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

So does anyone see this as a possibility?

No. If he wants a deal like that he has far better options. Including staying in Atlanta.
.
I find this whole "rumor" as laughable. The Jazz and Millsap both have moved on. It's not an ideal fit for either and therefore I find the rumor to make no sense, all the way around.
 
I think I'm only fine with this deal if it's a 1 year 10 mill contract or something like that.

It would also mean cutting Booker, which would totally ****ing hurt. Who becomes our badass/enforcer of the team? We definitely don't want it to be Gobert-- our franchise hopes completely ****ing depend on that dude's health.


I say we don't do it. We need a backup 5 more than a 4 (Fav plays better at the 4), so let's just grab Tomic. Tomic + drafting a shooter makes much more sense than Sap right now. Maybe he can come back further in the twilight of his career when we make a concerted championship run.

The more I think about this, the more I'm not a fan of it

Top-3 picks expect a lot of playing time and will demand a big contract after the rookie deal. Smaller than what we would probably pay Sap in the long run. Plus we expect to contend in two to three years.

It doesn't really matter what the top 3 picks expect, because they aren't free agents. They don't have the luxury of turning down an offer from a team to come off the bench if they can get a guaranteed starting role and more money elsewhere. See the difference?
 
8 pages already and it is still 18 days until free agency begins and 28 days until anyone can sign. Plus, we have that little thing called the draft to deal with too.

It is a possibility, but I wouldn't say it's likely. He's not the youngest player and I doubt many teams would give him more than what he can get at current max when he's 31 year old. He's entitled to 30% max now.

30% of 68M is about 20.4 with rising salary of 4.5% every year, that would be 21.3M second year, 22.2M 3d year, 23.1M 4th year(or thereabout). That's 4 year 87M contract. What's the chance he'd get a better deal after next year when he will be 31 and his level of play might even drop this coming year. If I were him, I'd take the max now instead of waiting for next year. Not many free agents get huge money at 31.

I'll be surprised if anyone gives him a max contract.
 
Jazz tried to trade for David Lee before the trade-deadline. So is it safe to assume the Jazz would be willing to pay Millsap at least up to 15.5 million?

What about max for max amount of time. Would he do it?

We don't have the money. Max we can give him is about 14-15M if we want to keep his brother and that would mean renouncing all other non-guaranteed contracts(Booker, Cotton, Cooley, Johnson, Jerrett... am I missing somebody?).
