Interesting idea, jimmyjazz. But I think AK is pretty valuable right now to the Jazz.
1. He starts at SF allowing CJ to start at SG (if Matthews is not re-signed). Also allows Hayward to develop until at least the deadline. No need to rush Gordon into the starting lineup. Let him get experience and succeed against backups before he steps up to the next level.
2. AK backs up Millsap at PF. Harrington could also do this, but if AK STARTS at SF, he has no problem playing with the 2nd unit when Paul rests.
3. If Okur returns close to 100% by the deadline, our bigs are solid: Jefferson, Okur, Millsap play the majority of minutes. Fesenko could also get some time as our only big "thug" inside.
4. I'd rather see AK dealt for a very good starting wing. That gives us a lineup in 2 years of:
Deron/(Anyone besides Price or Gaines, please)
"TBD"/CJ
Hayward/CJ
Jefferson/Okur/
Millsap/Jefferson/Okur
That's the core 8. And hopefully we could also pick up a good 6th man. Maybe a combo guard would be a good fit. Play 10-13 mins behind Deron, then 7-10 mins at SG. Technically we have 2 combo guards right now in Gaines and Price; they love to "Shoot," but they're not very good at the "Point" aspect.

Damn. Worth a thought. And though I like AK. I think Harrington's toughness is something this Jazz team could really use. I wouldn't mind having them both. That's why I hoped that they could do the S & T and not lose AK.
Deron/Price or Brown
CJ/Hayward
AK/Harrington
Millsap/Harrington/AK
Jefferson/Okur/Fess
I think that's a respectable rotation. But it would be an expensive one until AK's deal is up.
FWIW I'd rather have Mike Miller if he is really not decided yet.
Can anyone guard those guys?
