Utah - Yes
JAzz fans - NO
Hope Favors is going to be a stud but he isn't one yet and Milsap is.

Tremendous heart and desire and skillset, but it sucks for such a good player but Sap is only 6'7" and get owned by almost every power forward in this league and especially this conference. If the Utah Jazz in the Western conference want to be in the playoffs then Paul Millsap needs to be our third big (6th man) or be traded before next season because a year of him on the bench will take his trade value down more. It really is just to bad that it comes to this but the difference in height between him and Favors is abig difference. The only way I see Millsap being able to not have his weaknesses exposed so much would be play next to a 7 footer with a defined defensive game but those are very hard to come, they are very rare.

I have 12 by my count. With 3 maybe's. My biggest problem is that out of the 12 teams only 4 of them are in the playoffs.

Who gives a crap if he can start for The Raptors.
The question is how many playoff teams would Paul Millsap start for?
I got about 11 no 2 yes 3 maybe
The next question is how many playoff teams would have interest in Paul Millsap if he suddenly became available
I got 16 yes
For people like me that bothered to watch all the games last year, the one thing we can probably agree on is Millsap played too many minutes last year. For Millsap to be the Millsap we want him to be 35mpg is too much. He is probably more like a 27mpg player.
I say you put Millsap on the bech and bring him in at about the 4 minute mark of the first period and play him at the 3. Then you slide him to the 4 for the second period and let him match up against the other teams back-up 4. Millsap wins that battle 9 times out of 10. And depending on the match up he finishes.
If he can't accept this role then trade him.

ya'll just got some knowledge dropped on you.
I've been in this neighborhood of opinion, but I've been arguing from the POV of Millsap, and therefore I've been a bit more generous to him. What you've said here makes the most sense from a team perspective.
That said, we are in rebuilding mode, so if we were to draft Biyombo, then I'd advocate for trading Jefferson (for help on the wings), and starting Millsap alongside Favors until Bismack is groomed (then revisiting this whole scenario for a second or third time)
He would start on Orlando for sure, Bass is a poor man's Millsap. He would start on Washington, Blatche is pathetic. He would start on Philly, Brand is old. He would start on Denver, Kmart sucks. He would probably start on NO too, but West would have the seniority start.

That was pretty bad counting on your part, and look how many are non playoff teams.

Yea Im just saying the Jazz should make Millsap be an Odom type player and start him at the 3 in some situations like against the Lakers.
