Why we should NOT trade Kirilenko

[NotDeadYet]

Minnesota's Kevin Love was giving Millsap/Jefferson fits, finally sending Millsap to the pie with foul problems. Kirilenko then switched from SF to PF and seemed to give Love a lot more problems both defensively and offensively.
AK may be the only guy in the NBA who can slow down both Kevin Love AND Kobe Bryant. His versatility makes him extremely valuable, IMO... Also, if Miles continues to shine AND Hayward can give us some consistant minutes going forward, AK won't be needed as much at SF. I've always thought he is a better PF than SF, especially since he's noticeably filled out his frame. 235 is a nice weight for him.

Because a move on the family is always hard.

We would miss next years fresh new hairstyle.
I believe he is bringing back the 80's big hair band look.

For srs. Mother****er is hessian to all hell.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Does anyone else think AK's current hairdo reminds them of the mom on The Partridge Family, or the Brady Bunch?
I can't remember which one... it might be the Brady Bunch mom.

I thought the 17 Million expiring and a lock-out with substantially reduced player's contracts were reason enough.

....Klinko has played Kobe and the Lakers about 40-45 times since coming into the league, right? I've only seen him slow Kobe up twice...maybe 3 times! Kobe slaps knots on his head faster than he can rub them!

...I think Klinko has quite possibly turned into the ugliest looking white guy in the NBA! He looks frighteningly like that goofy ventriloquist doll with the witches nose and elongated head! You know who I'm talking about.....someone post that picture and you'll see I'm right!

The closer AK is to the paint, the better defender he becomes. NO single player "slows down" Kobe outside the paint; takes a team effort... With his length, AK does redirect Kobe more than most guys in man-to-man D...

Dude, how did you say that with Dolan's **** in your mouth?

Impressive.
