Although I risk the wraith of AK haters, I must silence the pain crying out from my soul. I have been a long and loyal fan of AK since the departure of Karl and John. I have defended him too all despite his unimpressive and mind boggeling inconsistant play. Now my hero's jazz tune is complete and it was a fantastic experince.

AK I hope that you find all the success and happiness that eluded you during your stay in Utah. The NBA has seen few players like you and the Jazz even less. Good luck and god speed, you have entertained me for years.
 
Hey, the Jazz are still under the cap with a roster spot, they could pick him up, even at his price I think they still have enough.....

J.K. Anyway I lost a lot of my appreciation for AK the day he said that he should be paid the same as Pau Gasol. He held out until he got a max contract, and I don't think he's ever been a max player. Close, but not the max.

As for success, he did go with us to a western conference final. Not bad at all for a small market team rebuilding.

The Jazz are not under the cap. The are over the cap and under the luxury tax.
 
You'll be missed. Glad some one may take our place on the receiving end of AK now.

I'll also miss your amazing hair you sported last year. I hope the next team enjoys it as much as I did.

So much talent so little effort most of the time. I don't have anything personally against AK but the love for the guy is way beyond common sense. I would say overall AK had a disappointing career as a Jazzman considering the hype. Like all former Jazz players I do wish him well.

Nice post cowhide. I think this sums it up well. The fact is, for the money and the time he spent here he was underwhelming. But he is a part of Jazz history and he will have some kind of legacy, even if it is just one wonderful all-star season where he delighted most everyone. Wow was that fun to watch. I think most posters on here would wish him well, as do I.

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to LogGrad98 again."

Shucks.
 
AKMVP, I know Howard missed 2 End game fts... But can AK slash, hesitate, Stepback, and drain a fadeaway?

I hope you enjoy Josh Howard destroying teams this year as much as I do. Especially AK and NJ.
