It seems Millsap will likely be a free agent after this coming season.

Jazz Offer Millsap Extension
- Thread starter nightmare3983
- Start date
I don't think he's being seriously undervalued. I hope he agrees to the extension, but I bet he gets offered 10m+ and leaves.

Initial contract extension negotiations between Paul Millsap and the #UtahJazz began this week, @sltrib has learned. #NBA
Brian T. Smith @tribjazz
Talks between Jazz and Millsap were positive and both sides would like to keep him in a Utah uniform. However, all indications are Millsap
will become an unrestricted free agent July 2013 and fully explore his options.
Brian T. Smith @tribjazz
The Jazz made an initial extension offer to Millsap for three years at about $25 million, the most possible under new CBA rules. Millsap
isn't expected to accept the offer, and is prepared to enter training camp with knowledge he'll become a free agent in less than a year.

Millsap and the Jazz have options moving forward. He could remain long term with Utah, sign elsewhere or be traded: nothing's certain.

Good work on getting this listed. 3 years and 25 million is about right Imo.
Too bad Millsap wants to enter free agency.

Millsap will get more than that on the open market... easy. The question is, do we want to pay Millsap what he's worth on the open market? I'm guessing 12-14 million?

I hope not. I love Millsap, but that's way too much for an average, and undersized, starting PF.
That's b.s. that the Jazz can only offer him a 7.5% raise when he'll be eligible for up to 30% of the cap as a FA. I thought that was bizarre so I checked with Coon, who's page confirms this is true.
The only other option is designating him their five year extension guy and hoping he takes the security of 5 years over a higher 3 year deal & possible injury before FA. But that screws designating Favors as the five year guy if he turns out to be of that caliber.

Trade him for boozer if that is the case. Not that I want anymore undersized overpaid pf on the team. I see him getting overpaid with the hawks next year. I would have loved him for 8.5 million a year and as a backup player but I don't see that happening.
Then he'll pass and I don't blame him .. and I don't blame us either .....
