I don't think we'll see a trade of Millsap or Jefferson before the deadline. They just aren't worth that much as expiring contracts. I think we could get better value for them in a sign and trade this summer, and I believe that's the direction the team will focus on.
Of course, if something amazing falls into our laps it's better to strike the iron while it's hot. I just dont' think we'll see an amazing offer right now.

I'm the same way. I'd be surprised if we made the trade...or any trade of any kind, despite the fact that we're in great shape to make some trades to try and better out future...I guess I'm just asking to be let down

Obviously, I can't find all the articles from the lengthy negotiations.
Here's one in which Paul's agents are pretty critical about the Jazz' negotations. I should have clarified that Paul had two agents, but both Simmons (his uncle) and Vartanian had criticized the Jazz throughout the porcess.

"It's definitely a situation where he's getting what he should. It's a fair deal. The Jazz had a chance to not let this happen, but unfortunately they didn't value Paul as much as other teams."
"The fact that Portland came out and went after Paul so greatly showed how much they want Paul," Vartanian said.
"If Utah matches, there's nothing we can do," he added. "Paul will play hard and do what he has to do. But if we had that offer from the Jazz, it never would have come to this."
The highlighted paragraph doesn't make it sound like Paul really wanted to return. Notyhing we can do...but he'll play as hard as he can? Boy, that's a ringing endorsement. How about just being grateful for the contract and they're waiting to see if Utah matches?

Hey, here's another one, and I quote...
"Calls for reaction on the decision were not returned from Millsap's two representatives, DeAngelo Simmons and Ara Vartanian, who last week ripped the Jazz for their handling of the matter and suggested their client would much rather play in Portland than remain in Utah."

Cy, I don't know what your problem with me is, but I'm no troll. On this issue you've been pwned!
We may disagree on many subjects, but I don't recall ever calling you names or blasting your views or you personally. Kind of sad, really, to resort to attacking someone for just having a different opinion.

The Most Interesting Man in the World would sound way cooler and much less whiny than this.
Maybe. But MoTown is a very good poster and Cy was wrong and off base. We all are from time to time (well, except for GVC, he's always right) .. but just stickin up for MoTown here.

But PKM Is far enough south so I'm sure he's ok with it.
I did hear a rumor that one more text from PKM would qualify as stalking, so he has to be very careful.
I'd bet the Jazz have an offer on the table to the Clips, and the Clips are debating whether to take it. That's why they'd hold Bledsoe out, but Millsap hasn't been shut down yet.

Probably waiting on the Celtics and Garnett to give them their final answer. The Millsap/Bledsoe deal will occur within about 15 mins off the deadline if it indeed does happen.
Man, you are taking something that happened 3 years ago and making a mountain out of a molehill.
My head says yes, my Jazz heart has me perpetually set up for disappointment.. so, 50/50.
Yes, he does.
Are we still giving credence to that troll post saying Bledsoe sat out from practice today?
