This is totally factual.

I would greatly prefer 3 more years of AK to 3 years of Singleton. But if Biyombo/JV aren't there at 12, my preference would be to trade down. Draft Mirotic, resign AK (or whoever), and wait until Mirotic can come over.

I agree, basically Singleton has no chance to be as good as even 30 year old AK defensively or offensively. Might as well stick with AK for a few more years.

I just read some news that the turkish team Fenerbahce Ulker (where kanter and 2 turkish rookies all came from) is trying to make a move to get kirilenko for next year.

I am not sure how reliable is the news but i m curious if anyone has reliable info or strong rumor about AK's future in jazz n nba?

This is great news. He can take his yeast infections back over the Atlantic.

I'm skeptical. Why would AK not want to rest his back and ankle and every other body part, while sitting on his semi-earned millions and kicking back? So he could garner the glory and notoriety of playing in the 8th best pro league in the world?

turkey has second best league in europe, if u think the 5 other pro leagues above turkey are some african leagues, its kind of ignorance

There are a handful of good players in Turkey, but a good nat'l team doesn't automatically translate into a good domestic league. Off the top of my head, I would guess the Spanish, Italian, Greek, and Russian leagues are all better, top to bottom, than the Turkish league. Russia... I could see AK going there to play out his autumn years.

in greek there is only olympiakos n panathinaikos, italian league is underachieving for quite a while, russian isnt that good neither, only this summer CSKA made a good move to sign Krstic.

There r 4-5 above standard teams and 2 very good teams in turkey. One of those 4-5 standard ones had iverson on their roster this year till he got injured(a major one on his knee) and had to be seperated
