Not bad, although it create some defensive problems on the wing and offensive problems in the frontcourt. I wouldn't be upset at a move like this.
Sign-and-Trade Deals for Millsap (should be an off-season priority) -- ideas and rumors
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date
they may be smarter to just resign Hickson (who can also guard centers) & keep Wes to strengthen their depth.
btw - they did just trade for Thomas Robinson too

I like the Wes Mathews/Portland idea, and not much else.
DeRozan AND Amir?? HAHAHA....
Maybe for Big Baby, Okafor, JRich, Wison Chandler, Asik (if they get D12), OR... Millsap/Burks for Ryan Anderson/Vasquez

What about Millsap for Granger? I know Indiana is trying to cut some salary, but does the salary still just have to match 75% or has it changed? That would give Millsap around 10M and the Jazz get Granger who I think is a free agent after this year. Not to mention someone besides Williams at the 3. The Jazz have to spend money somehow.

I could see a deal with Granger, but I think a third team would likely have to get involved.
I think the Knicks should be willing to take Millsap. Amare needs his minutes limited and Bargnani is better coming off the bench. The Knicks rolled with Kenyon Martin late last season.

There was some vitriol spewed by his agents when the Portland offer was tendered. They felt disrespected and urged the Jazz not to match. I think had Paul had experienced agents instead of his uncle and attorney friend, they could have told him that's the way the NBA works, Instead, he took it as a personal affront that the Jazz didn't step up with a contract on Day 1 but let him shop around. I think he did quit on the team, but I really don't hold that against him. Corbin's reliance on the inside game of Jefferson and the chucking of Foye made the remaining players superfluous.
How about Milwaukee for Illyasova ??

Jazz were correct in predicting a bad summer for FA. Even the Market for undersized, never all-star, doesn't shoot the 3pts, but demands to start pfs is drying up.
Who could have seen this coming?
====================================
I don't see Houston being interested. They are going to be Dwight (or Askik) and 4 3pt shooters. Milsap doesn't fit.
Portland was looking big not small. Splitter and Zaza were early rumours.
Atlanta wants to move Horford to the pf, so acquiring another pf doesn't help, but maybe because Milsap had some good games against them.
Milwaukee--has a bunch of young pfs and might be in the midst of tanking.

AS for sign and trades, I say why? Just keep cap space until the deadline. I don't look at it as a failure to get "something" for Paul or Al. Lindsey/KOC got exactly what they wanted...cap space to offer when teams desperately want to avoid the luxury tax. Now is not the time to use it up, unless a great starter could be had. And I don't see that happening via a S&T.
What if the Bucks offer Henson and Illyasova for Millsap and Burks?
Bucks are losing Redick and Ellis.

Keep an eye on the Warriors. They want to acquire a free agent via sign-and-trade and may soon coming calling about Millsap.
The Warriors are going after Howard (long shot). They are asking about Josh Smith, but are getting rebuffed since they don't have cap space and would need to work a sign-and-trade. The Warriors like Millsap, but I'm not sure how far out of their way they'd go for him, or what the Jazz would get back in a deal....
Maybe Brandon Rush?

They will most definitely want to be sending out more salary, that's why Lee is getting shopped. They are a tax payer as of now and you don't want be a tax payer from here on out.

Jazz could help out here by taking back salary and Harrison Barnes or Klay Thompson. Would want Bogut for filler. I want no part of Lee or his contract.

This is exactly how the Jazz should use their salary cap space. Take on an ugly number (Bogut) a young potential star (Barnes or Thompson) and offer a team the flexibility to make a move for themselves. If a pick has to be added, make it after 2014 and protect it for a couple of years. Adding a kid like Barnes (who is the player that I'd target in this deal) would be well worth the effort. One year of Bogut as a defensive big is a small price to pay to facilitate that.
Agree on the fact that they should back out if Lee's contract gets added to the deal. Avoid any long-term contracts and focus on the young guys.
