He was wildly inconsistent for a period of time after he was an all-star, I hope that he has a repeat of last season.

We can obviously still resign him, it just remains to see if they really are willing to pay the luxury tax. That and some creative contract moves. We still have to fill out three roster spots now to meet the league requirements. That's more against the cap, though I'm sure we can use the MLE to sign some of those players.

FML. Wherever Sap goes I'm watching the games vs. Jazz just to see him rape Booz.

You don't think they go at each other every day in practice? They know each other too well. I highly doubt Millsap will rape Boozer. He's a good player, but come on, everyone on this board makes him sound like Karl Malone II. He's not.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Millsap back. The Jazz go into next season WAY over the luxury tax threshold, but they will also have about $30M in expiring contracts. They could do any trade they want with those assets.

thank you, the way that millsap is getting overrated is ridiculous. He's a great hustle nice energy guy who's good especially at his height but he will never be at the offensive level that boozer is. Defensively yeah he's better then boozer but thats not saying a whole lot, not saying i wouldnt love to have sap back but he seriously gets overrated here.

:lol:

I can understand the Boozer hate to a degree, but some of you clowns are funny as hell. I love the Sap and hope we keep him, but if he goes somewhere else, I look forward to watching Boozer drop 30 on him.

I wish I had something meaningful to add to the discussion here, but I don't. I just want to say "Hi"

Yeah, I don't care Boozer a ton. I do think that Milsap is starting to get really overrated.

I really like Okur. I think that he is a great guy. I am glad to see him around. Hopefully this will be a long term thing.

Hello yourself. Seems silly that this board won't allow you to PM. And don't worry about not having anything meaningful to add. That just means you fit in with about 90% of us. :wink:

Very strange that we ended up with Boozer and Okur again. I really don't think they play well together. We still should match up to $10M/yr cause I don't believe we'll retain them both when they become free agents. It really sucks that we don't have more room for a defensive center with Okur/Koufos/Fesenko. Hopefully these guys can step it up in that department.
