The weird thing is if you look at the Top 5 Player Combinations the Millsap/Favors Combination isn't as successful(or frequent) as the Jefferson/Favors combination in the top 30 or so spots. It could be possible that the Millsap & Favors combination is inflated because of the times when Corbin played Millsap at SF with Favors & Jefferson. Which is very high in the combination rankings.

Obviously we should take whatever gets the best value from either Millsap or Jefferson in a trade but its interesting to look at the combinations because I know we have all argued on this board with who we should trade this summer so Favors can start next year.

I like Al's size better, but I've come to the conclusion that he shuts down too often and doesn't rebound, box-out, defend the pick-and-roll, or get to the line often enough to ever be on a contending team. You cannot shout long jumpers down the stretch or get three rebounds in 34 minutes to contend. For this reason and others, I want Millsap on the team, and I want Al out the door ASAP.

Here we go again.


I say keep Millsap too.

Expect about 30 more of these threads, only to see both of their contracts expire.

So true.

Who is ready for another season of Favors on the bench.
