Paul Millsap on the trading block

I loved Millsap when he was with us, but ... no... just NO! This ship has sailed. I wouldn't envy the team that gives Millsap his next contract.

Here are the two options if you want to trade for him:

1. Lose him for nothing in the summer?
2. Get into luxury tax and give him 40+M going into his mid-30s in order to keep him?

I honestly don't know which one is worse ...
 
Shouldn't have let milsap walk in the first place. I would have taken Paul over the last 6 years of Favors any day.
 
How much is a half-season rental of Millsap worth to yall? Could we contend this year with him in the fold? I'm sorta serious.
 
I say this, if we think we can make a serious run for the finals this year, if we took Millsap and Korver for just that run, it might be worth it. But over the long haul, I don't think so. I don't think we're ready, but next year, barring more injuries, we will be glad to have kept Favors and Burks. An elite 3-point shooter and foul shooter like Korver would be a huge asset. Because of Derrick's injury he may not be right until the end of the season, and Millsap playing with Hayward and Hill, would be like a mini-Big 3. But it's a gamble and doesn't consider the future. Next year is when the Jazz will be ready to make a run for it.
 
Favors for Millsap and one Hawks future unprotected first rounder

or Favors+Burks for Millsap+Korver+two Hawks future unprotected first rounders
 
No. I have not missed him on the team. He was okay when he was here, had some good moments but I'd rather have Favors. And I'm glad Millsap was not retained.
 
Raptors should definitely go after him. Assuming they could keep their core players that would be a really good 1-5 lineup with Millsap.
