It would be sad if all we could get for Millsap is Hamilton. However, I might warm to the idea if we traded Millsap for Hamilton and Jonas Jerebko.

You only do something like this if you have a deal in place to flip Devin Harris for a starting 3. The trade doesn't address any of the Jazz's longterm needs, as Hamilton is in the twilight of his career, and the Jazz have a competent PG (even if I don;t like him that much).

We should trade Jefferson if we want to do this trade. Bring in athletic and powerful guys. You guys act like Rip Hamilton sucks. He doesn't at all. He just doesn't want to play for the Pistons anymore. He's only 33 (not 35) and he is less money than Jefferson. Plus it gives us an automatic upgrade at shooting guard.
Rip is better than Hayward and Burks. If you disagree then you don't know anything about basketball. Burks and Hayward could both learn a lot from arguably one of the best mid range shooters of all time.
With big guys like Favors and Kanter, getting Rip makes the most sense because he can run off screens extremely well. Knight is compared to Chauncey Billups so we could have our next 2004 Pistons team in our hands.
Knight, Rip, Future 1st Rounder (Top 6 protected) for Jefferson, Bell.

Solid argument.
Hamilton won't be much happier playing for Utah. We are rebuilding too.
Seriously If we could get Knight and had to take on Hamiltons contract for Millsap, and the G.S. pick I'd do it rather then wait another year for the draft. Let Knight, Burks, Hayward, Favors, Kanter (the future starting 5) have a full year of team chemistry under its belt. Even if they made Utah take Maxiells contract it would still be worth it. Knight, Hamilton, Maxiell for Okur, Millsap, Bell.
My only worry is that we would be way to young, to a fault. I think you still need strong veterans in the locker room like Millsap.
