Golden State has interest in AK

If AK went to the Warriors, that would probably be bad for our pick since he'd give them more depth. That said, I don't think he'll come back to the NBA this year. Maybe not ever.
 
Will Mark Jackson still throw him alley-oops from the sidelines?
 
He already announced he's staying in Russia this season. So I predict their interest has no effect on their record.
 
Yes, I'm sure Deron would welcome him with open arms to the Nets. Please, please have Prokhorov sign him to play in Brooklyn. I'd give anything to see Deron's face if that move were announced.
 
In fact when in Turkey AK and Deron spent quite some time together this year. So not sure how much of alleged bad blood is in past already.
 
Don't underestimate the Warriors ability to tank a season like they did last year. I want them to get all the help they can get so they can keep those playoff hopes alive until there is no chance they can tank and get their pick back -again-

Given the fact that their team is only 6 deep with a bunch of scrubs after that, I don't think he would mind.
 
Golden State floats all kinds of names and rumours to the local media as a way of keeping the team name in the paper (or internet chatter). They suck, the fans are ticked off and so they make up trades, or FA signings that never happen. Its kind of sad.

Yeah, I think they've pretty much gotten over that. Deron knows the position NJ is in right now, in that they are very limited in improving. This is why I have no doubt AK will play for the Nets, if he comes back to the NBA. He'll take a contract that might be a little less than what another NBA team might offer, but then Prokorov will make up the difference 10 fold over in Russia. There's really nothing the NBA can do about it.

Kind of like Larry H. setting up auto dealerships for Karl and John?
AK can receive the proceeds from all the concrete shoes the Russian mafia uses.

Yeah, I've never really understood exactly how they were able to do that without it being considered an under-the-table deal. Thoughts?

They can invest in anything they want. Obviously the dealerships were never part of the Miller network and Larry H probably never set foot in any of them. But...I wouldn't be surprised if a few knowledgeable operations and sales managers "quit" a Miller dealership to take on a similar role in the Stockton & Malone ones.
