What's new

kirilenko is available, maybe boozer also

At the right price... who wouldn't want AK to retire with our our organization.

He's good for the locker room, and he's always for the TEAM.

He's the best passer our team has seen since Stockton left and he'll be a more than adequate backup forward who will get our young bigs easy baskets.
 
"The Bulls thought they were getting a 20-and-10 center"? Seriously?

The upside of being a small market utterly ignored by the NBA marketing machine (aka ESPN) is that we can sell our players for more than they're worth, with their value based purely on their inflated box scores, because no one has actually seen them play.
 
I don't want Kirilenko as he'll want a long term deal, but trading for someone like Deng, Bogut, Granger would be amazing. They are expiring and it fills the cap temporarily so that we can re-sign Kanter/Favors/Burks/Hayward in the future. It's much better than signing a FA to a 3 or 4 year deal.

Why again do we temporarily have to fill the cap?
 
Only problem is that he's not a stretch-4. You want a guy that can actually SHOOT from 15-ft out. Sorry, I'd rather have Millsap back for what AK will make. Kirilenko must have a long-term deal in place if he's opting out. That, or he's heading home to the Motherland.

Agreed. I think trading for Bargnani (2nd rounder) or Byron Mullens would compliment Favors/Kanter/Gobert.
 
To consider signing AK you have to consider having him fort 3 or 4 years, as Colton said. That's why he opted out; he wants a long-term deal. Is this in the best interests of the Jazz. Maybe if they didn't have Marvin on the payroll. What a mistake he was. But probably they're better off looking for younger player.
 
AK I wouldn't mind at the right price (not sure why he's opting except if he thinks he can get more money, which is unlikely). Boozer not so much. He'll sit half a season if he tweaks his nipple.
