Remember when people said this 6 years ago when we let him walk for nothing cause "WE GOTTA PLAY FAVORS OVER MILSAP LOLLLL." Yeah, that was a mistake.

Overall, I feel like $20 is much better spent on Millsap than Hill after everything I saw this year from Hill with both injuries and the inability to get on the floor when we need him most. And I also consider the combo of Favors and Diaw who simply cannot compliment Gobert against an elite team like GS. And I would like to keep Favors as the 3rd big with Millsap and Gobert.

Lowry a free agent
Dont think anyone called Millsap 32 going on 33 6 years ago.
Hill was on teh floor for our 1st round series win....
I'd rather roll the dice on not having him.

He was, and he did pretty well. But he missed 30+ in the season and 2 in the 2nd round so far. Considering one of our two stars could leave and Hill is over 30, I consider Hill missing at a very important time.

I would love it, but this idea would get blasted by most on here.

I would consider sign Reddick in addition to resigning Ingles. I could see a lot of lineups where we could use them together with Hayward still on the floor. We need shooters.
As for Mills, I'm thinking of a cheaper option and somebody who can create his own shot and shoot well. He could start but not impeded Exum's development.
I know I'm probably dreaming about Millsap but he would be perfect.

The only mistake Utah made with Sap was not trading him for future picks when we had the chance.
DL has managed to build a probable 60 win team when healthy, but there are still morons who want to go back in time and treadmill.

Letting Millsap go was stupid. Letting him go without trading him was stupid.
All things considered, we made a mistake picking Favors over Millsap. 4 straight all star appearances (regardless of conference), injuries, wins, play style next to Gobert, passing, everything leans Millsap. With Millsap, we would have been a playoff team the last two seasons before this one. He would have made up that 1 or 2 win difference.
But hindsight is always 20 20.

Millsap was an UNRESTRICTED free agent. Expecting him to re-sign with a regressing Jazz team would have been completely stupid. Fans here always like to assume he would have re-signed based on some off-hand comment he made to the press, but common sense would have been to move him.
No, the smart thing to do would have been to start the rebuild sooner, like the year we barely scraped into the playoffs. That includes trading away guys you probably aren't going to get back, and Millsap would have brought back a nice rebuilding package.
Basically, KOC had a chance to pull off something similar to what Ainge has done in Boston, and blew it. And his stepping down the next year had everything to do with it.

Maybe I have too much faith in Quin, Gobert, and Hayward but I think they could keep Cousins in check. The list of gettable talent upgrades is short.
If I'm Hayward I'm leaving if Cousins comes to Utah.

Of course we missed chances to trade assets. I wanted to trade AK and Boozer long before they left.
My point is simple - we should have kept Millsap. But we had more faith in Favors and eventually Kanter than Millsap. If we are looking the Ainge route, we should have traded Favors when his value was sky high and signed Millsap to what he signed in Atlanta that first contract which ended up being incredible value.
Regardless of Millsap's perfect fit next to Gobert, it turns out he was a better player than Favors. Not even a discussion really.

Thats a decent point. I like Cousins next to Gobert, but Hayward probably frowns on that idea..,

Kind of a risky proposal but Brandon Knight.
He is on a long contract that could potentially be seen as overpay, but under the new cap it's basically right below average starting PG money. Trade Burks for him. I think Phoenix would do it just to get out of the 3 year commitment to a 2 year one. He has been *** in Phoenix but was a capable scorer with the Bucks.
