i liked Millsap too but he kinda wore out his welcome with me his last year here. He lost a lot of 4th quarter mins to Favors and he sulked and showed some bad body language. His effort and workman like attitude was way down. And it showed as his worst year in a while. Offense and defense suffered due to him having a bad attitude. He didn't even lose his starting job and Uurke had a better attitude then Millsap and I'd say favors was way better player at that point then Exum was last year.

As much as I like Paul, I don't think it's a good idea. He'll just take minutes from the up and coming young players on the team.

I would take Millsap over Hayward as our 3 any day of the week. Package Hayward + pick 12 to Charlotte for Biyambo, Vonleh, and the 9th. Then we sign Millsap draft Stanley Johnson.
Exum, Burke, Cotton
Burks, Hood, Millsap
Millsap, Johnson, Ingles
Favors, Vonleh, Booker
Gobert, Biyambo, Vonleh
Done
I approve

No, I think he is saying he could probably get a max contract elsewhere, so if he is willing to come to Utah for less money, it would be a great addition.
They have Elijah signed.....

I think it is very important to consider that the Jazz under Lindsey have done a better job of controlling the message sent to the fans. If the jazz leaked this to a Jazz employee it is for a reason.
Shrewd PR is to feed info to the consumer (or populace if you are in politics) so that they reach the desired conclusion before you announce it. That way, they believe it was their idea. This is more important if the move you are about to make could be controversial.
The other thing to consider is that the Jazz could be doing Milsap a favor by generating talk about him in the marketplace in an attempt to drive up his price.

Checketts doesnt work for the Jazz.
I don't believe this rumor. Millsap is probably expecting a large contract since this is pretty much his last. Favors is a superior player who shows improvement every year. PF is not really a position of need, and Millsap is not really a stretch 4. We would have to give up Booker, and expect Favors to play back up 5, while Millsap and him share minutes at the 4. Unless they think they can land him for real cheap, and expect he'll settle for a diminished role (both very unlikely), I don't see why they'd pursue him.
lol go eat your big mac. more fun offensively? will that win a championship? smh

Meh, more than likely Checketts made up the rumor himself to draw in more followers and listeners.
If he agrees to 4x12M(or something of that sort) that would be a great sixth man for the Jazz, would complement well both Gobert and Favors in our bigs rotation. But I don't see it happening to be fair... He will most likely want to be paid and nobody can blame him for it.
