Kirilenko Question

I love AK's game, but the guy has glass ankles and problems with back spasms every year. Those don't look like they are going away either. We need to trade him.
 
Odom's deal is a perfect template:
$7,500,000
$8,200,000
$8,900,000
$8,200,000 (team option)

Of course, Prokhorov will offer him $10 mil./per.
 
Honestly, if the Jazz can resign him for 5-7 million, I bet he has a better tenure with the Jazz over that contract than he has with his current contract. He's been so worried about being the man on this team because of the money he makes that he doesn't stick to what he's best at.

If he is making less money, he'll realize he doesn't need to score 20 points every night and can go back to recording 5x5's.
 
AK's situation is a catch-22. If he plays well, his value goes up in the offseason, but more significantly it goes up as a chip to obtain cap relief at the deadline. I'd love to keep him at the right price, but I see him getting dealt, and I see him being valuable in free agency. I don't see him coming back to us if he gets dealt. The best way to keep him would be to resign him before his contract lapses if he was inclined. But I don't know how much interest the Jazz would have in that. It's worth a little meeting, though, to see if he's happy enough in Utah to offer a hometown discount. There's no question we're a better team with him, but we're handicapped by his present contract as well.
 
I try not to concern myself with your happenings, but your signature idiocy just jumped off the page.

You don't like my signature? I found it quite entertaining, actually, which is why it's there. Maybe I should be a full time bitch like you, and do nothing but complain and rip on everything...? That is so much cooler, maybe I'll do that.
