I think he might be a slightly better rebounder than Sap, but Paul literally blows him away in every other facet of the game.

This is worth repeating:
Millsap has somehow managed be consistent and even add facets to his game WITHOUT the aid of an awesome PG and WITHOUT his former hall-of-fame coach. Out of all the players currently on the team, Millsap's powers will be magnified most by the addition of a legit PG. The dude knows how to play the game with others. Awwww, remember what it was like to have a pg?
I understand the decision to trade him, but if I were running things, I'd dump the rest of the expirings, bring back Paul, and bring in Teague (among other moves).

it would be great if we had a chance to get pierce and calderon or lowry.
let's assume it would take jefferson, millsap, burks and or draft picks.
calderon or lowry - tinsley
hayward - foye
pierce - carroll
kanter - williams
favors - draft/trade

But dude, he's small for his position, hence, they are the same. DUH
In your infinite wisdom, what does keeping Al and letting him go for nothing do?
So bad I had to neg rep. Certifiable horse-****.
Let's just go get Rafa. Dude plays hard, and he's BIG.

Because if we are in it to have expiring contracts then Al is way better to have than Udrih and Dalembert because he still gives us a better chance in the playoffs for at least this year. Bringing those two in half way through the year wouldn't help. It would hinder us. It takes time just to mesh, let alone make up Al's production.
I'm all for shipping him out too, but not for basically nothing. At least send Al to the bench before you do that. He's bad, but not that bad. The Jazz just are simply not going to make a move like that unless they get a pick back.
Besides, I bet he gets better offers than that. People around are mistaken when they think he has zero value.
No one thinks Al has zero value.
However, there is a huge difference between value as a FA (what a team is willing to pay him) and value in a trade .. What that same team is ALSO willing to give up AND pay him, both.
I think most are saying his trade value is vastly limited, not his net value to a given team.

Thank you for reminding us of this.
By trading one of them, and taking back somebody's bad contract and a proscpect the jazz are also freeing up another teams cap space thus creating another potential bidder to compete against the Jazz. Keeping both, 1st round and out, and waiting for the summer maybe the safest move, and if it is the safest move it will most certainly be the path the Jazz take.
In other rumours.......
Celtics pursuing Lowry. Twitter chatter says he is undervalued and has a good contract, but not sure if Boston has the assets that Toronto wants. However nothing is impossible with Colangelo in his final year of his contract as GM and needing to do something to keep his job.
