Andrei Kirilenko who led the Russian national side to Eurobasket title insists that the desire to leave Utah is in no way connected with Russia's triumph.
"I spoke to Utah general manager Kevin O'Conner ahead of European Championships kick-off so Russia's victory has not influenced my decision in any way," said Kirilenko to Sport Express.
"The previous season let me understand that I can't progress in Utah."
"Jerry Sloan is a super-coach who has taken the team to playoffs a number of times but we are split over basketball issues."
"I want to do what I enjoy doing and I think the emotions that I experienced with the national side are worth going back to Russia and playing there for Russian supporters."
