Ok, I know this is the kind of tripe you'd normally expect from Dutchjazzer or ante_tomic_gasol_stopper but I just read this in the 2nd paragraph of this article https://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsjazznotes/51531990-62/think-players-draft-done.html.csp

Core of the team moving forward; Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors: Yeah. What I think is, again, we're going to have to put it all back together again going into next season. Devin Harris is, to me, a very good point guard. And I think Raja would say this to you: He probably didn't have the kind of season he wanted to have. Defensively, he's done a good job. Hopefully he'll bounce back next year with that, as far as that goes. The only guy that's significant that plays that we don't have back next year is Andrei. We've got a couple draft picks, and I think it's a matter of evaluating in the offseason. It's their responsibility, too, as players to get better. Look, Al's [26]. He's coming into the prime of his career hopefully. He needs to get better. We need to do a better job managing. I need to do a better job, Ty needs to do a better job. The Miller family has given us everything we've asked for. So, it's our responsibility and it's right on us. It starts with me and it works all the way down to the coaches, to the players, to the people trying to keep them healthy, everybody. Everybody's involved with this and everybody's got to do it and we'll be judged accordingly. Our report card is public.

Of course he could just mean "not under contract"... but interesting none the less, no?
 
Hmm so there is. Whoops


Andrei Kirilenko returning to the team next season: You'd like to think it. He's got an opportunity to test the free agent market, and there's nothing we can do about it. He's filled his contract. We've fulfilled our side of it. We would like him back, sure, absolutely; that's a conversation we'll have. He'll look at it. Because he's got other options, because he's a foreign player. … He likes it here. That's what he's told us. The only thing I can go — Andrei said he'd like to be back, he said he likes it here. That's the only thing; I take a man at his word. And that's what I'm taking from him.
 
Slow down everyone, there's a part two to this interview. If you haven't read THAT then you don't know what you're talking about, clearly.
 
I'm confused and I'm not reading anything further until I find Part 0 (nulla) so I can find out what he said before he said this.
