Deron Williams Creates Utah Jazz 2.0 in Brooklyn

AK's going to be pissed when he sees how slow internet is in Brooklyn. His Warcraft gaming will be at an all time low.
 
He opted out of $10mm for a longer term deal and signs for $3.1mm? Crazy Russian. Good on him for taking a massive pay cut trying to win.

Let's not give the guy too much credit here. He did not sing with them to win. He miscalculated his value - Wolves grossly overpaid him last year, and he thought he can now sign a multi year deal for more overall money. He was wrong, and made idiotic business decision by opting out.

I disagree. I don't think AK cares tha t much about the money. His girl makes a lot of money too.

"Kirilenko is instead hoping to get a little extra security with a longer term deal when the market opens at 12:01 a.m. Eastern on July 1."

Does this sound like someone who is not worried about money since his girl is making some? Apparently a security of 10 mil dollar contract was not enough, he wanted multi year deal for larger overall sum, and grossly miscalculated his market value, making stupid business decision.
 
Good for AK. Never thought he was worth the contract here, obviously, but he is a good player and I hope the Nets do well.

He KNEW his value and that he was giving up money to opt out. To say otherwise is silly. He wanted to play somewhere else and have a better chance to win. He knew he would make less money, didnt matter too much.

Maybe Mr Prokhorov promised to help revive Masha's singing career.

You are misinformed. Inform yourself first using a link I just provided showing he wanted more security and longer deal.
 
I'd like to say that the hawks are interested in Mo so that makes a lot of jazz members there.
