yeah, i'm not a big fan of that one....

Well, AK47 is whiny, mentally weak, and has a poor work ethic that rubs teammates the wrong way.  I'm not 100% sold on the trade, but it's not as lopsided as it may look (especially as Thornton is an up-and-comer).


If they want to win now, it works.  They only have a 1,2 year window with Nash.

Yeah, but for this trade to be fair AK-47 has to play below his potential and the other 2 guys have to live up to theirs.  This could end up being terribly lopsided.  Ballsy move.

The Warriors are extremely excited to introduce Andrei Kirilenko AK47. He is an extremely good defender but has been languishing in the Utah system that does not run enough to befit a man of his talents.

AK47 can expect his points to skyrocket in a running game playing along side Steve Nash. He also give us our 3rd top tier defender, so that we can boast a running team that can also play the defense that wins championships.
He is not mentally weak, he plays in a system that is not meant to suit him, by a coach that by all accounts is a hard @$$. He'll be great with the Warriors you can believe that.
As far as the trade being unfair just youtube some Al Thornton highlights. Yi is a 20 year old 7 footer who can run the floor and shoot the j

You're mentally weak. He just cares too much ;-). Don't worry he won't have to worry about a lack of playing time, his only worry will be the tough decision of which Blazer he wants to posterize.

Presumably, it will be be whichever of my guys is playing in garbage time, up by 40.

We are, however, quaking about AK47's 11 ppg and 4 rebounds.  Oh, yes, and his crying, complaining to the media, and lack of work ethic.

He complained to the media because he wanted to be traded from a system that doesn't fit him. They kept him anyway because he's a good basketball player.
He is a defensive stopper, and a slasher who is great off of steals and fast breaks. His last two seasons weren't that good because he wasn't in a comfortable environment. He's more likely a 15 point a game scorer, who will give you around 7 rebounds a game, with 4 assists, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks. He does it all.
Honestly do you not like him as a player, are you playing devil's advocate or are you taking shots at him because he's a on a team that will challenge you in the playoffs?
Honestly I would love to see him on the Celtics, once his contract is up if we could get him for around 8 mill a year once Ray is gone.
