Oden for Millsap?

The Jazz would have to do this if it were on the table. Oden's still young and just 2 years ago he was the next Tim Duncan. Sap's hit his peak.

You dont trade a player who has proven he can provide for a player who hasnt even proved he can be healthy yet. Lets say Oden stays healthy, he still has to prove he is worth a #1 pick. ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN
 
We've been waiting for how long now for Sap to be the starter and as soon as he gets the chance you want to ship him off for a "Kwame Brown" type player. No thanks. Let's see what Paul can do with a full season of starter minutes. I think we'll all be very happy.

Why does he have to prove he's worth the #1 pick? If the Jazz traded for him all he would have to prove to me is that he can stay reasonably healthy and more valuable than what we trade for him. I don't give a **** where he was picked as long as he helps the team.

Millsap has proven he can score and rebound. But at the 4 against starter's is a huge question mark. And against the Lakers he was absolutely pathetic defensively. I'm not sure at his size he will ever be able to man up on big guys with low post games like Gasol and Duncan. It was nice that he did not play like a scared puppy but he still has a huge hill to climb because of his size.
 
Absolutely yes - in a NY minute. But Portland would die laughing at the offer. Oden may end up being a bust but he also may become one of the best centers in the league. Sap will never be more than an average PF and he should be a 6th man. No team will ever win a title with Sap as the starting PF unless the center they have is a world beater and then it is still doubtful. AJ can start and AK can be the backup PF.

Is there risk with this - sure. But the upside potential is far greater than the downside. Even if Oden sat out the season, trading Sap does not cost us many if any wins this year.

Uh, no. If you have the opportunity to trade a career 6th man/borderline starting PF for a young 7 footer, 3 years removed from being drafted #1, who still has a sky high ceiling, you do it.
Millsap hasn't even proven he can stay healthy in a starting role either.

Portland won't do it. If the deal is on the table it will be foolish for KOC to reject it, no matter how risky it is.

No way it happens anyway.[/QUOTE

...yeah, just what we want to do....trade them a healthy, ball busting stud under contract at a fairly reasonable rate.....for a guy with an ingrained physical condition that manifested itself early on and will always be present, not allowing him to EVER again play an entire season of professional basketball and who can't shoot, pass or dribble, and is overrated on defense when healthy?
