Nets Pursuing Andrei Kirilenko
The Nets are pursuing Andrei Kirilenko in free agency, according to sources.
Deron Williams has been part of the recruiting effort for Kirilenko as the pair are former teammates with the Jazz.
Kirilenko has announced in Russia that he wants to return to the NBA.
The Warriors are also interested in signing Kirilenko.
Nets Confirm Talks With Kirilenko
Billy King said the Nets have been talking with Andrei Kirilenko, who played last season for CSKA Moscow.
“He still can play,” King said of Kirilenko during a recent radio interview. “He would be a great piece to add to us, and give us more depth at the forward spot.”
The Nets only can offer Kirilenko the veteran’s minimum, while Kirilenko’s three-year pact with CSKA pays him $4 million per year.
Kirilenko’s existing deal includes an opt-out clause at the end of each season.
Warriors Interested In Andrei Kirilenko
The Warriors are interested in signing Andrei Kirilenko, according to sources.
But Kirilenko is likely to remain in Russia to continue playing for CSKA.
Kirilenko's return to the NBA had been linked to the Nets, but they can only offer approximately $1.2 million. Golden State can pay double that in the first season.
Kirilenko Considering Nets, CSKA Moscow
Andrei Kirilenko told a Russian reporter that he will probably play for the Nets or CSKA Moscow next season.
Kirilenko hasn't played in the NBA since 2010-11, which marked his final season with the Jazz.
Several NBA teams have reportedly expressed interest in Kirilenko during the ongoing free agency period.
