If we get Millsap now, we are sure to have him.

The stinking in the playoffs narrative is idiotic. He is the best player for Atlanta. In the playoffs, other teams focus on him first and make the other guys beat you. And they can't. Look how easy Durant's life got at GS. Playing with better teammates makes life easier.Sorry for the slight hyperbole. Regardless, he stinks in the playoffs and is old as fugg and paying a guy that much at that age is dumb.
A huge factor no one seems to be talking about with the 4 position for the Jazz is that Joe Johnson needs to be put in mothballs until the playoffs. If Diaw is gone (he's definitely getting traded or cut, and if he's cut, I doubt he re-signs), Favors is still slow, and Joe is playing in the high teens/low 20's... who the **** is playing?I don't want to jinx it but Favors to Atl makes a lot of sense for Favors and Atl. I love the idea of milsap return, and it makes sense because Joe Jesus cannot go through an entire season playing major minutes at pf. It would leave the roster missing a backup Center unless the jazz are prepared to make Bolomby and Bradley the back up center and primary back up pf against big matchup.
I feel like Lindsey has more up his sleeve, I can't wait.

The Jazz definitely are acting like they have numerous contingies laid out for the position that we've yet to see (if the draft is any indication, which it is to me).
If Hayward stays (c'mon buddy), trade Favors, Diaw, and Neto for Millsap ($25).
Why for Atlanta - Millsap is an unrestricted free agent. Getting anything for him is a positive. Favors went to Ga Tech and would provide a little buzz to sell tickets as they rebuild.
Why for Utah - I can't think of a better, realistic fit next to Gobert and Hayward. Millsap has a comprehensive game. If not for Giannis having more 1st team votes, Millsap would have been in a NBA defensive team yet again this year. With Rubio, we need a PF who can spread the floor. We just gave $13 to Ingles who is 30 soon. Its obvious we are making a go at this thing now. Millsap is 32, but he has a ton of quality time left the way he plays. Lets go get the best PF we can to round out the roster.
I think we are a contender if we bring back Hayward and add Millsap. We might need injury help or a miracle, but it could happen with these guys.

If Jazz really don't see a future contract w/ Favors, I would move him give an offer to JaMychal Green
What $$figure can the jazz stomach & will that be enough to pry him away from Memphis?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can we just waive Burks to clear up space if nobody is willing to take on his contract?
Paul gone 3 year 30 mill a year to denver

Well this thread was fun while it lasted.
Denver has 7 pf'
Think they would give away Tyler Lyndon?
How's JaMychal Green's defense? He shoots a good percentage from deep of limited but not insignificant attempts and he rebounds at a respectable rate relative to other "floor spreaders."
We only have the $8 million MLE to offer.Good point. They'd probably match nearly anything.
Jazz could throw about $15 mil/year. I think we may still be able to keep Exum and Hood, even by giving Green that number, next offseason considering money looks to be tight league wide.
