Desnews: Jazz talking to Watson and AK

[NCJazz]

AK is not worth $10 mil a year. $4 max.

AK can still play. Has been tearing it up in Russis. He will make more than 4 million a year and is worth more than 4 million a year.

I read on hoopshype that AK has been contacted by about 10 teams so far.. I have a feeling that someone will throw a big offer at him. I would be shocked if we resigned him at this point.

I think someone will probably offer him $10M per, for three years, with the third an option year. He's worth with it for a team that fits his skills.

This is exactly what is going to happen, and no one should be surprised by it. AK is worth $10 mill a year to the right team. But for hells sake, not to us. If KOC brings him back at anything more than $4-$5 mill he should be run out of town.

Tearing it up in Russia? Who gives a ish? It's Russia. Isn't Adam Morrison tearing it up over there to? Doesn't mean anything. if he's making more than 4-5M let it be somehwere else. russia for all I care. Just because Kapono makes mroe then 4M doesn't mean he's worth it. look what AK has made the last few years, was he "worth it?"

 

[LogGrad98]

If they are talking to AK then maybe that means they have a trade in the works for cj or Millsap?

Please let it be so!!!

AK will get a deal bigger than the Jazz are willing to offer from a team looking to make a splash after they miss out on Nene, Chandler, and Marc Gasol.

Brilliant dude. Clearly he is not worth 17 million. But 7 million absolutely.

boy, you have really no clue who is worth what in todays NBA right? Jason Kapono last year made more then 4mil.. for your information..

JSL is actually right, Jason Kapono is NOT worth 4 million. In fact, he is a free gent if Im not mistaken, and the Lakers wanna sign him for 1.3 million a year. There goes your comparison. Better luck next time.

For the record, for most NBA teams I would slot AK's worth around 8 million. For a team that gave him a max contract for several years like the Jazz, I would expect AK to give us a serious Hometown discount. Anything more than 5 million is a ripoff.

I certainly agree that AK should give us a discount, but not sure he would give up around 10 million for 3 years to sign in Utah

Then good riddance; the lack of AK simply gives us more minutes for Hayward and Millsap at the 3, resulting in more Favors time at the 4.

I still think AK will stay in Russia, where he can always be the man. If he comes here he will come in on a $10 mill per year salary somewhere. Better not be here though.

By the way AK is actually donating all his earnings in Russia to charity, but of course how long does he want to keep doing that? He has got to feed his family. If someone offers him 10 million I believe he will definitely be over. Not sure he will quite get that much though. In an interivew he did he actually did not seem entirely happy to be in Russia full time.

Kapono was overpaid too. He is talking about signing a $1.2 million contract with the Lakers. AK is not worth close to $10 million. The Jazz overpaid the guy once they do not need to do it again. Personally, I would only keep AK if the Jazz were able to get rid of Bell or CJ. I wouldn't pay the guy more than $4-5 million which is what role players should get.
