Please tell me the Jazz turn AK's expiring into SOMETHING (preferably a 2 or 3 that can make an open jumpshot)

They may have no choice. The Jazz have to show Deron Williams they can be a championship contender or they're in the same boat that Denver was this year and Toronto and Cleveland were last season. No one wants that. Of course, history shows that trying to build a contender at the trade deadline usually backfires. Kirilenko is their best trade chip ... but he also contributes to the team in ways that don't always show in the box score. GM Kevin O'Connor has been reluctant to part with him in the past. However, his hand may be forced a bit by the recent turmoil.
I just thought it was interesting. So I just wonder what kind of offers he is getting or trying to get?
Maybe a trade for G. Wallace? T. Murphy? A Jamison? S. Jackson? B. Diaw? Rip & Prince? Theres not a whole lot to be excited about unless he really pulls off a 2 for 1, to get us some help for the bench. Maybe Rip an Prince, Wallace an Diaw, Diaw an Jackson, Jackson an Wallace? If we just gave up Ak for anyone of those 2 combos of players. I'd be a happier Jazzfan!
