....what is sweet...about Bell starting....or even playing???
Bell on Kobe is actually a good move. Let him do the only thing he is good at. Foul Kobe.
From Tweets coming out seems like Milsap is pi$$ed he is not starting.
I will be just as curious to see who finishes.
I am a little concerned we may have team issues before game 1 even starts. Do not like players not speaking party line.
Wonder if Milsap will be part of an upcoming trade.....

Really about what I expected. Bell is still a consistantly aggressive defender and can be relied on to get in Bryant's face quickly. He'll kinda set the defensive tone for the others; don't expect him to play a ton of minutes. Glad to see Hayward starting over CJ and Favors over Millsap. Howard, CJ, Evans, and Millsap off the bench with either Watson or Tinsley should be nice!
I'd kinda like to see Hayward throw him out of the way again. Hopefully we'll see that again. Lakers should be tired, this being their 3rd game in as many nights.
If you trade Millsap I think we'd be way too thin up front.
I think it's a good move to bring Millsap off the bench. You pair him with Kanter in the 2nd unit and you have a pretty good combination in terms of youth/experience. If you were to start Jefferson & Millsap, then may end up with Favors & Kanter as your 2nd unit which is not ideal experience wise.
Also with Favors still learning not to foul, I don't think Millsap will be sitting on the bench for a long stretch.

Hopefully Raja Bell plays better this year. Just half decent Defense while hitting the open 3 point shot. Shoot at least 40 percent from the field while shooting at least 37 from 3. That is the minimum of course.
I hope we trade him either way. I want CJ Miles & Hayward starting with Burks and Howard off the bench. I hate log jam's especially when we have players that need to develop (Burks).

I love Milsap but things like this bother me. We are paying you millions of dollars so shut up and play on whatever position/unit we tell you to. Do not take this crap public. If you have a problem fine, raise it appropriately but once the decision is made then toe the line.

This thread and the claims from others are useless without links.
Do you have any links or quotes or.......????
Not my thread but I took 2 seconds to find something. https://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/jazz/53188562-87/millsap-jazz-bench-com.html.csp
Also my earlier comment singles out Milsap. It shouldn't. That comment goes for all players in any sport.

Yup. Links please?
Hopefully we win. I think Millsap will be ok with coming off the bench as long as the team is winning. If the team is sucking then he might get upset.
