No, I'm not comparing, as you'll note that I did mention the difference in age, the only comparison was in giving up on players we shouldn't have. Another player we gave up on who may have been worth keeping was CJ though that's questionable. Millsap certainly was a big mistake because we chose Favors over him. Also, Korver, but by the time he came back, his career was / is near its end. However, letting go of Korver when we did was also a mistake.

Don't have an Alt. Don't have time for an Alt.

Yes, because creating an account and making a post is sooooo time consuming compared to just posting from your main account.

Whatever, I don't have an Alt. Never did. Had a different username but I deleted it and started a new one. That was a long time ago.
Sure.....

The Jazz wouldn't have Exum had they kept Millsap.

Sure, as sure can be. Maybe in another life, I was really Aint. One thing that's for sure, is that Aint and his Alt, Hopper, still are on the site, but he wasn't me.

CJ freakin Miles really?. Are you forgetting how people felt about him?. Or the fact that somehow he got worse every single season (look at his fg% declining for 4-5 consecutive years)
Millasp? Sure, in hindsight he ended up being better than Favors but context matters. The NBA was different then. Size was at premium. Millsap although being pretty good, looked like he had plateau. Favors was athletic and long for his position. He had more potential. At the time my regret was not trading Millsap and getting something in return (instead of the crappy GSW picks).

Millsap was an All-Star the next season after we let him go. NBA wasn't that much different. Millsap was shooting the 3 that season, too. Favors seemed to have more potential but injuries slowed his development. CJ has had some good seasons as journeyman. No, he never realized the potential he had, but he was probably better than some of our short-term signings.

The NBA was a lot different. It was right before the 3point explosion and GSW dynasty. Per basketball reference:
- Pace was much slower: 92 possessions per 48min in 2012-2013 instead of 100 (2018-2019)
- Less 3 point attempts (per 100 possessions): 21.5 vs 32 last year.
- 3 pointer was not the main weapon: 3s accounted for 24.2% of total field goal attempts in 2012-13 vs 35.8% last year.
CJ Miles was terrible at the time. A chucker. He was lucky the 3 pointer became a thing and that he start making more shots. It only took him 10 years to become decent though.
I never said he was a bad player. But yes we hung onto him for too long. DWill/Booze/Memo/AK was a core that got us to a WCF. It was a core that was on the verge of getting us to a Finals. We just needed one or two more pieces (a big who could come off the bench and defend the rim in particular). Milly was redundant with Booze on the team and because of his low cost contract and high production other teams would have jumped at the opportunity to add him. He was a great trade chip just when we needed one because our cap was ******* from the AK deal. If we would have been creative and flipped him for the right pieces we could have been in the finals. But the front office got too attached to him.

So you're further proving the point that we should have kept Millsap
