NBA Playoff Beat: Fader.

Andrei Kirilenko is a poor fit for the Utah Jazz at this point.
That is a very sad little thing to note.
The other day, AK47 talked to reporters, teary eyed, pouring his heart out about playing time. The man’s got a large contract, so, he might be tough to trade.
Utah picks and rolls now. The floor isn’t as spread out as it used to be. That’s a bad thing for Kirilenko, who is used to going to the basket aggressively instead of being a stand-still jump shooter.
The Jazz are down 2-0 in their series with Houston. Perhaps it’s about time the Jazz got a 3rd scorer (preferably a 3), for Andrei. They can’t afford not to bank on AK’s talent- in any way- while his market value is still relatively high.
Let him go. Save yourself the regret (and money).
Prove the title of this post, in reference to Kirilenko, otherwise. We’ve seen what AK can do in the proper system.
Play some smooth Jazz. No Godforsaken “pop”, please.
