Kirilenko could be the key piece to a championship run, perfect glue guy. Should start, too. (and have PP come off the bench).


Kirilenko also donated his entire salary to charity while playing with ZSKA in 11/12 and is notoriously "outside the channels" in terms of rumours (not much leaks) so itīs really not out of the question that heīs willingly forfeiting money to get to play with a contender and the "reasons" given for leaving the Wolves were not accurate at all.
And propably wanted to go to the Nets all along due to the connection with the owner (who owned Kirilenkos home club ZSKA as well), which is why a deal with the Spurs never got anywhere.

Not saying there isnīt something going on here, but itīs not a foregone conclusion imo.

Also, why does this come up here with the bad russians but not with Ray Allen leaving tons of money on the table to play for the Heat ? (or maybe it did, then i missed it)
