:wtf: :beli: Alright, we need an investigation, he gots to be getting paid under the table by that Russian Cuban. Is he going to come off the bench? They already have Pierce at the 3, but :whew: Nets bench is deep as fukk.

I have no doubt there's some deal under the table. Problem is the NBA has about 0.3% chance of finding what these KGB Russians are cooking :beli:

His agent should be fired. That shyt cost him millions.

That said, Flip should feel sick to his stomach that in not wanting AK back he wound up paying Corey $5 mil per.

I don't think this was about money. I'm pretty sure AK could've signed for more than the mini-mid level somewhere

Given their cap situation, Kirilenko figures to cost the Nets much more than the $3.1MM he signed for this season when you consider the luxury tax. Ken Berger of CBS Sports estimates, via Twitter, the total cost to the Nets at about $15MM, further drilling home the notion that Brooklyn is going all in on the 2013/14 season.

David Aldridge of NBA.com writes that Kirilenko wanted to play for a contender and was concerned that potential sign-and-trades with other good teams might not work out, leading to his deal with the Nets.

Despite Aldridge's explanation, Grantland's Zach Lowe tweets that the Kirilenko deal is already "drawing confused and angry whispers" from the around the league.

the money dried up and Minny wasn't gonna co-sign a S&T. That's why he's only getting $3.1. In a perfect world, Flip woulda dealt AK for an exemption so everyone eats, but that didn't happen.

deep team but J.kidd will fucc it up

Nets doing some Shady business, Stern better do whats right doc them of there 1st round picks till 2030

Too bad they have the wrong coach.

Build a stacked team with a 2 year title window and hire a new coach who has never even led so much as an AAU squad, brehs
