Maybe now the "Media" can give it a rest on AK going to Phoenix. Maybe
it almost happened, but it is old news. MOVE ON!

Barkley was brave to pick the Jazz to win the WCF's but as we have seen of
late it is possible if they play like they are now. In a 7 game series they
could play with most any team.
Barkley did make a mistake though....if we do meet Detroit in the finals there is no way we are losing to them. They have been our "girls" for a while now. We own those boys--they can not even beat us on their own court. D-Will dominates Billups and AK piles up the blocks against those guys. IF we were to get to the Finals we will in all!!!

Jimmy doesn't think AK is going anywhere this season.

Kyle Korver had only 3 rebounds and 4 fouls to go along with his 27 points last
night, but he impacted the game, was in at the end, and was money when we needed
it. Sometimes scoring alone is enough, from one player. Did you ever hear of
Vinnie (microwave) Johnson?

Barkely's a smart guy! Nice to get some national recognition from someone.
I wish Kirilenko would stop stringing us all along, decide he does like playing
for the Jazz and coach Sloan, and put it to rest by saying so. His repeated
non-committal responses to whether he still wants to be traded or not keep me
worried that he does want to leave and isn't always giving his best. I
still miss the exuberant style of play Andre showed his first two years in the
NBA.

The Jazz don't need a trade they fixed the problem they had they got them a
legitimate 2 guard Korver baby Korver. He is our missing piece
Horace | 9:57 a.m. Feb. 7, 2008
Where did Barkley predict the Jazz to win the West? Can it be found online? On
one of the TNT videos? I wanna see it.
Josh | 10:03 a.m. Feb. 7, 2008
Kirilenko is a win-win situation for the Jazz. If he doesn't stay,
he's worth a lot in a trade. In the meantime, even if he isn't
content, he's playing just fine(for now, anyway).

ak needs to be traded to the cavs for someone else he is not happy in utah
bob carlisle | 10:57 a.m. Feb. 7, 2008
ak wants to be in russia, thats the whole point, he lead them to the eurobasket
championship and is a hero he is very patriotic and wants to help russia.
nothing wrong with that. i think he is just waiting to finish his contract and
will be in moscow.
Trade him... | 11:39 a.m. Feb. 7, 2008
If things stay as they are now, that is great! But realistically what are the
chances of that? Sooner or later he won't be getting the ball and will
start whining again. His value will NEVER be higher than it is now.
Don't get me wrong I love him, he is playing great, I love the move to get Jeff involved in his shooting (why did it take us this long to figure out we needed someone to help him?). Problem he is overpaid. We have a wealth of young talent that NEEDS to be tested, and re-signed with the money we are giving AK now.
If we can lock up most of our guys now that is best. Imagine how good we could become with everybody feeding off of each other for 4 years.
Otherwise it is keep AK and end up losing out on Milsap and/or Brewer and others. He is not worth it.

I'd rather trade Boozer and his amazing defensive skills than AK.
Chaz Bodily | 12:37 p.m. Feb. 7, 2008
for sure get rid of Ak47...yes he is playing ok but like everyone is saying his
trade value is as high as it will ever get...so trade him to the bucks and get
michael redd or even trade him and okur to the rockets and try to get mcgrady
just get the most out for kirelenko right now rather then get draft picks later
Diego | 1:07 p.m. Feb. 7, 2008
I doubt the Jazz could get anywhere near Michael Redd value. Besides, if the
Jazz trade AK, we needs to get defense in return. I like what we're getting
from AK, so I say stay with him.
Idoits | 1:33 p.m. Feb. 7, 2008
Why trade anyone this is a good team, you are one of like 10 teams with a chance
to win it all, what more do you want. Jazz fans whine all the time.
Rich | 1:47 p.m. Feb. 7, 2008
I don't quite understand fans that jump on or of a players band wagon based
upon a bad game, or a passing concern with a coach. This is a business that we
all love watching and rooting for. We are not going to be happy with every
aspect of the game, or the politics involved in sports. That said, get a grip
people, the team is playing it's best ball in years! If we were to lose an
AK, a Boozer, etc. that would affect the team in a harsh way. Now is Utah's
best shot at getting the coveted prize! If they keep playing and growing
together they will continue to get stronger and better, and every Jazz hater out
there will have to eat their words! It's time to back our team, and every
player on it! This coming from a longtime Jazz fan outside of the Utah borders!
Jeff | 1:59 p.m. Feb. 7, 2008
Redd or McGrady?? We don't need another SG or SF. The Jazz will be fine.
If McGrady (McChoke) came here I would never watch the Jazz again.
Don't trade AK | 1:54 p.m. Feb. 7, 2008
Who we need to trade for is Indianas Jeff Foster. If we could unload Hart and
Collins for him we would have our backup defensive center and our picture would
be complete.
B | 2:07 p.m. Feb. 7, 2008
Didn't Barkley pick us to win last year too? I swear he's got a man
crush on D Will or something. I bet he's in Charles' top 5.
Chaz | 2:03 p.m. Feb. 7, 2008
What would Redd accomplish? McGrady (a proven loser)? The team is stout. Quit
worrying. The only hole is a backup point guard. Okur is developing into a
more physical player and the game last is exactly what the Jazz need to stop
being so soft. Trades are over, give it a rest and leave the talk to real Jazz
fans. Not player fans.

If the Jazz keep going as they have the past 10 games, they could easliy go all
the way. They will just get better as they get the steam behind them. They are
the team to beat right now and the games will get tougher. I'm with
Barkley though, Jazz tend to freak near the end of the play-offs. Maybe this
year will be different, They are the hottest team right now. Hats off to them!
Media trash | 2:41 p.m. Feb. 7, 2008
Gum loses it's flavor after a while and than tastes bad. The same is with
news like this. It is like the latest news with Brad and Jen. Brad and Jen Brad
and Jen. Brad and Angelina and Jen. Who cares? We are sick of all of it and
don't care. Ban Ameican Idol and worthless news I cant tolerate!
Go Jazz and down with the repetitive 911 media!

Thank goodness! Ak is the only one a couple decent players on the team.
Trade boozer, he once again proved he make no difference.
Trade brewer: a guard who can shoot is useless, ther is no championship team that hada guard sho couldn't shoot the three.
The jazz need a bigman who can play defense.
Even the suns have finally figured out you need dominant bigman to win championships. Even if it may be too late.
Right now the jazz have acomplished nothing but win a few regular seasons games. Which will look good on sloans career stats, but otherwise means nothing.

Barkley doubter | 7:15 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
Barkley's Jazz endorsement is nice, but when he is picking Detroit over
Boston, that should tell you something. Barkley likes to talk up the underdog,
but he is not good at picking the eventual champ.
