Gordon on moving to Celtics

Why should I care what he has to say? The way he and his agent outright lied to the Jazz throughout the process makes me assume anything he says is bound to be bull**** so I'm not even going to waste my time reading it. He's gone and I'm over it. **** him. The future is still bright without him if our FO makes the right decisions going forward. And that's what I'm focused on now.

Ha on this last thread about him. This place will never let it go. Ya!l would root for the warriors over the celtic s because that's how hurt y'all are. This board is like the boyfriend who gets dumped and can't let it go and name call the ex all the time she has over on to a better person and situation and that eats at you even more because you know you was never good enough so you pay her back by calling g her names and being a jerk if you ever see her in public even though she wishes you the best of luck and wants you to be happy like she is now this fan base is the whinest of all the other NBA fan bases by far,not even close. Hayward will get bashed on from people here in ten years still

I seem to remember a certain Illinois fan who was so pissed that the Jazz traded Deron that he whined and whined and whined. And finally vowed to leave the site and never return. His wittle feelings were very very hurt.

Now, who was that petulant child.... ????

To his credit, NCJ was an early Hayward hater. I think he actually called him "trash" and said that Shelvin was a better player.

Being completely wrong, yet again, is to his credit?

Man, it's better to stop before start to show ignorance. "...some lower level overseas thing that one NBA player was there for."? Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Boris Diaw, Marco Belinelli, Goran Dragic, Dirk Nowitzki, Hedo Turkoglu and Memo are some of the names that were competing on that "lower level thing". It's ok if you don't like euro basket, but to diss it in that way doesn't reflect good on you.

Bro you forgot to add Marc Gasol, Jose Calderon, Boris Diaw, Bargnani, Ilyasova, Teodosic, Spanoulis and Diamantidis.

Why wasn't ak better when he played for Minny? Or Brooklyn? Those systems were bad *** well?

Kirilenko played well in Minnesota. Anyway he was at the end of his career when he played for Brooklyn.

It seems you take into account only the scoring stats when you compare Hayward and Boozer to Kirilenko.

Kirilenko was a difference maker....he was doing all the little things to help the team to win games.

Yes, he was a solid role player just like he was with Utah. He was on a pretty bad team averaging 12 and 5. Almost, but not quite as good as what Boozer was doing on a winning playoff team in Chicago. When Boozer at that same age was averaging 16 and 10 in the same minutes.

Sticking with that argument that AK was good because of Euro play... Cool. My bad you are right he should have been the NBA MVP as well for what he did over there against much lower competition.

Truth is the Jazz reduced his role because he wasn't a natural scorer. They didn't handle properly his talent. Averaging 11-12 ppg being the 4th or 5th option on offense isn't bad.

In my opinon AK's complaints were not related to the fact that he wanted to be the first, second or third offense option, he wanted to be involved in the Jazz offense. I still remember many games where he was totally ignored on offense. You don't give a max contract to a player and then you reduce drastically his role and you don't play him in his natural position.

I blame Kirilenko for his poor work ethic but he was a hell of player.

I liked AK, he was one of the most exciting Jazz players ever early in his career. He had a lot of potential but never lived up to it. I blame most of it on AK but some of it could have been on the coaching staff or teammates. Regardless he never lived up to his potential and was never more than a role player on a good team. He never carried a team to the playoffs or was much help in the playoffs.

Again Boozer was one of my least favorite Jazz players but he did a lot more with his career and was a better overall player. Maybe if the team had decided to run AK at PF we could have been better but I doubt it and we didnt so it can only be a coulda woulda situation to say he was better. Reality is he wasnt.
