    I'm sorry, my joke was apparently not clear. I was implying that you were of the homosexual persuasion, and preferred man mayo on your sammich.

    No. No. my friend. I guess I wasn't clear on my behalf. I take it you wish I liked cock and balls, I clearly don't, therefor you have no chance. You live in Portland though, I'm sure there's plenty of options bud!

    Probably means Denver joins the lower "half" of the conference playoff race. Now if the Nuggets get rid of Kenyon Martin, I won't hate them nearly as much.

    Oh, I think they'll fall out completely, because once Anthony is traded, Billups will not be far behind.

    A rotation of Lawson-Smith-Afflalo-Nene- Martin, and Favors sucks.

    Milsap's contracts value this year was probably brought down because of our offer. If he was in this years crop, his contract would have been much bigger considering what some mediocre talent recieved. Utah also traded its trade exemption gained in the Boozer deal for Jefferson, putting themselves over the tax.

    The more I think about it, the more I think Utah wants in on this deal to spite Utah. The move doesn't really make sense from their standpoint, but as long as Carmello is out of Denver its a win for them

    Utah took out a loan, with interest, for the Milsap contract. Loans become due over a period of time. Or, Utah can keep paying interest on it.

    Just read the article........ would they do a sign and trade? What good is his promise to re-sign? Boozer did that to the Cavs back in the day.

    First off I assume you mean Utah wants to spite Denver? Secondly, Kirilenko is going to make 17 million this year. He's a pretty good player, but he's not 17 million good and while Diaw is nowhere nearly as useful (unless they're going up against Joey Chestnut) he makes roughly half that, which puts Utah back below the tax line

    That makes zero sense. So Utah can pay a 70M dollar payroll last year, yet has to take out a crippling loan to pay the mere 10M that had to be paid within 7 days? Then, instead of paying the loan they trade for Al Jefferson? Also, Millsap's cap number is going to be higher for the duration of his contract compared to his actual compensation each year.

    I would just say Utah will not pay the luxury tax (just like alot of teams) and the Millsap contract was a mild discomfort.

    I think it's more of an issue of liquidity and having the time to get the money together for Millsap's signing bonus. The Millers have most of their assets tied up in their car dealerships, which means maybe not a lot of hard cash laying around with the car sales market in the toilet.

    If the loan, which I have no idea if there was one or not, was truly that crippling, why trade for Jefferson?

    It may not make sense, but it is what happened in order for the Jazz to sign Millsap.

    All the more reason to shed payroll at this point.

    FGump has a pretty good rep on RealGM and summed up the Millsap contract nicely.
