    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Adding a talented player at a cost of no talent given up is a great move, whether or not he's the most-needed player. Trades can always be done to even the roster out. There wasn't a comparably talented player at a position of need (except Sessions, but he seems much harder to pry away).

    Could we leave utah with an extra dirty memphis? let them eat up a HUGE contract for millsap, and then not do anything with the trade of Boozer. Hope something awful happens to those Jazz men?

    They might just lose money. Funny for us, but doesn't do a lot to help Portland on the floor. I'd rather either get Millsap or get a useful player out of a Boozer deal.

    This assumes we have all the facts, which we don't. I'm starting to wonder if there may be some truth to the Joel concerns. Maybe they feel that Oden/LMA/Millsap is better than Oden/LMA/Joel? Millsaps center numbers are pretty impressive.

    I can't help but wonder if either Joel or LMA is not going to be here soon. Or, maybe Millsap is the best available piece and a good trading piece down the road.

    I can watch masters play chess, and I can speculate what they are doing, but they are thinking many moves ahead of where I am. It would be hard for me to criticize their moves given they know what they are doing and I don't/can't know where they are headed.

    I love that we're going after Millsap, but I think the Jazz will match.

    As someone else mentioned above, they might, but will have to trade Boozer in a deal that involves some team with big cap space. There just aren't that many left who would help them out. I really don't think Utah will keep both and pay double figure luxury tax. Their options are limited.

    Just wait a week on the press conference. Millsap is Trenton Hassell Part II in terms of being matched.

    He might turn the offer down.

    Not likely, but certainly possible.

    At this point, I think Millsap would have had to agree to the offer sheet in order for the Blazers to have sent it to Utah. Otherwise, what's the point? Deals in principle are not offer sheets.

    I don't know the CBA specifics, but I don't think Millsap could back out of this if the Jazz don't match. I think he becomes a Blazer.

    He might also get hit by a safe falling out of a window while walking down Broadway... then what the fuck are we going to do?

    He seemed interested before, and I'm sure he gave them a verbal answer . . . but, we've all heard that before.

    It is finally official.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4320029

    4 year appx 34 million to Millsap.

    What does this mean to the Roy situation and our cap situation?
