In absent of any news.. and draft discussions have been trashed to death.

I'm just curious what you guys think about what the Jazz should do with Millsap.
 
I think Ty needs to sell Millsap on being a 6th man. The Jazz need him off the bench for scoring and rebounding. If he is playing great then he finishes games. I not sure Millsap will go along with this but if he doesn't then you trade him. I can say this as a big Millsap fan. I don't want the Jazz to trade him but Millsap needs to come off the bench.
 
If you just out right replace him without Favors earning the job, then I think Millsap would find it disrespectful.
 
Option E- Millsap as 6th man but have him close games. If Favors struggles or gets in foul trouble a lot,insert Sap back into starting lineup

As much as I like Millsap, I think if we have a chance to trade him for Knight we should do it.

If we can get Kanter, Knight & Singleton in this draft would be beyond my wildest dreams...
 
Start him at the 4. Slide him to the 3 when Favors comes in. Evaluate him at the 3. Then have this discussion.

This will allow him to keep his stock high (still the starter, still putting up numbers) as well as see if he's capable of being a 3 (which the Jazz need).

Also, I think the Jazz' wing for the future is in the 2012 draft (Barnes, Gilchrist, Rivers, etc.) and if there's any way the Jazz can hold onto Millsap as a 6th man you gotta do it.

Start him at PF until Favors is ready.

Exactly. If/when Favors makes the next step and develops more consistency, polish and on-court awareness, then move Sap to 6th-man role or if that doesn't work out then look to trade him, but don't not until you're sure Favors is progressing as planned.

Favors has the potential to be great, and I think the work and competition to beat out Millsap for the starting role will only help his development.

Exactly. Favors is NOT ready to start.
I think Millsap could be convinced to be a 6th man in 2 years. He's perfect for that role. He dominates opposing subs and takes less pounding. He'd also get more touches. This season there will be enough PT even if the Jazz draft Kanter and Okur comes back. Favors will get 25 if he stays out of foul trouble. Jefferson will get 30-35 and Millsap could play 20 at PF and 10 at SF. That leaves 20 mins to split between Kanter and Okur. You know both will play limited mins early in the season. Besides, few players play 82 games. Someone is going to get hurt and miss several games.
 
I'm in agreement with most. Going into this next year Keep him and play start him unless Favors beats him out for the spot. After that see were we are.
