There is a rumor circulating that there is a three-team trade being discussed between Utah, Phoenix, and Chicago. Millsap would be going to Phoenix, and Robin Lopez and Mikael Pietrus would be coming our way.

Its been 40 minutes after the deadline? And that rumor has already been shot down.

Suns had talks about acquiring Millsap but it never got close.

Haven't been keyed in to the news cycle today.. Had just heard it live on KFan.

Deadline is ova. Jazz made their moves yesterday and will look for cap relief this summer with AK's contract coming off the books.

Thank God this didn't happen. Or I guess I should be thanking KOC for not trading Millsap for crap.

What was Chicago gonna get/give up in this trade?

That would be a terrible trade. So glad that KOC rejected it

I am not so sure that this is that terrible of a trade. Pietrus can knock down the three and is a pretty good defender. If memory serves correctly, I would rather have him than Miles or Bell. Lopez isn't the best Lopez but he does give us more size and defense that we desperately need.
