Did you see the article about AK in the SLT, that he is on crutches?

Looks like AK is done for the season and with the Jazz. I noticed the look of discouragement on his face during the games when he sat out in the 4th quarter. Not only are the Jazz done with AK, but I think he is done with the Jazz.

Well there is the one bright spot of the season.

 

[Okur13]

I really hope so.

 

[BENTLEY]

I can't get the link to work

 

[NotDeadYet]

This works.

Wouldn't mind him as a role player off the bench for a few years.

I cannot wait to have the 5 year embarrassment gone.

Yep I agree, along with the Jazz need defense and he's still better at that then anybody else the Jazz currently have. So I hope they could get him to be a cheaper role/bench player (bench depending on who they draft and how others progress).

 

[The Thriller]

Good.

You'd think someone with his contract could have developed an offensive move or something all these years.

Let him walk away. Good riddance.

 

[Revolution 9]

AK the glass is always half broken.

 

[sepanol]

i hope AK stays with an affordable salary, i think he is really a good player

 

[mellow]

I think the vetran minimum is about 1.2 million. Anything more is a waste.

I'm not sure the Jazz are going to make him an offer, because I think what they would be willing to offer, AK would take as an insult, and I think there are teams out there that will offer him more than the Jazz -- though I don't think it's going to be for much, probably more than we paid Bell, which turned out to be a waste of money.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

That's ashame.

That seems fair. His level of productivity compared to his current contract has been an insult to the organisation and its fans.

Nice one. +1 for you.

I'm not disagreeing with anyone here. I think he needs to move on. When he's healthy, he's a contributor, but he can't seem to stay healthy any longer, and his athleticism is rapidly declining as his injuries increase. Not only was it a mistake for the Jazz to give AK his big contract when they did, but it also has proven to have hurt AK's career, because it seems to me it took away his motivation to get better, and he stopped working. As a result, he has continually declined since getting it.

 

[Jazz4ever]

Should probably pass on him unless he'll stay super cheap (<4 million a year), his age and injuries are too much.

There is nothing in that article that strongly suggests that Fragilenko is done with the Jazz. Looks like you made your own version of the story.

However, most of us would be happy to see him gone.About time.
