@ChrisBHaynes: Utah Jazz will have a meeting in person tonight with the representatives of their free agent power forward Paul Millsap, I'm being told.

Not surprised. The price needs to be right. But I am sure we want him back.

I'll add a second caveat - he must be ok with coming off the bench.

I would sign him without a doubt if he is willing to surrender his starting spot. At the right price obviously.

Assuming price is right, why the hell not?

I am totally against this. If we sign Millsap he will be starting no matter what. Corbin will start him for sure over Kanter. Kanter right now is a better Rebounder and defender. He has a better post game also. Millsap has a better outside shot and is better at passing and slashing but I don't want to sacrifice the chemistry of Kanter and Favors. They need to play together.

And also Millsap will want a 4 year deal. He will be in his 30's for the last few years of contract. Millsap relies on his quickness and agility to beat people right now. That is going to take a huge dive really quick and he will become Udonis Haslem but not as aggressive. But will be getting much more than he should. If he was 2 years younger I would say yes. But I can promise you that Millsap only has 2 more years of being effective. Than he will become a 11-12 point scorer to go with 7 rebounds a game. And we will be paying him 10 million a year to do that. Let him go!

Short PF's don't do very well in the later parts of their careers unless they are power players. Millsap should be let go he is not a power player he is all agility. I don't want him.

Because he thinks he should start.

A person could make the case that it makes the Jazz too good (which hurts their odds of grabbing a god of basketball next year and increases their odds that they keep a mediocre coach for eternity). I'm not sure I would make that case, but...

There's shades of that too, I guess. I'm confident the subject will come up and that if Millsap is signed, he knows the direction the Jazz are hoping to go in.

This.

Or at least, be open to the fact that he might be coming off the bench in the future. I wouldn't mind Millsap at $8million per coming off the bench ala Nick Collison in OKC....

So here are the options if he's re-signed.

1. He starts at PF and Favors at C.
2. He starts at PF and Favors comes off the bench.
3. He starts at SF, Hayward at SG, Favors at PF.
4. He comes off the bench behind Favors.

Which one is most likely?

Favors at C, him at PF.
