I think most fans will agree that he's the best player, but I'm not sure anyone outside of Utah knows that. As it stands, Jefferson is our primary option on offense. I wouldn't be surprised to see teams willing to take him over sap because of that.
I tend to agree, although I think the smarter/more informed fans league-wide still see Millsap as just the better player if you're talking about winning/playing on a basketball team. I spent some time on other teams' message boards (Pacers and Sixers) just looking at threads about Jazz trades. I was a little surprised at how often people would say something to the effect of 'Jefferson uses a ton of possessions, doesn't use them that well, is really slow on D, and costs a lot of money. On the other hand Millsap would be a perfect fit on our team and the price is right.' More people thought that than 'omg milsap is just so small tho sorry AL IS BIG LOW POST CHAMPIONSHIP.'
I'm being a little obnoxious, but I think I made my point well enough.
Getting to the point, I think their league-wide market value is similar. For my part, I take Millsap eight days out of the week if I have to choose.
Normally I'd think so, but that guy they're paying to GM sure things to approach things much differently.
While you make a good point, you're not considering that he's willing to do anything to acquire more PGs - no matter how many he already has - for some reason.
In related news, I like Luke Ridnour. I don't know that Earl Watson does, though.
Harris and Tinsley would net them a PG. I also like Ridnour. What's his history with Watson? On a hypothetical note, I'd offer Harris, Millsap, GS pick and that guy we have in Europe that I completely forgot about for Rubio.
Yes, tis allowed.

I'd do the trade. I love Paul but would rather have Westbrook.
They played together in Seattle (and maybe early in OKC, too). For a couple years they both played and split the minutes with Ridnour usually starting. Watson publicly wondered why he wasn't a starter since Ridnour didn't seem much - if any - better.
That's what I recall anyway.

I love Millsap and would hate to trade him but here's the thing. If we went to trade him for say a 1st rounder, we'd net something like the 10th pick. If we traded Westbrook for the same, we'd net something like the 3rd pick. In your typical drafts of course. Westbrook has far greater value. And he's the type of asset that could later be parlayed into Rondo or another such point guard. I'm not saying that it's a no brainer that we should do it but I would lean that way.
