Three NBA All-Star Appearances and leading the Hawks to a 60 win season, and the playoffs every year...yup his career really took a nose dive after Utah.

Here's a top-5/100-game guy that would cost the Jazz nothing:

Why would he resign? We are not giving him the most money, and we are unlikely to guarantee him the starting role, (even with Favors gone, Lyles is likely to surpass Millsap as he ages). So again why would you assume he would re-sign? If he leaves you trade Favors for nothing.

Did you even see the Hawks Spurs game last week? Lyles won't be surpassing Millsap anytime soon. We'd give him the same money we would have paid Favors and it would be money well spent as Millsap is the perfect compliment to Gobert. I think he'd be happy with that to play for a Jazz team that should be a deep playoff team. As I said Faves has an extra year (one year that will most likely be cut in half by injuries). Did you know that Favors had the fourth highest out with injuries rate among power forwards https://www.slcdunk.com/nba-free-ag...errick-favors-injury-contract-extension-worry. But that article was written back in November and he might be second or third highest by now. Life is a gamble and a trade for Favors involving Millsap and a first rounder would certainly be one worth making IMO.

Fairly solid analysis there. I wonder if Atlanta would be interested favors... not exactly a great fit next to Howard. There is always a three team deal.

I wonder what kind of deal Millsap gets in FA... could see 4/100... not sure I'm in at that price. If it's is the 4/120-150 I know I'd be out.
 
Having Hill, Millsap, and Hayward on the FA market at the same time would suck camel balls. But I can't help listening to the Millsap talk. He was my favorite jazzman post-StockMalone. So skilled.

I don't think ATL has anywhere close to the assets to make it happen.. But I think they'd be quite interested because he could function as a pillar of the team whilst they overhaul the roster and also cuz he's so cheap there's obvious upside...

He and Dwight are 2 of the best players to come from Georgia too. No doubt the hometown kid angle would be played to death.

I actually suspect that ATL might be one of the last destinations in the NBA Favors wants to go to..

Negged for the "mild" part... clearly major damage done.

He had tried about 30 three-pointers over five seasons before this game. Since then he's launched more than 800, and hit nearly 300 of them.

I really like Millsap and think his struggles offensively stem from lack of ball-handlers in ATL. Other than Schroeder, there is no-one that can really handle the ball so he may return to his best days alongside Hill and Hayward but I also wonder how much of his defensive improvements is on Budenholzer. I am not worried, though, having Gobert helps a lot.

Millsap would be so much better offensively than Diaw and Favors without the possibility of sacrificing defense that I could do it if the price is Burks or Exum and a late first rounder (Is it too high?). I wonder if he would take a discount if we are close to contending with him. He is getting older as well so it could be possible.

I think we should wait a bit to see if they are willing to lower the price. Get Fave healthy playing off the bench and see if we can retain Millsap for cheap at the end of the season.
