08:09 AM ET 04.15 | Saying, "I'm definitely not looking for the money, I think I've got enough," Andrei Kirilenko still may have played his final game with the Jazz. A publicist is asking him Thursday during locker cleanout where he wants to do interviews. "Wherever you like, I don't care," Kirilenko says agreeably. Someone asks about the just-completed season. "It's like a -- how do you call that animal with the stripes? -- zebra," Kirilenko says. "I think it's that kind of season we have this year." Kirilenko has been with the Jazz 10 years. That could end July 1 when he becomes a free agent. He might end up with the Nets, who are owned by fellow Russian Mikhail Prokhorov. He could play in Russia in case of an NBA lockout. His preference is to stay where he began as an angular, spiky-haired kid whose box scores resembled a bingo card.

AK will stay home and help get the Jazz back into the playoffs next season, if there is a next season.

What I'll be interested to see is who the Nets get from where to take the place of D Will once he bolts.

Once he gets the money he'll be angling to play for a contender.

I think it shows the importance of solid coaching & management. The Jazz/Sloan were a model franchise for 20 years ... now they aren't.

thank to this article for clarifying that he will either sign with the jazz or he will sign with a different team.

I'm equally confused about a box score resembling a bingo card and how the season was like a zebra. Either it's Friday and my brain hasn't kicked in or this article (is it truth? are they rumors?) makes no sense.

i think he is making reference to "DNP-CD" in relation to the letters in bingo.
