So let's rehash this.

His stats aren't exactly jaw dropping.

This isn't a CJ for AK swap but let's be realistic. With him and Howard gone the roster will need to be filled. So fill it with AK.

I would be ok with this depending on what other options are available. Also only if the mohawk comes back as well.

 

[Powshredder]

infact I love it. Imagine how long we would be

 

[Beantown]

So between CJ and Howard they made 6 million this year. So if you can get AK around 4-5 million and then keep Evans and Carrol.


Do it KOC.

His stats aren't exactly jaw dropping.

that's true if you're looking at just his VTB league stats, which are the stats they refer to in that link. that's largely because CSKA dominates so much in that league that AK rarely plays more than 20 minutes in those games. similar story in the russian league, although his stats are better, and in euroleague they're even more impressive.

vtb league stats: 10.8 pts, 5.8 reb, 2.0 ast, 1.2 stl, 1.3 blk, 23.9 mpg, 64% FGs, team is 15-1
russian league stats: 11.2 pts, 5.7 reb, 1.5 ast, 0.9 stl, 1.3 blk, 19.9 mpg, 58% FGs, team is 13-1
euroleague stats: 14 pts, 7.2 reb, 2.6 ast, 1.5 stl, 1.9 blk, 28.9 mpg, 61% FGs, team is 18-2

Some love for AK? Who woulda' thunk it!! You folks never cease to surprise. Sure, i'm for it, he is an unusual player, and most of that's good.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I voted no, like someone else said, I've moved on, but I suppose if he comes way cheap he can be a backup pf. Before I sign off on this I need assurances that he won't have any crying episodes.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Here's an idea sign someone who won't get injured every other week.

just cuz i'm nerdy enough to do it, i converted to per-36 numbers. tell me you wouldn't want this guy on your team with this type of production per 36 minutes:
vtb stats per 36: 16.2-8.4-3.0-1.8-1.9
rus stats per 36: 20.1-10.3-2.7-1.8-2.3
eur stats per 36: 17.5-9.0-3.3-1.9-2.4

signed, the second* biggest non-russian-born AK-lover this board has ever seen.
* = where are you, tater?

Man I think we all forget how he can fill a stat sheet. I think Hayward is becoming that way too.

"If he'd play like he used to." Right. Why don't we bring back Malone, Stockton and Eaton. Hell, even bring back Maravich if we hope they'll all play like they used to. The phrase nearly synonymous with "Kirilenko" the past three years has been "at the right price". What the hell does that mean? What's the right price for last week's Egg McMuffin? After all, it will still fill you up, right? What's the right price for a chimpanzee with an appendicitis? He'd still make a great companion. What's the right price for an opened condom?

The right price is $0.00 and the right length is 0 years. So yes, at the right price.
