Kirilenko Trade on Immediate Horizon

[outerspacefella]

...... I can't differentiate between what may be sarcasm and what may be plain stupidity.

"No GM would take Kirilenko. That's a ludicrous thought. He will play in a Jazz uni at least until february trade deadline next season.. and even at that time it will be darn hard to trade him."

-Two Words, Zach Randolph.

You can say all you want against Zach Randolph's case, and probably you're right... but dude's averaging 20+/10+ since 2006-07 season; he's averaging 20.3/10.7/3.3 this season so far... Kirilenko is 12.2/4.5/3.5...

The problem with trading an expiring Kirilenko is that we are going to get a player a team is unhappy with, and most likely a long term contract, so it's not very helpful. With that said, if we can get an extension for AK,then fine, I wouldn't mind giving him 5-7M a year, but no more.

Zach Randolph is the worst kind of team cancer. He has amazing stats, so it appears he would be great for any team, but he is the farthest thing from it. Great for a fantasy team, and that's it.

AK was heading in that direction, but he has righted the ship and is a great boon to this team. I want to keep him in Utah, but only if we can get him for 5-7 mil, as ming said.

I would love to keep AK if he accepted a reasonable extension. I honestly think he likes Salt Lake...maybe he's just agreed to keep his mouth shut and his eyes dry for a while, but then again, maybe him and Masha would rather stay here with their newly adopted child and fleur de lis.

Besides, Provo's rich ethnic culture is only a stone's-throw away.

I am in complete agreement about keeping AK.

I'd dish 8 mil for him, he's a better player then Paul Millsap is.

He will settle for low digits. That's for sure. Still, I think he will consider also another teams.
