    According to a SCL newspaperman on the Wheels program on 95.5.

    No one should be surprised if this is true.

    Predictable. After the first year it's really a good deal for a player like Millsap.

    That one was more of a bad typing error than one of my many spelling errors

    I would be happy if they would sign him now, rather than Friday. I hate how they wait until the last day.

    The question is then do they work out a 3-way trade with us. Also, this is not yet confirmed merely speculation on the part of an SLC reporter.

    Why sign him right now? Utah may as well wait the full seven days to keep Portland's cap space tied up on Millsap.

    Even if they sign him, this is going to fuck them in the ass so hard it's not even funny. Don't they have to instantly pay the man like $10 million (signing bonus + other incentives)? Not to mention the tax consequences. I'm fine with Utah signing this. It basically backs them into a financial shithole. They'll still try to deal Boozer, but good luck finding a suitor willing to just let you knock off salary.

    I hope Pritchard offers as much as we can to Ramon Sessions if the Jazz retain Millsap.

    We still win if Utah accepts Millsap's offer.

    No we don't Maxie. We certainly don't lose either though.

    Either Utah signs Millsap and goes into tax hell...(doesn't affect Portland though) Or they trade Boozer for players...(doesn't affect Portland either)

    The only way we "win" is by them not signing him, or agreeing to some S&T with us involved getting a player we want.

    Well they will need a trade partner and that leaves OKC and Portland.

    I also agree with AmirIcon above that if Millsap is reatined by Utah we throw max dollars at Sessions.

    Yes we do. Cap hell means they can't go out and improve themselves unless they give up real value. It means they're less likely to use their exceptions. It means they're financially constrained while we're competing for a championship.
