DJ_Money Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 According to today's Insider, Utah isn't having much luck in the FA market and is looking to improve through trades. Two of the players mentioned that Utah is interesting in are Shareef Abdur-Rahim and Theo Ratliff. A trade of Theo for Greg Ostertag and Andrei Kirilenko would be a wise move, I believe. Ostertag's deal expires after this season, freeing close to $8.7 mil. in cap space for next summer. Kirilenko is an enormously talented young SF. Can play inside and out. Can handle the ball, pass, shoot, rebound, and is a great shotblocker. JT/Dickau Diaw/Hansen AK/CC SAR/Hendu Nazr/Ostertag (Fill in with whatever FAs we sign.)

cyman3 Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 I like AK47 as well but i think UTAH loves him. If they're going back to REBUILDING MODE (which i think they should since the WEST is soo competitive), it doesnt make sense for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHORO44 Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 I got to agree. I don't think Kirilenko is going anywhere as Utah is going to build around him. He's pretty darn good. I really like his lenght, athleticism, and his hustle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
