Jazz Starters: Harris, Hayward, Bell, Favors, Jefferson

Against the Lakers, I like this lineup.

But I want to see Bell play only 8 minutes in the 1st and 3rd. CJ as the scorer on the second unit (with Sap) is the right move. Halves and games should be closed out by Harris/CJ/Hayward/Sap/Al (with Favors subbing in for either depending on matchups.)

People are making too much of Millsap's comments. Nothing is wrong for him wanting to start and being disappointed he isn't. Hopefully he channels that into his performance proving he is a starting caliber player. Hopefully all the big men challenge each other and push their games to new levels.

I'm not worried that he won't be motivated or anything.. this will just add more motivation. He is going to play hard regardless. But he could request a trade if he believes that he is not getting a fair opportunity.

No, he's right. Go read @lockedonsports tweets.

All I can say is spare me, Paul Millsap. Its not like this is a super personal demotion. Or even a demotion at all. Wish he saw it differently.

He's disappointed, but is going to do what the coaches ask of him and work/play hard. I'd be a lot more worried if he didn't care at all.
 
I think it is great Milsap is mad..... KEEP IT PRIVATE. DO NOT GO TO REPORTERS BEFORE GAME 1.

Moron.

PLUS, I still am equally eager to see who is on the floor at the end if it is close.

We need to build team unity, not this junk before Game 1 . Grow up Paul.
 
Of course Sap is pissed. But I would want him to be pissed. It doesn't really matter since I suspect he'll close games and halves with Al. Personally, I'm most interested to see him and Al play together THIS year with all the changes that have been made to the defensive scheme. It might not be long before he's starting full time if they show they can be effective together.
 
As for Bell, I am not a big fan but at least he came into camp with 0 expectations and will do what is asked.

I bet he does not get a ton of minutes and he seems like a good defensive role model for our wings.

I know this, When Utah played the Jazz @ Indy last year, he stopped on his way into the locker room and signed for my son and was very polite and professional. Went a long way with me.

If Bell is really the starter then that is not good. Hopefully they are showcasing him to trade him.

We'll know we're in trouble if Ty subs Bell back in at the 5 minute marks of the 2nd and 4th. But I think Ty is going to use him like Chicago used Bogans last year. I just hope it doesn't take long before he draws his first DNP.
