<div class="quote_poster">AlleyOop Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Still, it seems JRich and Pietrus is too much without getting a sweetener in return. Maybe we could get back Ronnie Brewer or Rafael Arujo along with AK?</div> Or how about Jazz's 2007 draft pick which would be in the low 20s where they are now as sweetner? Still, I'd hesitate to give up MP considering all the good things Nelson has been saying about him. OTOH it depends on how much it will take to re-sign MP, so getting Brewer in return would make it worthwhile. The nice thing about AK-47 is he can get rebounds and can initiate a break. Something that Nelson asks of his forwards. The difficult part is that we will be taking on another big contract, so he's got to work out or he may be difficult to trade if he doesn't. If the deal was for Foyle, JRich and Zarko, then it's a done deal .
<div class="quote_poster">REREM Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Look him up.....Jax is getting 3 rbd a game and shooting 29% from 3...but still launching a LOT. Jax fired off 400+ 3 pt attempts in his season with the Hawks...well over 300 with Indy last year. I can't see him ahead of Pietrus or Barnes once the new car smell turns to the Fish we had before Some guys change .....5 teams, so far, thought he might.</div> Yeah, it didn't make sense to me why take Harrington out of the starting lineup when he was the main player to get in the deal. As for SJax, I think CR2 meant he'll be better if he can catch and shoot. His shooting has been higher. It's a valid point REREM, SJax needs to get his shooting numbers up higher. With AK-47 and AL in the front court, he will be playing an utility role and likely he or MP would have to go.
I think it's worth to gamble and get AK-47 now, even if you have to give up J-Rich. The defencive duo that AK-47 and AB could create is scary. You can get him cheep now as it was with Davis. Sure he plays like crap now, but start of the last season he was avereging 6 blocks per game, until he got injury. And it opens chance to play Harington at 3, since he is better at defending perimiter.
<div class="quote_poster">AlleyOop Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">So, what's the word on Kirilenko coming to Golden State? </div> AK has been playing better the last 2 games and has had more assists & steals. He said after the game yesterday, he's happy that he's finally getting touches, I guess all he wanted to do is get the ball, not shoot more. He was redirecting quite a few shots yesterday, so if he is traded it'd be right before the deadline....
<div class="quote_poster">REREM Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">The word in Utah is AK is addicted to on-line video games....often stays up late,forgets to eat....</div> No way, are you serious? Man, there should be some stricter clauses in those $$100 million contracts. How about no video games period? If that's true, man, that would be weird. Not eating properly is crazy enough. I don't see how these "elite" athletes are allowed to just eat whatever crap they want (usually what they were used to from highschool like mcdonalds and pizza). But staying up all-night playing video games? Odd. So what, is AK-47 his screen-name? "Oh yeah Ak-47 just pwnd you!!"
<div class="quote_poster">AlleyOop Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">So what, is AK-47 his screen-name? "Oh yeah Ak-47 just pwnd you!!"</div> More interesting what does he play.... But I doubt that he has any serious addiction to MMORPGS, somebody saw him late at PC, and rumors start.

He is kind of an idiot sometimes and does force the shots if he's the only swingman on the floor that's any decent. He can drive it some, I've seen him get assists on a good game, and he can hit some difficult shots. If Baron, Pietrus, Ellis, Jrich take more touches out of his hand to initiate something first and give him the ball back where he (Sjax) likes it, maybe that fg% will increase. It's all about picking the high% spots. I'm just saying it's worth a shot if we're going to the NBDL for help on this matter. Usually, we don't have any tall athletic small forwards because that wasn't something the franchise was after since Jamison "left".

That is like crack mixed with black tar heroin in the form of online software. OTOH, I bet my level 43 Rogue will pwn AK47's character in PvP! Just kidding, I dont' play that game. But I've seen my friends fall victim to it and they play during work lunch hours, during friday nights, saturday nights, skipping church, and passing up dates with attractive females. Awful awful awful.
