Sap on the block

[Siro]

Without long term commitment, I wouldn't give a single asset. With long term commitment, I still don't want him. He's going to want to be paid big, as it is his last large contract. We already have problems figuring out how to pay the players we have. Whose salary do you want to shed to afford Millsap? Favors? Get the **** out of here! Millsap is too old, and Favors is already at least as good when healthy.

Would they take Lyles, Burks, and the GS 1st?

Is that too much to offer?

That's even worse than just trading Favors straight up.

Long-term asset control is more important than a half year of a Millsap level player.

I dunno if it'll be a half year rental. Millsap started his career here, maybe he would like it if he can finish it here with a chance at winning the ring as well.


Millsap & Gobert is a DREAM combo in today's NBA.

Not sure about "dream" combo. Sap's three point range has severely diminished these last two years. They probably thought Howard/Sap would be a dream combo and hasn't worked out that way. Howard is beasting this year also.

I dunno about that comparison. Howard's a ball stopper ala Al Jef, ... Gobert's a willing passer.

The dream combo is Favors and Gobert, they are close to the same age and we know they play very well together and fit our identity. We also cant afford to pay Millsap enough to keep him here unless you want to give up Hayward and/or Hill next off season.

Millsap is shooting 30% from three right now and only 44% from the field. He is not really a good fit or a need.

I just hope, in the scenario Favors returns to form and starts playing great, he actually lets them finish games together.

Favors has been missing his mid range shots quite a bit the last few games I watched him.


Also he doesn't have the 3 point shot or even a long range 2 ala Aldridge required in today's NBA for a PF.

I wouldn't deal any of the long term pieces just because of the cap situation he'd put us in. But he's still a damn good player, best on the Hawks, and one of the best defenders in the NBA. TOR is the one I want to see, just to see a real top tier challenge to the Cavs in the east. Poeltl/picks/decent salary matching players might get it done, not sure.

Heard Korver/Thabo were on the block too, could definitely help a bunch of teams as well.

Favors is no where near full strength still. If he isnt going to get healthy this season or next then we have an issue. Still they are putting up great numbers when they are both playing. We dont need a PF to be a shooter to be good. There is no requirment in today's NBA that a PF needs to hit 3s or long 2s. Some teams have had success with that and teams try and copy but that does not mean other things will not work. The Jazz are proof of that, we are not GS and we are not building like them. We are after long athletic players that can switch and be versatile. Favors is better all around then Millsap when healthy. We just need him to be healthy.

Okay, okay, maybe I was too kind.
