RealGM

have a quick question! Read the article that AK had with realgm and the year he has had in Russia. MVP there talking. He makes note that he is good friends with Coach C. I know we are stacked in the front court and Josh Howard i think needs to be re-signed but do you think Coach Corbin is someone who could get the best use out of him.. Sloan put alot of pressure on him.. If CJ is gone and trade Bell and GH moves to shooting guard with Burks would you re-sign AK-47

I'd re-sign him in a heartbeat to a full MLE contract for two years. But I might be in the minority.

He would help the team improve but there is simply no room. Unless we do a 2-1 trade like trade our starting back court bell and harris for a PG like Calderon (or maybe CJ/Harris) which would allow hayward to SG and AK-47 to SF...i just dont see it happening. I would though like to see it happen. I am more shocked a team like the Lakers have jumped on signing him. A perfect fit in my opinion!

Me too. I was certain he'd end up either in NJ, Utah or LA.

Yeah, think that the MLE is the basement for what he'll get. I think its possible he gets as much as 10m a season. I would take him here in a second if the price is right, but like HP said, that's what it comes down to.

AK is a very, very good player and he fits what the Jazz need perfectly. Yis pls.
