AK47 on the radar for this summer (post #16)

Kleiza is only half the player. That point I made was secondary to the first point. Hence the order.
They need to spend the money this summer. Depending on who they draft and who they don't like currently on the roster it could make sense to put some money down on a vet who plays lockdown defense at one of the most difficult positions to guard.

Couldn't Kleiza bridge that gap instead of shelling money out for Kirilenko?

I read a Rondo for Pau Gasol rumor yesterday. I don't know if there is any truth to it but to deal Rondo for a high lottery pick would spell whole sale rebuild for the Celtics and they don't seem ready to go there.
AK47 makes a lot of sense if Colangelo feels that either Amir and/or Ed are more valuable trade assets than valuable system pieces.
One thing we need to consider about AK is that he could be used to help JV's transition to American ball. AK is very familiar with JV, they've competed against each other in Europe. JV even has a block on AK. I'm not sure how well they know each other but I do know that it would help to have a few bodies in the room to help bridge the gap to American ball. Andrea had Jorge, who was an excellent defender in his own right and a huge help to Andrea on and off the court.

i feel that unless the plan, that i am not privy to, has changed and they really like jj. this kirlenko talk is all smoke and mirrors. i can only see him seriously being considered if the balls had already dropped and bc didnt think he was getting a sf. that said if plan changed and our pick went to boston for rondo then ak47 set loose would be awesome on the wing.
i would take rondo over anybody in the draft.

If he wants to only sign for the rest of the year then the Nuggets won't deal. I mean they pretty much relinquish their RFA rights to rent him for the rest of the season. Doesn't sound like a good deal to me.

The question now becomes: does he sign for the rest of this year or does he sign a multi-year deal?

What happens if he is not available to sign a contract after March 1st?
I know Denver no longer can sign him to the qualifying offer after March 1st but do they have the right to match any offer from another team (like Toronto)? If he signs in Denver after March 1st does he become unrestricted after the 11-12 season?

That's nuts, especially when we still have Linas for 3 years, JJ, and a possible rookie. I would only sign a big contract for a free agent if he's going to be part of the core moving forward, and I don't see him as being that guy. I'd rather invest my money on a PG.
I'd also think that Kirilenko would be harder to move as he gets older. So if we did splurge on him, he'd be a tough asset to trade. Unlike going after someone like Chandler (unlikely now since Gallinari is injured), or Batum.

He would be a fine 6th man though. If they bring him in it could spell the end of JJ in Toronto.
