This is the chance. Kirilenko's value will never be lower. We may not have the best players to offer, but we do have contract relief for Utah, playing time help, and smart players that play well in a system.

I know I'm crazy, I can dream with a lineup of Dwight and AK upfront doing all the dirty work, paving way for Rashard to drop 25+ ppg.

What more does Utah like than some white guys right?

Andrei Kirilenko for Hedo Turky, (who starts right away and actually plays SF, unlike AK who was forced to play there all last year), an expiring Pat Garrity, and their choice of an expiring Arroyo to provide some MORE PG depth, Trevor Ariza (who expires the same time as Deron Williams' new contract kicks in and provides some athleticism and defense), an expiring Keyon Dooling, Keith Bogans, or JJ Redick, the latter two who would thrive in a set offense with low post presence.

Yes again I state I am crazy, but who'd thought Shaq would be swapped out for essentially Kwame Brown and Lamar Odom?

Kirilenko would make Orlando's frontcourt pretty legit. Hedo, Garrity, Redick actually works out. Imagine if this trade happened though. It'd be like the first all-white trade I've ever seen.

good trade for ya.ll if thy do it. i like your team a lot your my favorite east team

deanwoof

yeah it'd be nice IF it happened, but it probably wouldnt. I dont have faith in our GM. Nor would I think Utah would want Hedo and scrubs for AK.

Right now AK speeks not only about getting traded. He also says he would agree to give up the 63-million contract he has now if that would help him to move to a team that would let him play. So, if the Jazz agrees to void the contract, some sign-and-trade can be done easily.

deanwoof

if he got cut, there wouldnt be a need with a s&t. he'd be an unrestricted fa to sign with whoever he wanted to. and i dont think any sane man would walk away from 60+ mil.

If he's unrestricted, he'll be free to sign with any team that has enough cap space. It's only Utah Jazz that can sign him without looking at the cap restrictions. That's why s&t sound logical to me. (I'm not too good in the current CBA, though. Maybe, there're other way for him to sign)

He won't loose all those 63M. If he hits the fa market, he'll definitely find a team ready to take a chance on him hoping he'll recover from the last season and paying him around 8M at least. In this case, money loss won't be that bad. I prefer to say, he's ready to take a salary cut to help him move to another team. That's not an uncommon thing to do. Even Kevin Garnett amended his contract to move to the Celtics.

Make sure you don't overpay 40 million on another small forward. Oops.

Trade Lewis somehow. AK is better than him anyways.
