Rumor: Jazz want to - and can - acquire Milsap. May trade Favors in draft day deal.

They Wouldn't be trading Favors FOR Millsap. They would be trading Favors for something else THEN signing Millsap to replace him. I'd hate to trade Favors. Love that guy like a brother. However, I'm really interested in what is being offered to make the Jazz consider trading Favors. I don't think Porz gets it done. It would have to be a backcourt player or there would be no need to obtain Millsap, right?

Except they'd be trading Millsap to "TRY" and sign Millsap. It would not even be a sure thing. Nothing about this rumor makes any sense whatsoever.

Deal might be Favors, Burke and 12 to the Knicks for 4 and Calderon with the target being Prozingis? Then Milsap in free agency?

In what universe is Porzingas any kind of upgrade over Favors. Or even equal to. Or even on the same court. Also Milsap. Also, I call ********. This sounds like a best buy pillowfort deal.
 
If the Jazz trade Favs for Millsap, that definitely makes Utah the official loser of the DWill trade.
 
Slight of hand. While everyone is looking at one thing, the Jazz are really making a move outside of your field of perspective. Focus on Favors, and miss that we're moving up with Burke and picks to grab a backup big man to complement Gobert and Favors.

I'm sure that they wouldn't trade Favors without some sort of indication from Millsap that there was interest. Hell, they could be passing notes through his brother. Again, I think this deal is bunk, but in order to even CONSIDER trading Favors that carrot would have to be plenty damn big. And I sure as hell wouldn't trade Favors + #12 for ANY draft pick in this draft.
 
If rumors are true, Jazz might see Porz as a stretch 4/5 to spread the floor better. Favs did improve his mid-range shot but the skinny on Porz is that he's a great shooter. The trade off would be that it would set us back a couple of years as we wait for Porz's body to develop a la Exum. He's bigger and longer than Fav's though. Could be intriguing.
 
An interesting take here from Steve Luhm, and this thought crossed my mind as well:

Hate to ask, but if the Jazz have already talked to Millsap about returning and draft accordingly, couldn't a case be made for tampering?

In other words - there's very real likelihood that this is a smokescreen.
 
Let's wait until the draft is over and the dust settles. Favors was rumored last season and he stayed. DL has a good track record - let's take a deep breath and realize the man who brought us Gobert and Hood knows what he's doing....
 
I like that the Jazz are throwing some shade out there. This is new for the organization. Very strategic. We'll see if they benefit from it tonight.

If they are doing this then they are tampering with another team's player. Just more risk on top of more risk. Have the Jazz ever shown any indication that they are willing to take absolutely insane risks with no guarantee of compensation? I just can't buy this rumor at all. There is no sense in this rumor. It has to be either all make believe by reporters or the Jazz sending out BS just to mislead them.
