There have been murmurs that Utah forward Andrei Kirilenko could be made an offer by Russia's CSKA in Moscow, but his agent has denied rumors, according to Deseret News.

"There's no question that they would love to have him," agent Marc Fleisher said of CSKA. "But to my knowledge, they haven't made any efforts this summer ? at least through me ? to get him, so I don't take it (the rumor) very seriously."

Kirilenko is under contract through 2011, which means he has three seasons left on the deal.

"As long as a player is under contract with an NBA team, he can't sign a contract to play in Europe (and vice-versa)," Fleisher said, adding that the rule doesn't prohibit contract buyouts.
