Fear the Putin
Starter
Utah sends: Andrei Kirilenko
Sacramento sends : Ron Artest and Kenny Thomas
PG: Bibby
SG: Martin
SF: Garcia
PF: Kirilenko
C: Miller
There is no question that Garcia will start if...um when Artest is gone. He isnt getting any younger and we cant waste anymore of Garcia's year.
We lose arguably the best perimeter defender in the league, but gain the best paint defender in the league.
Garcia can turn out to be a Christie with an added offensive arsenal, which I can take any friggin day.
Passion, heart, the will to win.
As for Kirilenko, you guys have to realize that you have to stop judging him based on last season. Deron just came out today and said that he wasnt passing to AK off the screens because he would be the first to leave the gym.
WHAT? Well thats a great way to lead my friend.
Sloan put him into an uncomfortable role. His natural position in which he thrives in is the 4 spot, not the 3. He carried Russia on his back all the way to the European Championships and won. I mean since when has Russia been good in ball? Soviet times they were challenging, but thats it. I'm Russian and even I admit to it.
Nevertheless, we can have an All-star player if we receive AK at the 4. A thriving Garcia. Emerging Martin. We cut down the roster by one, so that is a step forward. Then we hope Petrie does something with the rest of the big men.
But, I'm sure this trade is a thumbs up for anybody who um...dislikes the K9.
