I didn't know the National Enquirer printed "EXTRA!! EXTRA!!" reports. What fodder!
Here's the latest on AK:
With one week of training camp now in the books, the tension seems to have subsided.
Somewhat.
Andrei Kirilenko still doesn't look like the happiest camper in the world, but the Jazz's starting small forward from Russia continues to remain mum when it comes to questions about his offseason trade request.
He did have a few things to say on the floor, though, when the Jazz on Saturday concluded their opening week of camp at Boise State University's Taco Bell Arena with open-to-the-public scrimmage.
It was the first chance all week for non-Jazz eyes to get a look at practice, and Kirilenko — who earlier this week was assigned his own part-time personal coach, special assistant/shooting guru Jeff Hornacek — impressed.
He ran the floor with apparent interest, delivered a couple nifty passes and even knocked down a 3-pointer — something that happened only 16 times in 75 attempts last season.
"He's been fine," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said when asked Saturday how Kirilenko has looked throughout the week. "He's worked hard."
Kirilenko was promised during a sit-down meeting last Monday that Sloan would try to be no more negative than he is positive with the sensitive Russian.
"We're trying to reach out," Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor said.
So far, the demanding Sloan — who essentially was told by Jazz owner Larry H. Miller to ease up a bit on the franchise's highest-paid player — seems to be sincerely attempting to do just that.
When asked Saturday if he believes all of the Kirilenko-related offseason nonsense is behind, however, the Jazz coach's response was rather non-committal.
"Well, we haven't played a game," said Sloan, whose club's first preseason outing comes Wednesday night vs. Milwaukee at EnergySolutions Arena. "Everybody waits to see what happens when you play a game.

Why would they do that?
I don't especially like him, but he is a good player who seems to get better, & tougher, as the season progressed last year. I would have thought that this year, he would only have been better.
Is this true?
