Why does everyone think Milsap will accept a bench role?

I think as long as the coaching staff handles this the right way its fine. They cant just GIVE the starting role to Favors. He has to earn it. If he is able to out work and out play Sap in training camp, then he will win the starting spot. Sap cant complain about that. Hopefully both players will push each other to be better as they compete for more time.

thanks for the link, but I must say... that post is pure speculation and, for the most part, **** from top to bottom. Most importantly, it doesn't say that MilLsap wouldn't be willing to come of the bench, it says that he didn't want to think about that right now. difference.

No difference. Read deeper into the words. Its the nice way of saying "I'm the starter."
 
Imaging you a young middle manager at Jazz Fanzz Inc. with your degree, two years, and you are working you !#@ off. Tomorrow a college graduate comes in and in the first week your boss tells you "Well, this new guy has more potential than you. We're not going to pay him more just yet. But, we feel it is time for you to clean up your office and we are demoting you not because of you work. But, because of this new guy has the 'it' factor". How are you going to react? are you going to do what is best for a company the you feel just #@#$%$ you over? Or like Dwill who probably would have been here to stay if not for KOC say "well that is why I only signed a three year deal!"
 
Here is another analogy to start out with I'm not a fan of BYU football. Let's take their QB situation from last year you have Riley Nelson a solid athlete and a freshman star in the making Jake Heaps. Well, in this situation it is clear that you have to start Heaps ASAP because Riley isn't that great of a talent. That is similar to the Milt Palacio/Dwill moment of Jazz history.
But, let take that scenario and make it more relevant to the Milsap/Favors problem. Instead of Riley Nelson lets take Jake Heaps and now he is backing up Max Hall who just had a great year with you team. Heaps still has the 'it' factor. But, are you willing to move someone that is already competing at a competent level for your potential star (notice I said potential because he still isn't $@# in this league).

It the difference between molding Favors as a player Low to Minimal Risk/High Reward or gambling on an 18 year old potential star High Risk/High Reward.

I don't know about the wolf part of your user name, but the lunatic part is apt as ****. You are up in the night. Thanks for confirming what I thought (Millsap doesn't have to be stoked about going to the bench, but he didn't raise a stink and he certainly didn't say he 'wouldn't' like you accused).

What does ginobili say when asked about coming off the bench? Nothing like what millsap said. If he was okay about coming off the bench, he would have said something along the lines of: If the coaching staff think that is the best use for me, then that is something we will have to consider next season. Saying I don't want to think about it translates to that is not something I would consider or be happy about.

Being in band I'd figure you would know a little more about PR.
 
Because he is a professional and a team player. He will still play 30+ minutes a game. He was also a better rebounder off the bench than as a starter and that is a huge need for the team.

What?

Anyway, your prerogative is to make a mountain out of a molehill and there's nothing I can do to change that. Have fun.
