Jazz to actively pursue Paul Millsap this offseason, per Spencer Checketts

I could see this happening if...

....the Jazz have a deal to trade Favors to the Knicks for the #4 pick, where they'll get a young big like Porzingis. Then they'll want a vet PF to start while we bring Porzi along for a couple years.

Knicks then have Favors and Carmello to attract FAs.

I'm so glad you aren't the GM.

You think trading Favors for some dude named Kristaps is good idea for where this team is?

Did you watch last season? Did you see how good Favors can be?

Is Kristaps a sure thing? I don't think he is.

It would be idiotic to trade Favors for anyone in this draft. We don't need to get younger. And we don't need to be trading a sure thing for a huge question mark.

If you want a stretch 4, give Favors the green light to shoot threes.

Please put down the Cron.

Did I say I'd do this if I were the GM?

Or did I say that it would be a plausible explanation for why the Jazz would want to bring in a veteran All Star PF like Millsap who's going to get paid well and won't want to come off the bench...?

Except that I'm not sure it's worth paying Sap 12-million/year to come off the bench. Millsap may not want to come off the bench either, given that he's been an All Star...

If we're really going to pursue Millsap, it seems to signal that the Jazz have a deal to trade Favors for a top-5 pick in this draft and we need a PF to start for a couple years to bring this new guy along slowly. So who would be this young, raw awe-inspiring PF that would make us willing to trade Favors and bring in another PF so he can develop? It would have to be Porzingis.

Wait you think....nevermind. Why do people think Favors is some kind of scrub?

You damn near are suggesting it. Don't act like you arent.

It's a terrible idea. No way in hell would Dennis Lindsey be thinking this. So yes, it's your idea.

Srsly Hack. That was pretty obvious. Catchall is right bringing in Millsap only makes sense if we trade favors. That is unlikely so we can forget about this silly rumor.
 
I'm not saying the Jazz will trade Favors. It would be a bold move if we did, since he's part of the league-leading defensive front court.

But I can all but guarantee several teams are calling to inquire about Favors--the Knicks and Magic both have to like him. The Jazz might decline, sure.

The Knicks would pair Favors with Carmello, make their franchise less of a joke, and recruit one or two FAs. They could play Favors at the 5, and it would work well in the Eastern Conference.

The Jazz would come away with Porzingis or Russell and could draft either a wing or a big at 12.

Favors is an asset whose value has appreciated. All kinds of scenarios have to be looked at.
 
I am behind and it look like we've already discussed this, but yeah the only way this has truth to it is if Favors is on the way out. It would be a risky move, but lets say we trade Favs to the Knicks and draft Porz... then we bring in the Millman for immediate help while Porz is developing.

What team do you like better? I really like Favs though, as a player and a person.

Paul is not the missing piece to a championship team. This is rumor-mongering and nothing more.













At least it better be. If that is the free agent we are targeting we are setting our sights pretty damn low.

No offense Paul. I like you and all but. Damn.

Haven't you heard? Gobert hit 9 fifteen footers in a row. NINE!

Well, playing this out.... Two years from now the Jazz have:

Exum
Hayward (or Burks or Hood if we loose Hayward)
Oubre/Johnson/Looney
Porzingis
Nouveau Gobert

That's a pretty prototypical team if Porzingis will rebound and defend. Basically you have the Bucks' perimeter defense backed by Gobert. That keeps us top 5 defensively. Meanwhile everyone in the starting line-up should be able to go for 25 points and play in an open system. Three guys might even be ungardable if they develop.
