Fatty is a relative term. We talking Rosie O'Donnell here?
Overall you just have to weigh what we can get in a trade vs. what we can get in FA. The stronger of the two is what you do. KOC has stated multiple times he is wary of taking back a bad contract just for the sake of making a trade, so signs are pointing towards us waiting into the off-season for good news. Though KOC hasn't even really given accurate signs out his entire career.
What I want in a trade is relief from the feeling of obligation for resigning Jefferson next year. If that's all we got out of a trade this year, I'd be rather content.
I don't think KOC feels any obligation to re-sign Al. It's not like we are dealing with a Memo situation where the player in subject is a beloved member of the team by the fans. If he felt that toward anyone, he would feel that obligation towards Millsap, which could be good if we are able to get the right deal.
I don't think it's a sentimental thing. It's more of a "how do you not resign your best player?" thing or a "we can't give the reigns to two guys who combined barely played more than Al last year" kind of thing or a "we need an offensive centerpiece" kind of thing or "how will we make the playoffs next year?" kind of thing or a "Al is a dominate low-post big man and you don't let him walk for nothing" kind of thing. You get the idea.
Point made, but could a Boozer like deal not be reached somehow where we did a sign and trade?
Chicago did us a favor. I can't remember if they gave us a second rounder (I'm thinking no but could be wrong) but other than getting the trade exception, which I think we did to save face (I would have been content just letting him go). But back then we had Deron as well. We don't have a Deron (in the FO's mind) to alleviate the fan concern if Jefferson is gone (which I think would be a concern of management).
I think KOC has a lot of friends in the league though. That could be due to his commitment to confidentiality in trade discussions, so maybe GM's (who aren't in our conference, direct competition with us) would throw us a bone like the Bulls did.
I'm just curious what the front office feels. This issue is so difficult you have to imagine there are some intense differing opinions behind the scenes.
Now that Sloan is gone, and doesn't have that pull it all comes down to Greg, Lindsey, and KOC. I would love to know how they feel.
If I had to guess they all love Millsap, and his game. 1 or two of them like Big Al as well. Greg is probably worried Sap will cost too much to
resign. He's still talking himself into going with Big Al. Lindsey sees that Big Al is offensively talented but too flawed to build around. KOC
is the wild card.

why not. did you know if there are 2 girls hanging out one being a skinny, girl considered hot by most. hanging out with a fat girl who is kinda hot if she loses weight. you should show interirest in the fat girl. and show no interest at all in the skinny one you might be able to get both.
and think of all the soft cushyness.
sometimes skinny girls get you bruises from al the exposing bones if you catch my drift
