Even Fesenko got signed before Kirilenko did
...The Jazz are missing a piece on defense, and that piece is Andrei Kirilenko.

yes.....
we totally would have dominated porty, la, and denver with ak's 1 block and 1 steal. He's definitely the missing piece...
Folks, the sooner you come to grips with the term "REBUILDING" the better off you'll be.

As i pointed out a few weeks ago, its painfully obvious AK was the team's best defender, passer and facilitator of this offense. The last part would really help this young team come along. Guarantee Corbin would love to have him. Rebuilding doesn't mean you have to go 12-44. Hayward needs to play the 2; they need a real 3. I like Howard's quickness but he gets hurt more often than AK and he gets shots off before he gets his warmup off.

Did you even read the beginning post?
I said the Jazz would be better, and probably closer in those games.
He's not the answer to everything at all, but he can definitely help these guys.
Years and years of playoff experience with some of the best players that have ever lived.

Agreed here.
The Jazz have probably never seen a defender quite like Kirilenko, outside of maybe Mark Eaton, Bryon Russell, or Shandon Anderson.
They need his defensive prowess to remind Corbin of how the sloan system worked at that position.
i love Ak and i would be happy to see him again in the team but i dont think he is missing piece or something, we need to get rid of the veterans we already have instead of adding more.
It was a choice between howard and AK and they signed howard which i would take AK 10 times over Howard but now the fact is we are not gonna resign him. I am sure KOC is thinking about new trade scenarios and adding some players but AK isnt one of them.
We are rebuilding, and lets go younger, not balance the team with elders just not to call ourselves the youngest team in the league. Also there is a question i have been asking myself, how bad is it to be the worst record this year? is it worse than being an average team and not making the playoffs? i dont think so.
We will have a good chance of getting a lottery pick. Well we dont need to be overloaded with top 3 picks of the last 3 yrs but still asset is an asset, the better asset is always the better advantage. So i wouldnt be against going young and tanking the season. Worst case we can get a top 3 pick and make a package with one of the good players we already have and get an elite player instead of two good young players.
In NBA there is always an option to contend, getting 3 superstars together like miami or boston if you are a big franchise, getting 5 really good players together like Detroit, surrounding 2 superstars with good pieces like lakers, tanking the season, getting the lottery pick and surrounding the top pick with other players, like durant, derrick rose, dwight howard, but only option not to contend is being an average team between 15-20 for consequtive years. We were maybe slightly better than that but we were something like this for the past years. Now the most not logical thing to do is trying to be an average team, winning a few tough games at home to lure a few more fans.

The problem is not being closer or slightly better, we should be much better in a few years, thats why we should set the right core. I was still hoping to see AK for a few more years, but we signed Howard and thats not gonna happen anymore. Just we have to forget AK and make right moves for future

Yeah, all 30 teams are wrong and you're right. He's a stud of epic proportions. Listen, no one wants his *** because he's a lazy, selfish, prima donna who's always hurt or always playing half-heartedly. Get over it. His ship sailed years ago.
Man, AK worshippers are hilarious. Some of you are living in the past. Why not bring back S&M I am sure they could dominate like the good old days. Sorry but time moves on. You guys are remembering the AK before he signed the MAX contract. He is no longer a very good player. Never was he as good as you guys though he was. It is time to rebuild a new young team and not just put band-aids on old veterans so we can compete for the 8th seed. Please stop the AK threads. He is gone and he is never coming back.

This team sucks we don't need AK to help the Jazz suck just a little bit less. AK isn't that piece that puts this team into the playoffs. He is the guy that puts us later in the lottery. So what is the point?

Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I felt like you were calling him a missing piece or something... I mean, just by reading the title and all...
The Jazz are missing a piece on defense, and that piece is Andrei Kirilenko.
Folks, the sooner we understand what REBUILDING means, the better off you'll be. Paying good money out for someone to suck time away from young players, is not the point of this season. In fact, I cannot think of a worse player for our young players to learn from. Even Phil Johnson talked about how AK turned it into cruise control once he "got his raise, regardless."
