Kirilenko for Maggette?

[Sizzle]

Hmm. Rumors floating around that this trade may go down. Mags brings more scoring punch to Utah and sure would be a nice guy to have off of the bench bringing scoring punch, and, he is one of the few guys who can create his own shot. But is he a guy who can play team basketball or is he more of a one-on-one player? It'd be interesting to see what else would have to be included to make the trade work financially. The one good thing about Maggette is that his contract is almost half of AK's, and, even though it runs through 2013, it only gets as high as $10 mil per.

Doesn't address the Jazz' biggest needs of interior defense or outside shooting, but he would be a guy who can create his own shot or take a guy one-on-one if needed.

The Rumors were started by this article in the SL Trib,

Mind you, he is just throwing out ideas,

Then the Contra Costa Times followed up with this,

And you have a rumor a trade is going down, when in reality, you have one reporter giving his opinion on the other reporters hypo.
