to offer sheet*

Offer is designed to force the issue with the trade

They have 7 days to make a better offer to Millsap. The easiest way for them to do this is to send Boozer packing. (which they obviously want to do anyway) If by chance Utah doesn’t match & we get him we now have even more talent to use in trade before the deadline to upgrade our team.

Millsap is BPA and he fills a need. Maybe their 3rd or 2nd need but a need,

C*mcast sucks!

That's over 8 mil per year

It is a toxic offer, indeed. So, we either get Millsap, the Jazz match or we leverage them into a trade with somebody (da bulls?). Sounds like a win/win for Portland.

Excellent.

I consider this a good move in the right direction. I’m quite hopeful.

I wish they would of given the Jazz more time to find a 3-way deal for Boozer.

Back-up PF isn’t really a big need, LA is a horse he can handle 40 a night.

They have a week (or until next Weds)

They can still discuss scenarios with other teams.

LaMarcus is a horse

but it is better to keep him somewhat fresh for the playoffs. No reason to kill the starters during the regular season if it isn’t necessary. Besides, this just may be forcing the 3 way trade which is rumored.

To summarize: Wade too quick, Kobe too skilled, LeBron too physical - Batum
