#9 + Millsap for Love + #23

[Deron Williams]

Love is a better player than Millsap. In fact, Love's PER was on par with Boozer's this past season. He's a much better rebounder (rebound % of ~21% vs. 14%) than Millsap and, as has been mentioned, is also a superior passer. In addition, he'd be cheaper for the next two years and more likely to take a substantial forward as he's only 21.

PER is merely a statistical measure and doesn't factor in defense all that much.

No way to that trade. Love is good, but I would take Millsap's hustle and heart over Love anyday. Even if our number 9 pick was not included, I would still say no,

 

[gregbroncs]

No because of the picks. If it was straight up I would really have to consider it though.

I would probably say no to trade also. Love and Millsap seem equal caliber. Love does some things better. Millsap has better things he does. So Jazz would give the #9 for #23. No way . Keep Millsap and pick. Would not rule out trading Millsap for something else though. Deron is the only untouchable player on team right now. Everyone else is expendable for the right deal.

Yeah, using Millsap for the #2 or #3 seems more along the lines of being better for our franchise. It's better in the sense that quantity is only good when you're rebuilding and missing pieces, not just one piece, potentially.
