Kirilenko...Would you pull the trigger if...?

[The_Critic]

Nope. Wouldn't do it.

The only thing that worries me is the comment Deron Williams made in reference to Ak's complaints last year about not getting the ball, he said something along the lines of " If you have a guy who busts his ass in practice and games and a guy who doesn't who are you going to pass the ball to? "

I assume AK was the guy who doesn't bust his ass.

The short answer is; of course.

The long answer is at the expense of how many draft picks?
If we had to deal say:
Rasho, Kapono, Moon and a pair for first rounders
for
AK47 and Kyrylo Fesenko (to make the salaries work)

If they're looking for cap relief, I'd give them Rasho, Garbo and Juan for AK, and would also give them our first-rounder (or Moon) to make it happen.

Right now, I see a diminished interest in Utah for trading AK47, and no interest at all in LAC in trading Maggette who they hope to re-sign. That's the problem here; a lot of the players whom our fans would like to acquire are not on the block at any price, at least not until the summer.

Rumor is Ben Gordon is on the block. But is he too one-dimensional? I think so.

Kirilenko plays his best close to the basket, and Bargs plays his best on the perimeter. Because of how our front court is set up, Kirilenko makes tons of sense as a starting SF. He pretty much erases all of Bargs' negatives while opening things up with his passing as well.

If you can get him without dealing any of our 'big 4' you should be laughing and jumping for joy. Pretty sure it would have to be a three way with some team getting Moon, Kapono/Hump, Dixon, and our pick with Utah getting Rasho PLUS whatever our other players can bring back via three way. Would make more sense if we could keep Rasho and give up Garbo though.

Andre Kiralenko, Jarron Collins, and Morris Almond for Rasho Nesterovic, Anthony Parker, Joey Graham, and Juan Dixon

I still feel the same way about acquiring AK47 and if you don't even have to touch the 4 top players this would be a done deal imo.

[PimpHandStrong]

How about Memo + Harpring for Chris Bosh and 8 first round picks?

[PimpHandStrong]

Not trying to be a troll, it's just that Toronto is an awful trading partner for the Jazz.

As Shaden wrote earlier, the Jazz are not looking to dump salary until, at the earliest, next season's trading deadline. Also, AK has played great this year. Much better than box scores indicate.

[raptorsfan13]

They could certainly use AP.

AP + Rasho for AK47

Thoughts?

i would even throw in a first to make that work
