Andrei Kirilenko signs with CSKA Moscow

SALT LAKE CITY (AP)—Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko(notes) has signed a 3-year contract with Russia's CSKA team that he can terminate if the NBA lockout ends.

The deal was announced on the team’s website.

Kirilenko will become an unrestricted free agent once the 2011-12 NBA campaign begins but has expressed a desire to play for the team that drafted him 24th overall in 1999.

The 30-year-old grew up in Russia but gained dual citizenship recently.

Kirilenko could've been an absolutely amazing player, his numbers at the beginning of his career suggest his awesome athletiscm, but those injuries ruined his career.

I think the fact that he's batshit insane and had the craziest, most-nonsensical gripes and complaints I have ever heard, ruined his career.

A complete headcase.

why would he sign a 3 yr contract and have an nba outclause? Does he think the lockout's gonna last til 2016?

My guess would be because he's a free agent and may not receive a contract back in the NBA
