OK sorry he was in the coaches office, when normally he'd be in the locker room.

He may have went in to talk about the things that caused this, and then got into a more in depth discussion. Who knows.

Re: Why was Kirilenko in the meeting with Sloan & KOC
He's the longest tenured player on the team. Maybe he had a personal farewell-type discussion with Sloan. Maybe Sloan confided in him or wanted to tell him what was going on. Who knows? Stranger things have happened.

Re: Why was Kirilenko in the meeting with Sloan & KOC
I wonder if KOC had a trade for AK that Sloan wanted to veto. Sloan has talked about our guys playing hard. During the slump, I think AK was the only player that reacted correctly and played harder. Maybe...maybe not.
In '03-'04, Jerry Sloan coached the ESPN predicted "worst team of all time" to 42-40.

We've officially gone past the point of mere speculation and into the realm of fan fiction. What next? Will Millsap fight a minotaur for the hand of the fair maiden?

Re: Why was Kirilenko in the meeting with Sloan & KOC
To be fair, a post started with "I wonder" and ended with "maybe...maybe not" is clearly speculation. Nobody knows, we're all guessing really.

Word is, South Beach is ecstatic that they
won't be seeing Millsaps talents again this season...

Please, tell me more about this distinction you make between speculation and fiction.

On the contrary, Millsap will fight a fair maiden for the hand of a minotaur

Either way I'm buying front-row seats.

Re: Why was Kirilenko in the meeting with Sloan & KOC
An anonymous source told me that AK was in the coaches room because Sloan has been personally giving him backrubs after the games in an attempt to keep him from missing so many games with his bad back.
I should work for ESPN.....

I bet he was just kinda of like a peacemaker, and the longest player makes him a captain of sorts.

He just wanted to personally hand over his one free pass for the year.

No way. AK's lays don't perform with enough energy or within the system.

I think the answers were never actually revealed in Lost....
