AK Returning to NBA?

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA

Several league executives believe Minnesota is pursuing free agent Andrei Kirilenko. He's no longer considering Brooklyn, sources say

Jerry Zgoda ‏@JerryZgoda

Per @WojYahooNBA earlier tweets, league sources confirm Wolves are targeting Kirilenko, perhaps at $9M a season for at least 2





Wonder if we can get anything back for him in a trade.

lol at you having no clue. AK years after Max deal ( check his 2006 stats - neither Hayward nor M.Williams will never be able to do that ) or now is huge upgrade over M.Williams or G.Hayward. Just wait for upcoming season to see how delusional you are.

With his teammate from national team Shved already signed by Wolves it seems like very likely and great fit. Wolves will be playoff team next year if Rubio is back for the start of the season.
 
I can't wait to see what Adelman can make with MIN having AK in his hands. AK is still a unique player who easily can create havoc when utilized properly. He isn't really a good fit into Jazz' faceless Wing position. In Deron-Boozer years I always was under impression Sloan trying to squeeze square peg in a round hole.
 
An AK/Hayward backcourt would definitely be better than a Marvin/Hayward backcourt, but AK needs to move on. Not sure that Minny is the right fit, but we'll see how it plays out.

lol, what a load of BS. Jazz would be so much better with AK instead of M.Williams or Hayward at SF.

False.

Marvin Williams will fit a nice role and Hayward is already a better SF than AK47 ever was. I have full confidence that Hayward in the end, will have a much better career than AK. He might never get a max deal, but I'm pretty sure everyone will regard him as a better player.

So what Hayward done so far for you to claim that he is better then All-Star, NBA All-defensive player, NBA ALL rookie team, only second player in NBA history to record multiple 5x5's, European champion/MVP, European player of the year, MVP of Euroleague, NBA leader in blocks twice and only second player in NBA history to finish one season on both top 5's in blocks and steals?
To answer - nothing even close. You sir should get of the mushrooms.
 
Hayward is certainly not better than AK was in his best year, but he might be getting there. But we dont necessarily need him to be an all star as much as fit his role nicely. Jazz need outside shooting from the wings and AK wont certainly provide that. His game is a misfit for the Jazz as currently constituted. Hayward and Burks can both cut and slash. What we need is outside shooting. Plus we are stocked at the 4, which has been AK's comfort position.

That's a great response to Thriller. I won't totally disagree about Hayward possibly having a better career than AK, but Hayward certainly isn't better than AK ever was.
