Should we trade Millsap for a great Point Guard?

[spycam1]

Boston fans would rather have Al Jefferson than P Millsap.

They want an inside scorer.

And Jazz fans would probably rather have Millsap.

Ideally we want a pass first PG who can stretch the floor. Sadly though, I think we're going to have to choose between those two qualities. If it comes down to that, I'd rather have a pass first PG, so I say yes to Rondo.

I'd love Jefferson for the Wiz' 2013 1st round pick. They have no inside scoring and there's no way in hell they'll give up their 1st this year. However, I think they'd consider it for next year's. And I don't see Big Al getting them many more wins given his track record.

I also see a handful of currently projected top 15 guys in this year's draft going back to college for another year and coming out in 2013. Plus there's Shabazz.

All that said, I just don't see how to make the salaries work. There'd need to be a third team. But I think this makes good sense.

I also think it makes good sense to let things play out for the rest of the year and see what the off-season brings.

.....well, there's a fool born every minute....and two more to pick him up!

Good young pg's are more valuable then good pf, especially undersized pf's.

I think anyone wanting to trade Millsap is nuts.

Is he a 20 point 10 rebound guy?

No.

But the leadership,hustle plays, and toughness he brings don't show up in the stat sheet.

A guy like Al Jefferson will almost always put up better "numbers" than Paul.Yet, rarely will Jefferson do more to help you win.

Paul along with Earl are the heart and soul of this Jazz team. We should bring in other plays to improve this team, NOT get rid of these guys.

Trade whoever can get you the most in return.

Agreed. But I have yet to see a trade that fits that description. There's a reason why Boston can't get rid of Rondo quick enough.

As far as defense goes, I'm sorry but Millsap is not that much better than Jefferson.

WOW REALLY?

jefferson is LAZY doesnt even try to play defense..
but when he does he is good. maybe even better.
but millsap ALWAYS tries.

screw lazy players.

jeffersons defense sucks. ooh wait how can his defense suck, jefferson has no defense.

how dare you state that statement

OK, then; bench AJ when he's not defending.

Give him a another try in a few possessions--or at the next whistle--if you want.

Coaching 101.

Forget "chemistry" lost with subbing; if your center isn't defending, then it'd take a whole lotta chemistry to overcome the bad D. Also, benching bad performance enforces effort.

This. Paul is a winner and fits in with what we're trying to do. Once (hopefully) Favors and the Menace are ready to start, Paul will once again come off the bench and be fine with it.

Meh. I'm sure Millsap can bring back slightly more, but Al is still clearly the odd man out when it comes to our big men. Even if we were to get a little more from a Millsap trade, I would still prefer to trade Al. I have hope that Millsap will adapt (as he has) to any situation/role, and continue to improve his game every year. Al will stay the same. Also, Millsap's game complements Kanter and Favors' style much better.

Curious why you think Sap will improve but AL is not going to. Al HAS gotten better in a few ways since he got here I think. I love Sap too, but it seems he gets waaaaaay too much love here sometimes and people forget his faults too easily. Trade ANY of them for what we need. Al or Sap, neither is that big of a deal, which is why we wont get that much for them either.
