Millsap got signed to a second 10-day

Because there are other D-League dudes to try out on 10-day contracts. Or maybe a trade that needs us to have a roster spot open.

then we cut Williams. Millsap is a keeper (at least this year) and I have no problem doing the 2 year team option... I'd require it on all the minimum guys I signed. No reason not to.

Had we done that with Wes Matthews we could have had him for another couple years.

Those aren't very good reasons

You don't pass on someone you like just for the sake of trying out more D league dudes.

Also, in a trade, you can just wave somebody making the minimum if you need to.

Williams is a 10 day contract. I think today is his last day.

I wouldn't sign Millsap for the year. I like him, but he isn't that good or something I feel we need to keep. I'd rather just try some of these other D-League names out, see what's out there.

If there is someone better out there they'd have to find him quickly. It's not like we have enough healthy players that we could just let Millsap go and try to find someone later.

We also have another 10-day player in Williams. I'd keep Millsap. We need a SG; it's not as if the Jazz are waiting for Burks to return. And, Hood's issues may be recurring. Use Williams' spot as the 10-day revolver. At least do that up to the trading deadline in case of a 2-for-1 trade.

I would sign him for the year easily. The reasons are that we are going to have a D-leaguer on the bench so he's not getting int he way of anyone being signed to "round out our team." But also because he plays tenacious-d (that's for Jack Black). Having that D is good for games but also for our guys to practice against and witness. Very reasonable price for that level of service.
 
Sorry to dig up an old topic (I'm not on here much), but I've had the unique opportunity to see Milsap play really close, a whole lot. I have season tickets to the Bakersfield Jam. It is a unique experience because they only have two rows of seats, so everbody is right next to the court.
Out of all the D-League guys I've seen, Milsap has seemed the most NBA ready. He's one of the only D-Leaguers capable of NBA defense and consistently makes smart plays. I think we should sign him up for the rest of the season, as I don't think there is anybody much better, at least from the D-League.
As a side note, my favorite D-Leaguer right now is Stockton's kid. The way he sees the court and plays the pick and roll is awesome, reminds me of his Dad. He has a nice shot too. He is not capable of playing defense though, like worse than Jimmer.
Another side note, nobody in Bako is surprised at Rudy's development. We saw this all last year.
 
Millsap is reminding me more and more of Ronnie Brewer - the guy on defense who does a lot of running around with wildly varying results. As I watch him on D I find myself saying "great play Sap" followed by "WTF did he do that for" - often on consecutive defensive sets.

And on O he's even taken a liking to RB's old base line cut. Yeah, probably the world's most underwhelming comparison. But what do you want for a 27 year old life long D-Leaguer?

Is Ronnie still in the league?
