In his prime, Kirilenko was a box score filler who helped many a fantasy owner. Most of that was done in his 10 seasons with the Utah Jazz where he averaged 12.4 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 2.8 apg, 1.4 spg, 2.0 bpg.

The deal is not official quite yet, but Philadelphia will also receive a 2020 second round draft pick, the right to swap 2018 second rounders, and cash in exchange for Brandon Davies. Kirilenko will likely be waived, paving the way for him to sign with a contender.

Kirilenko has been rumored in a number of trades, particularly with Philadelphia, but no matter where he ends up his time as a big-time fantasy asset are long over.

As with many injury-prone players, that is a big IF. Kirilenko is battling with Bogdan Bogdanovic and Alan Anderson for a starting role. At this point, Bogdanovic seems to have the edge.

Andrei Kirilenko stated in a recent interview that the Nets goal for next season is to win a championship. "We intend to seriously compete for the title," said Kirilenko. He also took a subtle jab at Jason Kidd stating: "When Kidd led the team, no one knew what to expect from him. It is clear that he had huge experience as a player, but there was no coaching experience. No one knows how we will sparkle with Lionel. Maybe it's better. Maybe worse. But we do know one thing - Hollins, unlike Kidd, has vast experience of coaching. And he perfectly represents what we need to do and how to build a team game."

Andrei Kirilenko has officially opted in to the second year of his two-year deal with Brooklyn, per source. The deal is worth $3.3 million, and Kirilenko will remain stateside for the 2014-15 season. Kirilenko averaged career-lows across the board last season with just 5.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 0.4 blocks. He also only managed to get through 45 games as he dealt with various injuries throughout the year. In terms of fantasy, Kirilenko is far too risky to be considered a viable option.

Andrei Kirilenko is likely to opt in to the second year of his player contract, according to Nets Daily. The Nets gave him a mini mid-level exception last year and he has a player option worth $3.3 million. Kirilenko is still getting offers overseas and could wind up opting out. The Nets didn't get what they bargained for with AK-47 only playing in 45 games at 19.0 minutes per outing, so hopefully it works out better in 2014-15.

Andrei Kirilenko has not ruled out playing overseas next season. Kirilenko still has a $3M player option with the Nets, so barring a trade it is up to him whether he remains in Brooklyn. During the 2011-2012 lockout-shortened season he played in his native Russia with CSKA Mowscow, but returned to the NBA the following year. In only 45 games played all season, he averaged career-lows with 5.0 points and 3.2 rebounds in 19.0 minutes of action.

Andrei Kirilenko played 20 minutes and had four points, three rebounds, one assist and four steals on 2-of-3 shooting in Tuesday's Game 2 loss. He didn't even get off the bench in Game 1, so tonight's performance was clearly an improvement. Mason Plumlee also came off the bench for four points, six rebounds, two steals and two blocks in the loss.

Andrei Kirilenko said that he was "a little bit surprised" about his DNP-CD in Game 1 on Saturday, but he supported coach Jason Kidd's rotation. "When I watched the game everybody played so well," Kirilenko said. "I didn't even see a position for me to fill-in ... Coach, I think, made the right decision. I want to play, but it's all right." Alan Anderson poached Kirilenko's playing time but Kidd said his rotations could change on a game-by-game basis, so AK may return to action in Game 2.
