I might just be a homer, but I think the Jazz need more out of this.

Millsap is a better value than Lee.
Al is one of the few low post dominators in the league, and played every game this year.
There are rumors that Lee's elbow may be a lasting problem.
And we already have the #12.

On the other hand Monta is one of the best SG's in the game. Not sure he works in the Jazz system, but that system might be changing.

Personally I feel we'd need more out of this. Not a bad proposal though, and definitely better than most.

He could possibly play your point position....

No thank you, not touching Lee and his contract.

Plus our front court will be much weaker and our defensive problem gets worse. Doesn't make much sense for us unless were gonna make some bold trades and try to contend. I rather just blow it for some young talent than get Monta w/ Lee's bad contract. In that case, we wouldn't be able to compete until we upgrade our front court which would be really tough to do; In addition to getting alot better defensively and much better defenders.

I'm gonna stay away from this if i'm KOC methinks. This doesn't work out well for us in the long run at all. I know we need a legitimate scorer but we aren't this desperate.

If Kobe Bryant were split in half, he'd be two people-- Godbe, and Chuckbe.

Chuckbe and Monta Ellis are basically the same person. No thanks.
Jazz on your face.

I can't see the Jazz being interested in Monta Ellis.

I want Big Al to stay if we are getting Monta we need the inside back to the basket game he has. And Lee's contract is not a good one.

Jazz probably dont want Monta even though he is under-rated as he gives his best every game though a little too much of a chucker to play PG.

GSW say no as giving up way too much!

I've never been interested in Monta. I like Hayward at the #2 spot. I don't want a severely undersized SG.
