Whatever we 'owe' Larry Miller, we've already paid him... dude has a lot of money... now, if he agree to pay the luxary tax, maybe...

AK feels that the Jazz need LHM as the owner. Who else would be dumb enough to give AK a contract like the one he has.

I remember basically 100% of people wanted the deal made at the time. Who knew he'd regress like he has. Hindsight and predicting the future are wonderful things.

Jazz fans owe Miller a lot. Nobody forces us to pay money to see the Jazz. We do it because we love the Jazz. And the Jazz would not be here without Miller.
Get well soon LHM. Go Jazz!!
Get well soon LHM. Go Jazz!!

AK's deal made complete sense at the time. I rarely, if ever, read of anyone having said it didn't make sense at the time. AK was an amazing player for those couple of years. He seems to not be able to thrive as part of a better team, which is quite regrettable.
Unfortunately, his contract is a little like Greg Ostertag's contract a few years back: an albatross that is preventing the Jazz from making the last step to a championship.
Interestingly, it shows what an amazing job the Jazz front office and coaches have done rebuilding a team that is one step away from a Championship in so little time.

I dont think AK is worth the money we pay him anymore, hes good, and i think the jazz would be stupid not to have him on the team because hes a key part of the team, after all he can fill up a stat sheet better than most players.

AK is not your traditional max player, but from basketball utility stand point (comprehensive one) he is not a bust. I would argue that he is more valuable than the following max or near max NBA players: Starbury, AI, Jason Kidd, Jemaine O'Neal, Steve Francis, Ray Allen, Mike Bibby- all the guys making more than AK; Zach Randolph, Lamar Odom, Ben Wallace, etc. So, stop complaining folks!
