#1- Trade Millsap to Portland for #6, Cash.............Pick Harrison Barnes. Hollinger on his chat the other day said this scenario is very possible.

#2- Trade TPE to Houston for #16, then package #16, Cash and 2013 Jazz Top 14 protected for next year to Detroit for #9.............Pick Damion Lillard, and Detroit can still likely get a big like Henson, Melo, Leonard etc.

#3- Sign Ersan Illyasova to 4/$30 which gives us a stretch 4, 3pt shooter, and he is from Turkey to help him and Kanter.

#4- Send Raja somewhere if possible or amnesty him. Send Watson to Atlanta and promise to pick up $4M of an amnestied Marvin Williams. Or get Marvin as a sign and trade by signing Chris Kaman for something like 3/$24M to Atlanta for Marvin.

How: Jazz Shed Millsap cap hold of $8.6, Raja $3.48, Watson $2M and pass on team option players for now which takes us down to $38M + $5.5M for Barnes & Lillard we sit at $43.5M with a projected cap number of $58M we have $14.5 to make the free agent offers to Illyasova and Kaman to get Illyasova and Williams.

Harris/Lillard
Hayward/Burks
Williams/Barnes
Favors/Illyasova
Jefferson/Kanter

Imagine the lineup possibliities:

Lillard
Burks
Haryward
Illyasova
Favors

My Favorite
Burks
Hayward
Barnes
Illyasova
Favors

Beastley, Long, Athletic, Shooting, Rebounding etc.

You can't sign and trade another team's free agent...... We're going to pay Ersan $7 mil to come off the bench? Why not just keep Millsap?

Your four step solution looks to doom us to mediocrity for years. Plus can't use a TPE for a pick only a player.

Okay then trade our tpe to dallas for odom and his $2.5m buyout and get #17 and trade it to detroit. As far as why not just keep Millsap..... Um the #6th pick qand the fact that Millsap is officially a backup pf. Ersan is an up and coming stretch 4 who can shoot the 3, rebound and run. I would much rather have him and Harrison. Barnes than Millsap as a backup.

I actually like #2 if it were permitted.
