Jazz to actively pursue Paul Millsap this offseason, per Spencer Checketts

I love this. He'll probably get a max deal, which is fine. He's got 3+ good years left, is productive, plays his *** off, can stretch the floor a bit now. If he's willing to come off the bench, awesome.

Max deal for a bench guy? are you crazy?

Meh, more than likely Checketts made up the rumor himself to draw in more followers and listeners.

Spence actually brings good Jazz coverage, the best on 1280 tbh. He's jumped the gun before, but I have a feeling this is really a rumor he's heard or he's towing the Jazz line.

The dude is very well connected and has legit national sources.

He has a pass with me even though he listens to Jack Johnson.
 
It makes sense if they don't bring Booker back and want to take that next step. Pushing for the playoffs again!!! Wooooohoooo!
 
People thinking that spencer just made it up don't know the depth of spencers connections. He has nothing to gain by making up rumors.

My only thought is Quin thinks Sap can play the 3/4.
 
Exum, Burke, Cotton
Burks, Hood, Millsap
Millsap, Johnson, Ingles
Favors, Vonleh, Booker
Gobert, Biyambo, Vonleh

Better team then what we had at the end of the season. Get over Hayward you turkeys.

Tell us more about all his "connections" then. What Jazz-related rumors has he been the first to leak in the past that ended up being true?
 
Oh man. I love Paul and would love to see him back. But he likes playing the 4 and probably doesn't wanna come off the bench. I don't blame him. As much as I like him, he's better off where he is.

Let me just pull out my spread sheet that keeps track of that kind of thing. Give me a break.

Spencer has connections to the Jazz and upper management/ownership that no other media member in the world has.
 
If he's willing to come off the bench in a Booker type role, as a rich man's Booker, I'm fine with it. Just can't imagine him being willing to do that.

And despite all of his amazing connections, I still can't seem to find a single rumor that Checketts was actually correct about. Pretty easy to find rumors he was wrong about though.
 
Can't really see Sap going from a 60 win team starter to 30-40 win team bench player. That said, Sap is an all star, and it would be a huge haul to get him here before salaries skyrocket.
Maybe Quin thinks he can make it work with Sap at SF part time.

Most rumors like "Jazz are interested" or "Jazz are going to pursue" can't really be proven wrong or false.
 
The point, Cy, isn't that Checketts was wrong. It's that he has never been in the loop on any moves the Jazz actually made. His only track record to go off of are a lot of rumors that never ended up happening.

Given that, I'm not really sure how you can criticize someone for being skeptical of the latest Checketts rumor, especially when it makes virtually no sense.
