    At this point I think so, which is why I despise AK47 for continuing the whining. This is his 6th season with Sloan and he knows the score. It's too bad for Mr. Selfish the Jazz have several other good players on the team right now. Talk about making lemons out of lemonade. :rolleyes:

    Just so you think I'm not being too hard on him: If he had just popped off the one time early in the season, no big deal. But it's been several times now.

    Hence the possibility of calculated whining.

    I'd trade anyone but Yao, Mac and Battier for him.

    Problem is, they would most probably want at least one of those three (and most probably either Yao or Mac, which would make it a no-brainer to say no).

    Talk 'Unwarranted'
    Jan 23 - Jazz basketball boss Kevin O'Connor went to great lengths Monday to squelch what has become a growing perception around the NBA -- namely, that Andrei Kirilenko is on the trade block.

    "It's totally unwarranted," said O'Connor, the Jazz's basketball operations senior vice president. "So, let's put this to bed: We are not looking to trade Andrei Kirilenko. Period."

    The Jazz have received multiple trade calls from other clubs inquiring about Kirilenko over the past several days, all prompted by radio comments from Jazz owner Larry H. Miller that the forward from Russia may be "on thin ice" -- Deseret Morning News

    This is it. AK47 is officially on the market. :D
    And Jass dont have much bargaining power either because it's a force-out on AK47 part.

    Bonzi+Howard+Sura for AK47

    I was talking to a Jazz fan the other day ... not sure how much he follows the team, but he knew about this issue with AK47. Anyhow, he said he would trade Kirilenko for Maggette in a heartbeat. I thought he was nuts. His game really has declined this year though.

    If I was Utah, I'd call Seattle to inquire about any interest in moving Ray Allen.

    I rememer Utah signed Corey to the offersheet several years ago, and Clippers matched it, while let Odom walk because of character issue. :eek:
