AK to Russia? 

Post#1 » by gonzo » Sat Jul 26, 2008 3:55 pm

As long as we're all paranoid about Boozer and Okur...

And after watching Childress bolt to Greece...

Anybody think AK could hang it up at the end of his NBA contract and head home??
1) We all remember the meltdown
2) MVP for Russia the following summer
3) No way he ever makes this kind of money again in the NBA
4) A star versus a role player

With the CJ saga wrapped up, we really don't have much else to obsess over.
Your thoughts?

I suppose it's possible. He obviously has more fun playing in and for Russia.

AK will more than likely be dealt to a different team before his contract is up where his play will return to its previous level. AK still has what he always had, he just isn't in a position to excel because of the system he plays in.

That's true, as it is the fact that he excelled in a team full of role players at best.

Yeah, which isn't the system that he is playing in now.
