Jazz want Sap?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Millsap will be back for less than he made this season. The Jazz will give him 4 years at around 7-8 per. No one else will give him 4 years.

A person could make the case that it makes the Jazz too good (which hurts their odds of grabbing a god of basketball next year and increases their odds that they keep a mediocre coach for eternity). I'm not sure I would make that case, but...

I don't think we'll be too good... we can't be worse enough to get a top 5 pick regardless, but I don't think we'll be good enough to be outside the top 10.

Having Millsap should add about 5 wins to the total, but hopefully he'll also teach the young guys about work ethic and what it means to fight for a win.
 
If you are Sap, would you take a 4 year 30 million dollar deal or a two year 20 million dollar deal? I think those will be his options, especially if Dwight doesn't go to Houston.

5 wins is commonly the difference of 5 spots, at least once in the lottery/out of the playoffs. And the difference between 7th best and 12th best odds to land in the lottery - at least historically - is huge.

What about Kanter? He should be getting starting minutes by now.

I'm just telling you how it would be. Kanter hasn't proven a whole lot in quantity, hasn't paid as many dues, and is coming off of a pretty serious injury on top of that.

I think Sap would be one of the best compliments a team could find to Dwight Howard. I know that wasn't your point.

I like Paul, but I'd rather see Favors and Kanter starting. I think Derrick is a better fit at PF than C. Put 100% effort into developing a center tandem of Kanter/Gobert. Eiffel Tower isn't ready, but that's okay; we need the backups to lose games for us. Burke, Hayward and Burks (or whoever we sign as a FA SG) can take care of the offense. I'd rather see the Jazz be a little worse this season than make Millsap the #1 option on offense.

I think with the money saved by signing Sap instead of Howard and Howard's abilities vs Sap's, Sap would be a better signing than Howard for Houston. They are a P&R team. Howard isn't. They like to run. Howard doesn't. Now Howard's defense is incredible....maybe I'm just crazy here.
 
I've always been of the opinion that Millsap was given the starter nod over Favors because of his contract situation. Corbin loves vets, and I'm sure he loves Millsap for obvious reasons. I think Ty still gave Sap the benefit of the doubt, even though Favors turned on last season, to give him the best chance at a payday. Ty hinted towards it at the end of last season.

I don't think he'll get the same treatment again if Kanter out plays him, and I think Sap knows this. On top of that, there was supposed friction between Ty and Paul last season.

I don't see him coming back.
