Show Would a trade do dothe dothe dothe the Jazz good Danny Sudbury Sports Editor Despite the Jazz making it deep into the playoffs this year many people have on their talk of trades tongues In such conversations many people bring up the name Andre Kirilenko Andre is a max player makes the maximum salary allowed that will make more than 63 million over the final four years ending with the 2011 2010 season Kirilenko is not averaging in double figures in anything and unloading such a player to another team can be difficult and may cost a young prospect such as Paul Milsap l or a future first round draft pick or two And with an interview given in Russia Andre talked about his dissatisfaction with the team He said that Coach Sloan wont won't run plays for him and that Williams passes up opportunities to involve other teammates to fulfill his scoring quota However that was a month ago and Andres Andre's manager Marc Fleisher said that Andre has not mentioned to him any talk of relocating J Vice President of Basketball Operations Kevin OConnor O'Connor also has not received any requests or thoughts from Kirilenko on ona ona ona a trade Both Oconnor O'connor and Fleisher dont don't think much of words printed on April 27 on the Russian Web site Sport They see a disheartened Kirilenko who livened up after the article was released to play better betterin in game 3 against Houston Kirilenko struggled this season His points per game dropped from to 83 from the 06 05 season to this one Andres Andre's Trade Continued on page 6 Beneficial Trade Continued from page 1 L lack of scoring can partly be credited to a healthy Carlos Boozer who was out on an injury for most of the 2007 2006 season and an emerging Deron Williams who has become an offensive threat Where the Jazz are weak and need to gaii gain some headway is in the two guard position Derrick Fisher is a l valuable asset and brings reliable experience to the team However he heis heis heis is undersized and there is some trouble guarding the premier guards like Kobe Bryant Tracy McGrady and Lebron James The Jazz lack any consistent scoring from any of their available two guards like Fisher and Gordon The emergence of Ronnie Brewer may prove valuable to the Jazz but he still has got a lot of work to do Kobe Bryant has just requested a release from the Lakers and the prospect of him playing for Utah sounds interesting Kobe would be a hard fit into Sloans Sloan's system of team basketball |
