Buddy, you get your balls busted for posting wiretap stories. To top it all off you didnt even post a link to the story, you post a link to the wiretap.

Consider it a warning.


I love the end of the story.

BARKLEY PICKS UTAH: According to mid-season predictions, Charles Barkley is TNT's only analyst who believes Utah will win the Western Conference finals.

I've said it a thousand times that Charles is one of my favorite people on all of tv. I so wish he would run for government, I really do.

It does bug me to see wiretaps in a post but I understand it because it may not be up there for long.

I don't think many Utah fans doubted that he wanted to stay with the Jazz.

If only we could reduce his salary...

No really ground-breaking news. I think we knew AK already got over his training camp attitude.

Heh, at the time it didn't seem like a very bad idea given that AK was quickly become something very special.

Yeah. D-Will deserves three times as much money as AK.

Give our GM, KOC, credit. He kept AK-47 despite his demands, he trade Girachuck who was fighting with his coach for Korver, and he drafted Brewer, Millsap, Almond, Williams, Miles, and Fess in just the last three drafts. KOC for GM of the year!!!!

He keeps cleaning up Sloan's messes!!!!

Im glad to keep him.

Im man enough to admit I am wrong sometimes (not often), but I will step up and remind everyone that I always thought those who wanted AK out were foolish. You dont give up on a talent as unique as Andrei's, even if it is volatile. Thats the kind of player he is, why should his seasons be any different?

What? According to the Sloan haters, Sloan is part-time GM as well, so why doesn't he get any of the credit for getting these guys?

the wiretap scared me, i thought it said "Kirilenko WANTS to be traded"

had to looks twice, heh

AK did say this past summer he was willing to renegotiate his contract to help the team....? At least I remember as much.

Is that even possible with the new CBA?

Well if both sides agree, I don't see why not. For example... Fish.

Well I'm sure management would be all over it but would AK agree to it now with his recent surge in play?

I guess that is the million dollar question... actually more like 5 million.

For some reason, I hold AK to his word. I don't think he is all about the money.

I don't think it's possible, because other players will start to go against it. AK mentioned it in his blog.

I'm fairly certain that contracts can't be renegotiated downward. Basically meaning that players aren't allowed to take a pay cut from a contract they've already agreed to, even if they want to.

What are we supposed to answer to this? I mean, Sloan has been rubbing his AK's belly, so things did change.
