I was thinking the same thing ... if he plays like he did for Minny before he started getting hurt. Last year, he never got healthy and in the games I saw him he was not even a shadow of his old self.
This is the ironic thing. The debate was always about whether or not he was mentally weak. The defense was always that it was Jerry's fault or some other extenuating circumstance that cause other people's actions to force Kirilenko to not be able to live up to his potential but not that he just wasn't mentally strong enough to work through adversity. Here now he has not liked Jason Kidd. Now he's having troubles with his current team and new coach. Somehow we forgotten about the original debate and failed to recognize that this is a continuing pattern.

He played well for Adelman, a very good coach on the same level with Jerry; Kidd, I don't think anyone in NJ liked him -- plus AK was always hurt, when I saw him play it look like he was moving at half-speed. This year I think he has just fallen out of the rotation in favor of younger guys.
I think he would be an improvement over Jeremy and be a guy off the bench like Ingles at the 4, who knows how to play and provides a veteran influence. Novak seems worthless except for being able to shoot the three. I guess it remains to be seen if AK is totally washed up or not because he hasn't been able to stay healthy for a long time.
However, I'm looking on the positive side and if I was DL, I'm not sure if I would do it.

Bah, do it if only for the reason that Jeremy might get some burn in NJ. Don't the Kirilenko's love it in Salt Lake? Honestly adding Kiri on the bench isn't going to hurt anything and it may be useful in helping said bench develop, because they are kind of the suck right now.

Guys, Marc Stein is a reputable source.
He's coming. I can feel it in my bosom.

I think this would basically be KOC doing a favor for a friend in order to gain some political capital. Plus it will help Evans' career to get some burn somewhere. DWill also likes him. Empathy move after the DWill trade hasn't played well for the Nets.
Jazz would need another asset though, or maybe it fits into another trade they are discussing.

Just got a text from Masha. She wants me to go over to the house and make sure it's tidy. And she gave me a list of what the kids want from Santa. Told me to put it on the Kirilenkos' account.

So some of you want to see how well AK would perform in this "pass first" offense? How quickly we forget. Remember when Sloan put in some offensive plays specifically for AK, because AK was whinning about "touches?" It took about 6 games for that experiment to end because Sloan got tired of forfeiting those possessions to the opposing team. And do we remember the number of times AK was unguarded at the 3 because our opponent hoped he would shoot it? I shudder to think of what our offense would look like with AK on the floor at the same time as Trey. No.
