Jazz starters won't be overworked

Boozer also broke the top 50 on Hollinger's list. Actually he is number 11.

I think Kirilenko will receive a mix of cheers and boos tonight. Hopefully he can keep working hard and have a better year than last year. If he does, we should go deep in the playoffs again.

Jimmy is confused, this article doesn't seem to mention that Hornacek was hired as a shooting coach for AK47. Now the 5-day streak is over ;-(

It says that right in the article.

Don't be surprised tonight to find out Kirilinko won't be playing. My sources are telling me a 4-way trade is being worked out with the Lakers, Pacers, and T-Wolves.

I thought is was a 4 way with the Jazz, Suns, Lakers, and Nuggets.

AK to Phoenix
Odom to Milwaukee
Marion to Lakers
Bogut to Utah


Nice trade! Thanks AK.

you forgot to mention Jordan and Bird to Utah as well. This is for real, not a joke...i have a friend whose sister works at the gas station where Larry H. Miller's movie theater ticket taker often gets his gas.

ARE YOU KIDDING.....WE WOULD GIVE UP AK FOR BOGUT? WHY....WHY WOULD WE GIVE UP A 3-4 GUY TO GET A 4-5 GUY WHEN WE ARE ALREADY FAIRLY TIGHT IN THOSE POSITIONS. THAT TRADE IS BOGUS.

Yo Insider, that's bull and you know it! If that deal happens the Jazz would have to get rid of Okur, trading for help at the 3, cause the idea of depending solely on tough but injury-prone vet (how many surgeries were performed on that knee?) Matt Harpring at the 3 during the upcoming season has to make the Jazz brass nervous, to say the least. I think the Jazz will stay put if they can't get a player in the Marion/Butler/Odom/Jefferson mold (in that order) in return for Kirilenko. Do you guys think the Jazz will once again make some noise come playoff time in the always brutal West? They have a pretty decent chance of taking it all the way if everything goes right (read: if the AK situation works out and he regains his allstar form, first and foremost) and they don't have to face the Spurs at their best.

My question is why is Deron Williams at No.55 on that fellows list? Stupid stats don't matter it's all about what happens on the floor. Chris Paul is in the top 10 and Williams is 55??? Williams outplays Paul everytime the jazz and hornets play. Williams will be an all star this year

That guys list is heavily biased to scoring points, and buy going off of scoring poitns, Paul wins out. They both are great players, but bring different aspects of the game to the table when they step n the floor, and Hollinger's list is more for Paul's talents. But I don't think there are many who will argue that D-Will outplays Paul. He's ranked higher on most fantasy rankings, which is probably a better judge of actual production than Hollinger's list.

I completely agree Miguel. Deron should be in Paul's spot.

they put williams at 65
millsap at 55

YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT HOLLINGER HAS BEEN IN LOVE WITH PAUL SINCE THE GET GO AND HAS RIDICULED THE JAZZ FOR SELECTING WILLIAMS OVER HIM SINCE DRAFT NIGHT. THROUGHOUT LAST YEAR HE COMPARED THE '05 DRAFT CLASS AND NOMATTER WHAT WILLIAMS WAS DOING AND HOW MANY GAMES PAUL MISSED, PAUL WAS STILL THE SUPERSTAR AND WILLIAMS AS THE "PERENNIAL ALL-STAR". HIS FORMULA FOR RATING THEM ISN'T LEGITIMATE AND MEANS NOTHING WHEN YOU SEE THAT HE PUT YAO MING #1. I'VE COMPARED WILLIAMS V. PAUL'S STATS FROM SEASON ONE, AND GENERALLY PAUL'S STATISTICAL ADVANTAGES ARE A RESULT OF SHOOTING MORE FREE THROWS AND AT A BETTER PERCENTAGE. D-WILL'S FG PERCENTAGE IS ON LINE AND ASSISTS ARE BETTER. TYPICAL OF HOLLINGER WHEN HE PROBABLY NEVER WATCHED THE JAZZ PLAY OUTSIDE OF THE PLAYOFFS AND DIDN'T SEE WILLIAMS PLAY OTHER THAN IN A BOX SCORE.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw AK-47 pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

get trade. I like the trade. But this mentioned a trade is just your fantasia. Bogut huh stupid Ossie.

This just in.....Adam Keefe is making a come back and to make room for him on payroll, Kirilenko just got let go. The origal hustle man is back and Kirilenko got his wish.
