Paul Millsap being shopped by ATL

Because Paul Millsap would be a good fit for us and would put us in the top 3 in the West if we keep Favors?

Sap is 31 and Lyles is 20 ... Lyles as a rookie and 2-3 years younger than Sap as a rookie was probably the better player. You guys are overrating Sap, and I would never trade a player with as much upside as Lyles with all those years ahead of him for a player who is on the downside of his career unless he's good enough to take us to the NBA finals. You're trading away the future.

But Millsap is a perennial All-star lol. He's made the last what, three All-Star games? He was the top player in defensive win shares in the league. Millsap is legit, he's a two-way monster and he's seriously a Top-20/Top-15 player in the league, which you can't really say for anybody on our squad yet, although Hayward is entering that conversation.
 
Not looking like this will happen anyway, Horford just signed with the Celtics.

Hawks will be much better with Millsap/Howard than Horford/Howard.
 
First things first, welcome to the board.

I would love to get Millsap if we didn't have to give up any of Exum, Hood, Hayward, Favors, Gobert, or Lyles.

I would flip Burks, Burke, and picks for him though.
 
The issue I think you're failing to see is that there seems to be a certain timeframe for the Jazz in their plan and what they want to accomplish. Trading away (probably multiple) future core players for an aging Millsap who will hit the market and probably be offered a max does not make sense for THIS team. At all.

To be fair, he probably wouldn't have been an all star in the west

Lyles isn't a guaranteed, sure-fire All-Star or even starting-caliber player.

Neither is millsap playing In the west on the jazz with favors and Gobert
 
Well the Celtics signed Horford, so Millsap probably wont get traded unless Atlanta is retarded.
 
From what I read, I expected Horford to sign with the Celts. He wasn't happy with the Howard signing. Oh, and furthermore, do you really think that Millsap is better than Hayward or Favors? Like other posters said, he was a perennial All-Star in the East and wouldn't have made it in the West.

I love Millsap as much as the next guy. He's a good dude, has a great attitude and plays high level basketball. The Jazz went as far as they could with the guy.
