Good deal for AK, he can leave whenever he wants, but has a long term deal in the event of a prolonged lockout, or not getting a contract he's happy with in the US. Also very cool of him to donate the money to charity.

[IMG]http://basketball.realgm.com/images/basketball/5.0/team_logos/ncaa/kenty_40.gif[/IMG] Christian Laettner's Villains team defeated the Big Blue All-Stars by a final score of 152-149 in overtime at Rupp Arena on Monday.
Laettner became a villain in Kentucky lore in the 1992 East regional final when he stomped on Aminu Timberlake just a few minutes before hitting a buzzer-beating jumper on a baseball pass from Grant Hill.
Laettner played up the theatrics on Monday and was ejected with two ceremonial technical fouls.
"That's just part of my personality," he said. "And I think it's something that made me good. ... You have to feed off that a little bit."
Laettner suggested UK fans were justified in their disdain. "They should be mad at me for what I did to their team," he said. "... The average everyday person loved that (UK) team."
The Villains were led by former Florida star Corey Brewer's 32 points, while Jodie Meeks had 42 points.

Like Burks, Jazz forward Derrick Favors said he hasn't paid attention to the ins-and-outs of the negotiations. "I don't know what's going on right now, so I'm just sitting around waiting," said Favors, who has actually stayed busy bulking up and working on his skills. "I don't even talk to my agent about it. I just wait for the call. That's all I want to do (play hoops)." Deseret News
