This guy fell off the face of the Earth. Lets see if he can come back. Seems like a lot of money for him. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Minnesota is finalizing a two-year, $20 million contract with free agent forward Andrei Kirilenko, league sources tell Y!

If he's still up to snuff and stays healthy, signing AK47 for $20 million is smarter than giving Batum $46 million.
Looks like Adelman has too much pull in Minnesota ... Guy is throwing out money like it is free. First offering Batum nearly $50,000,000 for 4 years and now AK-47 $20,000,000 with year two being a players option. Dumping a #4 pick from 2 years ago and offering the #2 pick from last year to anyone that will listen.
Wow a defensive player on a Adelmans team. I guess he will not see a lot of playing time:grin: I always liked his game, I just didn't like his contract with the Jazz.
Have you ever seen Wes Johnson play? As the Wolves are one of my favorite teams, I have seen quite a few Minny games these past few seasons. And Wes Johnson shouldn't have been picked anywhere near #4. Yes, he has all the tools. Good shooter, solid defender, great athlete. But the thing is: He practically never drives to the basket. All he does is jack up threes and long twos. I really liked him initially, but it seems as if he simply isn't as good as I thought he would be.
