Same height, same weight plus he's probably longer, better rebounder, better shot blocker, better defensively but worse offensively. The offensive difference can be made up though. PLus if caron becomes fast enough to keep up with SG, we could play kirilenko at small forward. If theoretically we traded jamison our starting five would be arenas, caron, kirilenko, songaila/ blatche or pech, haywood. The problem I have is his price tag. But if he's willing to do a buyout I'd look into it, but not until then. Isn't LA looking into it too not everyone whos free, just the good players who can actually fit into the princeton offense., and he’s a sf who can play the four, just like jamison.

But who are you going to give up? He'll make $13.7M this year. That means Arenas and Young or Pecherov. Want to make that trade? And he's a SF - that doesn't address our main need.

Can we at least see how the newly acquired pieces work before we make changes? Personally, I don't AK is going anywhere. The Jazz would be crazy to let him go.

IF he gets a buyout we should acquire him. We might have to give up some of our pieces to accomodate him. I hope his salary doesnt affect gils too much, gil once said he is willing to not get max if it will help the team. He doesnt want to be another kg, a star player without any championship.
