One thing people haven't mentioned is Bogut is a great passer. I'd do the trade just so I won't have the here the "AJ is a black hole" talk 24/7
As much as I like Bogut, he has an even more horrid injury history then Boozer and AK47 does, also all I've heard on this board is that we need to trade Al to free up time for the young bigs. It does free up time this year, but what about next year and the year after that.
Some one suggested we make him take a reduced roll on the bench, that's not an option for a player making 13 and 14 million the next two years. If we take on his contract does that mean we let Millsap walk. What happens to Favors and Kanter? It would hurt there morale. This is not a very good trade at all.
Answer to all your questions:
One, the rotation for this year is Millsap, Kanter, Favors.
Two, trade Millsap and one or both of our first round picks for a top 3 pick or an All-Star.
Three, that makes a lineup of Bogut, Kanter, Favors. Favors and Bogut start next year. Favors and Kanter start the next. Then Bogut's contract expires, he signs a backup deal (similar to Millsap's). The 4-5 is locked up for the next 3-8 years. With a three man rotation, that is 30+ mins a night for each one.
No morale hurt, Millsap can think he is the man on some other team and get eaten alive in reality.
