    So does that mean 15m first year + 15m in luxury tax for the Jazz (9m + 6m signing bonus)?

    A 4 year contract offer for a back-up PF and a 4 year contract offer for a two-time All Star.

    What a great summer. :(

    From Larry Coon:

    $36M * 17.5% is over $6M. If you give him two player options, or two team options, then the guaranteed years is two. This would likely mean

    base of 7.7/8/9/10 turns into 11/11/9/10

    or

    base of 10/9/8/8 turns into 13/12/8/8 (ouch).

    If we end up with Millsap, I'd count it a fantastic off-season. Millsap is a major piece to add free (in terms of talent).

    I'm guessing that Utah will match. I'll agree that Millsap is a nice player, though. Thank God it wasn't Brandon Bass.

    I never gave Millsap much thought this summer because I thought we had zero chance.

    In terms of talent/age, he's the best FA on the market this summer.

    It seems like it might be difficult for them to do so, financially. I think there's a chance they won't match and, if they do, a chance that Portland can get them to do some kind of Boozer three-way deal. They apparently can't afford Boozer and Millsap, and it looks like Portland has structured it (with the signing bonus) to be most financially punishing in year 1.

    I edited your post?

    I just think it's funny that some of you get all caught up in what KP says to the media in interviews that's all.

    Portland wouldn't have wasted the time, nor the flexibility, if they didn't think this could either get them Millsap or give them leverage for something else. I'm sure they made this as painful as they could for Utah.

    I'm a big fan of Millsap's. Have been since the beginning of the offseason.

    Everyone is saying Utah has one week.... does that mean Millsap accepted the offer? :D

    If we don't end up with a Millsap/D. Harris/G. Wallace someone of that caliber, I will be disappointed.

    Millsap is a nice player and might have been the best FA this summer but it isn't what we need and is stupid to make this offer. Unless this leads to something else KP is a idiot plan and simple. I think it is one thing to play fantasy basketball and rate draft picks and draft a team. It is another thing to actually being a good GM and with making trades and FA pickups to improve your team. I think now KP is way over his head as a GM. Go ahead and flame me all you want.

    It means KP failed to find a third team and do the 3-way, and Utah called our bluff.

    So we either get Millsap, or Utah has even more incentive to find a third team for Boozer.

    Would you like it read back to you?

    What you posted:

    What I originally posted in response to whether there was an offer, before this announcement:

    and what I said after the annoucement:

    Don't create your own post and then criticize me for your words. If you have a beef with me, then at least base it on fact.

    Didn't Roy himself say we needed Ronny Turiaf?

    And isn't Turiaf a poor man's Millsap?

    So much hate on these forums! We definitely need a low-post banger/rebounder.

    At the beginning of the summer, I wrote one name down and one name only. Paul Millsap.
