I think keeping Millsap is better because he fits the Jazz offense better than Jefferson and he is at a much cheaper value.
 
I would keep the length and trade Millsap. Favors, AJ and Kanter makes a damn big front line, something we have not had in a very long time. Now if we could keep Sap and bring Sap and Kanter off the bench to spell off AJ and Favors, well there ya go.
 
i opened such thread long time, anyway i would trade millsap for sure. At least he can be back up without making any problems, after deron gone this year, Jefferson was all frustrated and giving negative energy around.

Like you, I'd rather keep Jefferson if we HAD to trade one of the two. However, as I mentioned in another thread, you don't bring in guys like Favors and Kanter to make them bench players, and Jefferson IMO is not a guy you bring off the bench. So who's our starting SF in a frontline of Kanter, Jefferson and Favors?
 
It seems unbelievable that the Jazz would pay 40-45 million for 5 big men. Especially if teh CBA introduces a hard cap of 50 Million.

But just for fun I say keep them all. Why get smaller to match up against other teams? Lets run Hayward at pg and put Kanter, Favors, Milsap and Al out there. Who would be able to gaurd that line-up? :)
 
I think Millsap's trade value is at an all time high. If you traded for Millsap, your getting a 17 and 8 starter.

On the other hand, if you don't trade him, you keep a 17 and 8 starter and longest tenured player that also isn't very old at all and has improved every single year. It's 2 bad he 2 shortor lolbrb

And at about half the cost. Tough call.

Would the Pistons consider him for the # 8 pick? Would we?
 
I have to go with the neither option at this point. No reason to trade either Jefferson or Millsap until we see what we have in Kanter. And if he and Favors can work well together. If it looks like Favors and Kanter can be the front court of the future I think you trade the one that brings back the best package of players and picks.
 
^^Agreed. Easy answer for some if Al ... but he's a big time producer. For others it's Sap, but we get mega production for the $ ..

How to decide without seeing what we got???
 
If Kanter is both good and ready to play right away, I'd absolutely trade nobody. Al/Sap/Favors/Kanter would be Murderers Row. Just way too big a frontcourt advantage not to juice for all its worth.
 
Can you imagine a front line of Sap, Jeff, Fave, and Kanter(assuming he lives up to the hype). Now that is a front line to fear.
