^^^ Yeah ... I know it hurts. It sucks to 'discover' a player and then have to trade him/let him go.
To win, we have to properly valuate players.

Two years ago I would have said that Millsap is the best undersized PF in the league by a long shot. As of today, he might be the best but not by much. Glen Davis and Brandon Bass are either getting better or Millsap is getting worse.
PKM, aka Tiny Hands................
Patrick Patterson is now showing backup PF potential: Millsap is the best of the lot. Big Baby, Bass, Patterson.... notice that all of them are starters but ought to be bench players. That is why their teams are stuck in mediocrity.
WAY too early to talk about trading Sap.
Way too early to talk about trading Sap? More like it is way to late. Should have traded him at the draft to move up and get Lillard. I still believe that a deal with Sacrament could have and should have been done. Sacramento didn't need a PG... what they needed was to surround Cousins with a true pro who is a starter at PF... thats Sap. With Sap they then have 2 consummate pro's in Sap and CHuck Hayes. The offer would have been simple: Millsap and GSW pick for #5 plus we take on the final year of Garcia. I don't see how they don't do that deal... they get Millsap at his prime from 27-33 on a reasonable contract, they get a lottery pick and all they give up on is another lottery pick that won't be good because they are Sacramento and it was a bad draft. Also, T Robinson will take time to develop and has Derrick Williams written all over him....Sacramento needed maturity and a pick...
Too soon to trade Sap? With Sap slumping it may be too Late!
