Rumors...

You can't replace what Millsap brings to the table. I would not take any of those 5 over Millsap. I might take Gilchrist or Barnes.

The internet is hilarious a this time of year. There's "RUMORS" and then there's "SPECULATION." This is purely speculation by a nobody website. Here's what this Daniel clown writes:

ESPN reporter Chad Ford speculated in a draft chat that the Jazz may have contacted two lottery teams about trading power forward Paul Millsap for a 2012 first-round pick.

Here's the actual question and answer in Chad Ford's chat.

KC (Tulsa): If the Hornets are looking to trade Pick 10 for a young veteran, who are some of the potential targets?

Chad Ford: Darren Collison, Eric Bledsoe, Evan Turner I've heard a lot. Ditto for Paul Millsap of the Jazz.
Chad Ford: By the way, I'm told the Blazers are looking at the same group of players at 11 if they decide to trade the pick.

To clear up the confusion, not once did Chad Ford "speculate" that the Jazz have contacted New Orleans or Portland about trading Paul Millsap. The only speculation Ford made was that the Blazers and Hornets would be interested in Paul Millsap (among others) should they trade their pick. I wouldn't trade Millsap for the 10th or 11th pick, but if it gives people something to talk about then feel free to go ahead and "speculate" on this "rumor."

VSlice pwning noobs left and right, as usual.


For the record, only way I won't get devastated by a Millsap trade is if we somehow land Lillard, and he meets expectations.

A gamble (lotto pick) for a known commodity (Millsap)?

Add a proven player and the pick then I'd move Sap. Nothing less.

There is a big divide on who that player is. Both Lillard and Marshall are mentioned here frequently. So whould you, or anyone else, be ok with either of them?

I'm 50/50 on Lillard and Marshall, so yeah. I know people are pukish over how much I've said this the past 2 years, but nothing has changed. Real PG are going to go through a massive dry spell. Lillard obviously has the shooting, but Marshall is a rare pure PG with elite IQ/passing. I love Millsap, but PG's are at a higher premium .. and we better get one while/if we can.

OR --- assemble everything else and spend the big bucks in FA on a stud PG.

I already told him. No doubt Kendall Marshall for me. He can be really perfect fit for us.

Id hate get rid of Millsap also. But we have to be realistic. We cant keep all these big men and have holes.in the rest of the team. We have to move somebody to balance out our team. Otherwise, we will just end up losing guys for nothing, and be left with our holes still. Besides, Millsap is good, but not a franchise guy. So no need to desperately hold on to him.

This is a good point. There really isnt anything out there to be had for our pg of the future. KOC needs to pull the trigger on a trade for a pg, if he thinks there is a chance there is a good one in the draft

At the request of certain posters, I have promised not to say .. anymore ..

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

If Millsap is traded, I fear, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, that this means we will re-sign Al next off-season and go with the three-headed monster of Favors-Jefferson with Kanter off the bench. I'll ****ing lose it if this is the case.

Since this thread is titled 'Rumours' I figured it was not limited to the Paul Milsap for a draft pick rumour.


Steve Kyler: Sounding like Houston is REALLY open for business - well beyond Sam Dalembert... could be a fun off-season in Houston

Can KOC reunite Big AL and McHale?
