Det trades: Tayshaun Nazr
utah trades: Ak47

We get rid of nazr for a forward who can play the 3 and 4. It doesn't really solve our problem at the 5 but we get better overall game. Tayshaun is arguably a better perimeter defender and our best 1:1 defender, but as you can see one on one D doesn' mean shit against LeBron.

I would love to get Nazr out of here and Kirilinko in here, but not at the expense of Tayshaun.

Kirilenko can never stay healthy...plus personally, I think his game is overrated, last year he was a ghost offensively, and we have enough guys that can play defense on this team...

Although, it would be nice to unload Nazy's disgusting contract...

I would have loved this before his meltdown last year. AK used to seem like a young breakout star that would dominate the league on D and had a solid O, but after last year he just seems like another guy with a lot of potential that won't reach it. With Tay we know what we have and I like it.

Word is AK wants out of Utah.
