Title: Re: Grizzlies (throw away their future)/ Jazz Post by: JazzGM-old on June 11, 2006, 01:48:36 AM Jazz accept
yes it is true, kirilenko is no longer a Jazz....a wonderful career, but team interests must look to the future...two lottery picks in this upcoming draft (Including mine) was the biggest pull for me and some insurance come 2017. 2016 pick was really holding me up but it was necessary and gives me time for my other rookies to develop. Mihm and fauber were reputable enough to hold me over until my real talent comes in during the following years. I was only going to get less for kirilenko the longer i held on to him. As good as he is..he's aging, and i'm not going to be able to get this much potential for youth at any other point in his career. Any time you give up a player of this caliber you're going to lose a little...all the intangibles etc are gone...but i made out pretty well with my previous deal and so it gave me some more leeway to finally pull the trigger. Title: Re: Grizzlies (throw away their future)/ Jazz Post by: GrizzliesGM on June 11, 2006, 01:52:27 AM It should be obvious why I did this. I want to win, now! I realize I pretty much gave up my entire future but I think with Kirilenko this team can compete for a championship or at worst is one player away from it. I'm going to start kirilenko at sg with rashard lewis coming off the bench until I can trade him for a pf/C. I am really excited and only time will tell if I really screwed myself on this deal.
Title: Re: Grizzlies (throw away their future)/ Jazz Post by: JazzGM-old on June 11, 2006, 01:10:37 PM just a note that grizz noted to me...trade can't get processed until mihm is able to be traded which amounts to day 61 i believe
Title: Re: Grizzlies (throw away their future)/ Jazz Post by: KingsGM-old on June 11, 2006, 02:37:58 PM Bah, definitely don't like it from Kings perspective.
Title: Re: Grizzlies (throw away their future)/ Jazz Post by: CelticsGM on June 11, 2006, 03:29:20 PM Well, the Grizzlies intentions are pretty clear. But will it work?
Since Robertson is a lock at C it looks like either Zach or AK47 will have to move over to SF, but for neither this moves takes advantage of the strengths, namely rebounding and shotblocking (AK). AK proved he's no SF. He can play there but he gets exposed more defensively and plays too far away from the basket. Same is true for Zach, easily the best Grizzlies rebounder. Also going, and this might hurt as well, is Chris Mihm, the only backup C. Who will play the 15mpg behind Robertson? Dorsey Jesse ??? Or does anyone believe Jeff suddenly avoids foul trouble with AK on board? Now while AK47 should be an improvement over KMart i don't really expect too much improvement in offensive or defensive production for the Grizz. And with the main guys all well in their 30ies that's a steep price they paid here. Hope it's worth it, but reaching the finals would sure validate this move. 8) Title: Re: Grizzlies (throw away their future)/ Jazz Post by: NetsGM on June 11, 2006, 05:13:26 PM Quote AK proved he's no SF.

Didn't AK win both of his championships playing SF? Title: Re: Grizzlies (throw away their future)/ Jazz Post by: CelticsGM on June 11, 2006, 06:17:03 PM Quote AK proved he's no SF. He can play there but he gets exposed more defensively and plays too far away from the basket. Same is true for Zach, easily the best Grizzlies rebounder. Huh? Didn't AK win both of his championships playing SF? Oops, yeah, he did indeed. He only played PF recently, I should have checked more properly. But still, he averaged about 7.5 boards then and 3.7 turnovers. Some difference to the current stats achieved mostly at PF. It will be interesting to see how he does in a new system as thats something almost impossible to predict. But thinking again, after all the star power discussion we had earlier, this move is a good one for the Grizzlies. AK47 will give them another 3-4 solid seasons and i doubt any draft pickup will come close to his AllStar numbers in that timeframe. If they just could have held onto Mihm ... ;-) Title: Re: Grizzlies (throw away their future)/ Jazz Post by: JazzGM-old on June 11, 2006, 08:38:58 PM he's his best at SF, his rebounding improves at PF, but his other numbers go down...the last couple of years his TO's have really dropped. He's an A def at PF, A+ at SF. His scoring has been down because i've had an outside focus and don't have him as first option.
Title: Re: Grizzlies (throw away their future)/ Jazz Post by: GrizzliesGM on June 11, 2006, 10:43:32 PM I am actually going to start kirilenko at sg and bump out lewis to the 6th man spot so i feel my roster imporves a lot as lewis isnt doing much this year.
Title: Re: Grizzlies (throw away their future)/ Jazz - Waiting Day 61 Post by: NetsGM on June 15, 2006, 10:55:11 PM Jazz, make sure you cut someone.
