Look how stupid this guy is. Why the hell would we want to ship Millsap for Bargnani?

Bargnani is hypothetically a good fit along Kanter and Favors. Both Kanter and Favors play defense and rebound exceptionally well. Barg does neither. He does stretch the floor though, ala Memo, and would for the Jazz offense to have excellent spacing.
 
Uh...Bargs' contract runs through 2015, and new deals for Hayward and Favors will start in 2014. Jazz will likely still have room for another player, but Bargs just isn't any good.
 
Bargs is an experienced and skilled big who is under contract for two more seasons. By acquiring him now the Jazz fill a roster need before the July FA frenzy that is going to engulf the entire league. They avoid a bidding war, and there is no risk of coming up empty handed or settling for table scraps. How embarrassing would it be if the Jazz don't make a trade and then miss out on Milsap, Al, and whomever else they try to sign? Why risk that PR nightmare?

The Jazz will be busy enough trying to fill 5-6 FA spots, it helps to know what else they need to chase.

This is a safe roll of the dice (like Al was) a skilled big on a short contract, for cheap.

Just looked at his stats though. The guy hasn't shot above 30% from deep since 10-11' season. Ouch. Retracting interest.

I can only assume you're trolling me. They will not accept the QO, and will become restricted free agents in the summer of 2014 unless the Jazz extend them in 2013.
