and I really think Utah will be one of the most active teams during the draft. Well then, Portland and Minny
 
He should not start but he should be the 6th man. His production versus his salary is such that trading him makes no sense unless you draft someone who you believe can immediately give 25-30 productive minutes a night. I don't see that happening.
 
If he doesn't get the hint that you want him back to the bench mid-way through the year, trade him.

If he will become our Jason Terry or Lamar Odom, keep.
 
I think that Millsap coming off the bench with Jimmer and Miles would be extremely exciting! But I think he wants to start. I still would push for Robin Lopez, Peitrus, and there pick for MIllsap then use the picks on Knight, Jimmer, and Singleton
 
I think it's obvious that if Favors develops as hoped - Millsap will eventually serve Utah best coming off the bench. As far as whether that would cause a problem, I know Sap thinks he's a starter now - and I don't blame him - but knowing the type of team-first player Sap has always been, I like to think he'd put the team first and come off the bench. He may not be happy with it initially, but I think ultimately he would accept it.
 
I'm 100 percent sure Sap and Al starting next year is the best option to win actual basketball games. I don't care if it changes, but I don't think it will for the whole year.
 
Trade him for washed-up crap and the 21st pick. OH GOD WHY CANT WE JUST GET RID OF HIM 4EVER LOLOL he is 2 small okay
 
I think he was screwed when Boozer unexpectedly decide NOT to opt out of the last year of his contract. Millsap was expecting to become the starter after Boozer opted out, but when Boozer stayed, Sloan kept the status quo; started Boozer over Millsap. Kind of a bitter pill for Millsap to swallow... Anyway, Millsap needs to get over it, and I think he will, so long as his replacement actually EARNS the starting role.
I still think depending on matchups, which Corbin seems a LOT more aware of than Sloan was, Millsap can be effective logging some time at BOTH the SF and PF positions.
 
This topic again? It's pretty astonishing how many people on this board want to part ways with this guy. He's the best closer this team has, he has improved every year... EVERY TEAM IN THIS LEAGUE WOULD FIND A PLACE FOR PAUL. quote me.

Now, trade the **** out of big al and harris and we're getting somewhere.
 
Are we forgetting about Memo? Call me crazy, but I think he can still start.

Move Jefferson over to the 4. Bring Millsap off the bench.

I'm convinced that Millsap is best used as a 20-25 minute energy player. He gives 115% of what you expect when he's playing that role. When he is a 30-35 minute guy he gives about 85%.

Then again, Millsap has gotten better every summer. Maybe he'll surprise us again and become a legit starter.

Trading Millsap would be insane. For $6million/yr for the next 2 years he is a bargain.

Agree trading Millsap would be a mistake. Disagree about putting Okur into the starting lineup. Then what? Okur and Jefferson starting, Sap playing 25 minutes...and Derrick Favors picks up the scraps? Favors should be among your top 3 bigs, Memo the 4th who plays whatever time is left because at this point you just can't depend on him to stay healthy. If he can play - that's great - but I'm not sure you want to give him a large role only to have him disappear for a couple months.
 
It all depends on who earns the minutes. I don't think you should give Memo the minutes if he doesn't perform well. I still think Memo can be a legit starter. And I like the idea of starting Memo and Jefferson better than I like the idea of Jefferson and Millsap.

As for Favors, from what I saw last year he isn't ready to start, but I'm gonna go ahead and suppose he gets better this summer. If he deserves a starting spot, then I say give it to him.
