    A recurring rumor involving the Jazz trading versatile forward Andrei Kirilenko has been popping up in Utah once again, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

    Kirilenko has three years and almost $50 million remaining on his contract with the Jazz, which makes him somewhat difficult to trade.

    With Carlos Boozer possessing the ability to opt out of his contract next summer, possibly to sign a long-term deal with the Jazz, the team could look to trim some salary to order to prepare a lucrative offer for the former Duke big man.

    Trading Kirilenko, could help them accomplish that

    I know, I know, we dont have half the resources it would take to get Kirilenko away from the Jazz, but lets say we did. Would you take a talented, versatile gaurd forward, even though we've spent the past 2-3 years heating his guts.

    If they want Luther Head we will take him then trade that loser to a losing team for their best player. $50 million dollar contract any team would want to get out of that he's like what our Juwan Howard problem used to be times 2!!!

    Haha, I wouldn't want to see him in Rockets red either, I just think it's an interesting question, would a team pick up a talented player that the fanbase (and probably the team) hates.

    Should we try to lure Scottie Pippen or Karl Malone out of retirement? I heard they can still play. Wouldn't it be awesome if Malone retired with a ring?!

    With the NBA coming down hard on Floppers in 2009, not no but hell no... he would just flop us out of the playoffs.

    The day Andrei Kirilenko becomes a Rocket is the day I stop being a Rockets fan.
