Please Kevin O'Connor! Please Gale Miller! Please Jerry Sloan! Whoever is in charge of this call, do not make it. Please do not trade Andrei Kirilenko for Boris Diaw and Quinton Ross.
Here is why:
1-Diaw is a below average, less efficient Paul Millsap. A small PF and even smaller C.
2-How does Diaw help us? He'd be playing behind Jefferson, Memo, and Millsap. Didn't we just sign another 7 footer, and have an offer on the table for Fes? (Couldn't we make an offer to Dampier if the contract with Fes falls through?)
3-We lose our most versatile player, and a Durant, Nowitski, and Carmelo stopper, and gain one more small-for-his-position big guy.
4-I've heard Boris Diaw has a reputation for having the worst personal hygiene in the league. That just doesn't fly with Sloan....I think.
5-We have to pick up Quinton Ross and pay him over a million dollars. He is worthless. Don't believe me? Look him up. Plus he is another wing that we don't need. I like the Ryan Thompson kid.
6-The $. Ya we save money this year, but next year we are paying Boris Diaw 9 million. Ya Boris Diaw. Lets keep AK,and his expiring contract and either drop his salary off the books at the end of the year, or try and sign him to an extension for less money, which would save us money in the long run v.s. Diaw's contract.
I could honestly keep going but for the sake of a quick read I'll quit. Any objections?
