You forgot Hayward. If any of the three young wings-Hayward, Thomson, Evans pan out then the Jazz can even consider dumping Miles for a pick(unless he has a breakout season) and saving themselves 6-7 mil this year, including LT penalities. That will give them some more dough to deal with AK this offseason. Just a thought.

That's nice. He can live here if he wants. Just as long as he doesn't play here.
Kirilenko sucks. I'd much rather watch an average (young) player with potential play hard for most of the season than watch AK47 miss half the season due to injury. then miss half the games he's healthy for pouting at Deron for not getting the ball and turning the ball over in his worthless weak out of control euro drives praying for the refs to bail him out with a foul call.
Kirilenko sucks. He hurts this team just as much as he helps it.

Oh, do you mean the same euro drives that AK finished at 70% eFG% last year? What does that say for our supposed #1 inside player Boozer, who converted his Americano ones only at 67%?
The few AK haters just blow hot air, with their key argument ALWAYS being "he sucks" or "he pouts".

I'll make the argument that he is a mentally weak, physically weak ***** who cries like a little bitch on television.
Few things have been more destructive to the club than this wrongly angled, poorly haired, gangly albatross making max money while preoccupying himself Starcraft II, World of Warcraft and Russian literature to the detriment of his game. Which has remained stagnant for how many years now?

Huh?
Did you mean FT percentage? Because Kirilenko didn't have anywhere near a 70% FG percentage. Boozer's was however somewhat close to 67 %.....
Besides, what's your point? Most fans admit that he pouts. Even Deron Williams admitted that AK pouts. Mentally weak, dude, how many other NBA players have you seen cry on national TV about their lack of touches? Have you even seem him play for the last 6 years? He's one of the weakest players on the team.
Combine that with his insane contract and declining athletic skills... Yikes... I can't wait for AK47 to be off the team. We'll then hopefully be able to put in a typical SF that can drive and shoot while playing decent position defense instead of one that is virtually no threat offensively and takes way too many gambles. I know Brewer and Kirilenko got a lot of dunks and steals, but I'll take Wes Matthews's physical and tough position defense over those two any day.
I think that if AK only made 3-4 mil per year all of his antics up to this point would be a non-factor. It's hard to stomach his crap however when he's the highest paid player on the team and has hamstrung the club from making any additional transactions of great impact.
That being said, I'd love to keep AK around but not for more than 4-5 mil per year. He'll never settle for this however so we may as well say goodbye now.

Click Kirilenko's name and look under Shot selection.

Thank you LW, I get tired of explaining the simplest of stats over and over.

Your argument might get a quick laugh at some Saturday night amateur standup gig but in reality don't affect his game at all. I'm pretty playing Starcraft II is less detrimental to his game than hitting the clubs til 3 AM on off nights like most players do.

LOL.
That doesn't prove anything other than your stats are bunch of dog ****.
Using your stats, AK47 has a higher inside FG percentage than Shaq, Duncan, Boozer, Millsap, Dwight Howard, Brook Lopez(far better than Brook), Bogut, Amare, Gasol, Nene, and Andrew Bynum.
In fact, CJ has a higher inside FG percentage than Bogut, Lopez, and Shaq. Therefore, CJ Miles must be a better finisher, right?
Using your logic, AK47 is a better inside shooter/finisher than those proven post players listed above.
So you might want to forget using 82games.com for a while. Using that website can help you come up with some pretty outrageous opinions (such as the one you tried to post) while leaving you exposed like I just did to you.
That's ok though. I'm just a blind hater that blows hot air, right? You're the one with the rock solid stats! LOL!!!!
It's ok if you don't respond to this message, I understand. Being blown away hurts sometimes.

The stat includes free throws on those inside attempts, and in case you didnt notice AK draws ALOT of fouls inside and generally makes both his free throws. If you want to use pure FG% he is probably lower than Shaq, Howard, Duncan, etc but since free throws count as points eFG% is a better indicator of effectiveness. You can't win an argument against cold hard facts, and thats all I'm presenting here.
