Novels. So addicted they all stop caring about basketball and get injured for 35% of the season each year.

Actually my point was he does not seem to work hard. He has done nothing to improve his game for 6 years and does not have the best attitude for being a leader. If re-signed he will be our longest tenured player and one of if not our main veteran presence. That is not a role I want AK in.
 
I went with Fesenko because:
- he is excellent value for money
- he is a big body that occasionally can be a game changer as we all could see and which nice to have if you have injuries hitting your team
- Jazz will most likely will move one of the bigs next season/offseason

Price - sorry, no love there.
AK - we need time for younger guys

I would much rather have a player in the locker room that parties his *** off if he deserves it than a timid player that doesn't even have enough respect for the pay he's getting to get his **** together and lead by example. AK is in a Lebron-class of overall talent (less by way of physique, more in the way of length and pure basketball ability), and he's done nothing to expand his game since he got paid. You are damn right I don't want that around my team.

Remember when this was tried when he was more in his prime than he is now?

I thought he logged serious minutes around the 04-06 seasons (his peak I think). I was seriously young when I followed tha Jazz back then, so take this with a grain of salt.
