N.Y. media update Andrei's summer of Jazz discontent

Where is Jimmy and the rest of the crew? AK seems happier and no comments? Well exept for last night, AK's play has been much better and I give credit to Andrie for just making up his mind to play.

I also give credit to Andrei for improving his overall play and attitude compared to last season. I think one of the underlying problems was just poor communication between him and the coaches, etc., and I think they've all tried to improve. Some people just don't realize all the different things Andrei does on the court to help the team win, some of which do not show up on the stat sheet. The absolute truth is that there are lots of teams that would love to have him. If the Jazz were to trade him, do you really think they could get approximately equal value without taking a huge risk? Naturally there are many risks in sports and few things are guaranteed, but my guess is it will pay off for the Jazz if they keep him.
