Saving 20M

[beyonder]

AK to Sac for Frnacisco Garcia saves 20M.
It's obvious that the Jazz can't win it all this year and there's possibility that Mikhail Prokhorov will overpay AK next year if he can't get Carmelo.
And Sacramento players aren't so bad -> Ronnie Price.

I really expect AK to be dealt to cut the Jazz luxury tax obligations, just like Maynor/Harpring were last year......

But I don't think this is the deal......

What's Sacramento's incentive? They're not going to make the playoffs, so why would they pay AK a lot of money to lose when they can pay Garcia a lot less money to lose?

I'm new in this forum, but how can you have a fire sloan signature ? omg

[beyonder]

Sac is looking to dump Garcia and Udrich (long contracts) to gain flexibility so it makes sense for them, they may get better offer though.

[QuantumMacgyver]

There will be better offers than that. The AK/Diaw rumors from earlier in the season would've been horrible value for the Jazz. If the Jazz trade AK expect to be getting a shooter in return.

Sorry for the duplicate post. I posted it under wrong section.

Speaking of Sloan, here's an attempt at an intelligent discussion about Sloan as a coach on another forum. The guy gets hammered because he doesn't agree Sloan is the greatest NBA coach ever. A lot of Jazz fans love the team, have plenty of passion but ignore reality.

Starts down in Sloan Doesn't Like Change and there's 4 or so posts that sum it up fairly well.

You keep posting a broken link.

The link isn't broken. It's been cut by RealGM.

Here it is again with www left off and no period between slcdunk and the com. Add it back in after it's pasted into the address window.

Here are the five headings where the bases of the arguments were posted. When it gets down to Passion, it talks about studies done on NBA coaches. Those are interesting. It is also interesting how fans discredit what they don't want to hear or consider, despite objective data that has been reviewed over and over.

Sloan Changed the Lineup Because of Injuries
Passion
Are the Jazz Satisfied Can Sloan Get Them to the Finals
Not Exactly

Sorry, HP not all of us are incredible like you.

[jazzfan1971]

It's not like you are paying by the letter or anything.

I'm not even sure AK will be dealt, remember when Boozer was almost certain to be dealt but we never did.I think AK plays out his contract like Booze.
