The Millsap dilemma

mfree said:
The only possible reason to trade him is that he is so valuable you could get a haul in return. I think the Jazz would have to be blown away to consider it. You certainly don't trade him for a middle of the road player who happens to play a position that appears to be a greater need at the moment. Those needs change. Don't overreact to them.

The man is a leader and example to the younger players. Keep him and let him play!!!

I think everybody agrees with you. Is Millsap perfect? Nope. Is he a very good role player? Yep. If you can get a solid wing player for him, do you move him? Absolutely. If the Jazz could get a SF/SG that plays good defense and shoots 40% from three for Millsap, then Millsap should be gone. If not, he should still be here.
 
I would have no issues dealing Millsap if it returned someone of great value. Like others, I think Millsap would have a problem coming off the bench and that bothers me.

Do you think Big Al would have a problem coming off the bench?

Repped-And I think that if Millsap can work on being a sf for15 minutes a game to give Favors more playing time. Im cool with it. But if hes not willing to try Sf and not willing to come off the bench. Trade him and trade him now. I still like the Idea of trying to trade him and our 12th pick to Denver for Gallenari, Ty Lawson, and Gary Forbes. Then use the 6th pick on the best avble big or resign AK to be the backup 3 and 4. And start this rebuilding with a true SF. Every piece would be in place especially if we got a big like Enes.

Lawson Harris
Hayward Forbes
Gallenari Miles
Favors AK
Jefferson Enes

Has shooters and decent bigs and I think would be a great team next year~!

So why are these stupid questions about coming off the bench only asked about Paul?

There are very few things that Big Al does better than Paul Millsap on the basketball court.
 
Millsap reminds me a little of Artest (only with a great attitude) in style of play, so I think he'll be fine at SF once he gets used to it.
 
If Sap can't defend the 3, I'd still rather have a starting frontcourt of Favors/Millsap than AJ/Favors.

Plain and simple.

And there's no way in hell Big Al is playing the 3.

I disagree with this. Sap is never going to have Al's post game. For that matter, few players will. He can be a machine in there if we can get him straightened out. The first part of the program is pretty basic -- he needs to get better position in the post. Part of that is Al. The other part is schematic -- screens to get him the ball in low. When Al struggles, it's because he's 10 feet away. When he gets the ball at 6-8 feet, he's pretty deadly.

Yes, he's not a great passer. But I'm optimistic he can develop that part of his game for 2 reasons. One, he never played in a system before. Two, we were horrific this year sending cutters through the lane. The offense gave up at the 14 second mark of nearly every clock.

Al might prove me wrong, but I honestly think he's going to another level in his game next year.
