The jazz are like a .650 - .700 team when Kirilenko plays, and a .250 team when he doesn't. To me that is a bigger impact in the season than shutting down 2 guards or rebounding. Kirilenkos defense is planned ahead by the coaches of the other teams. How many players can you say that about? Kirilenko is also the 4th player in NBA history to average at least 15/8/4/3 in a season.

1) You're preaching to the choir. I know how good Andrei is.
2) I wish we could've kept Raja too.
But since he left for Phoenix within a couple hours of the time he was permitted to, we can assume that was a done deal long before other teams should've actually been talking to him. Steve called, and it was over with.
3) Bowen's not a stat-packer like Kirilenko, but he's tougher all-around. I'd be hard-pressed to choose one over the other.
