9/mil per plus signing bonus?

The thing is, I think KOC might be stupid enough to match.

I really I don't know what I want to happen here....

Thats A LOT, but not only are we losing sap but giving him to one of our biggest rivals. Gross.

They'll happily match & trade Boozer.

It's 7 days to match not 10. You all should get the offer tomorrow they say. I hope u all match or come out tomorrow and say from the get go u will match

This is not a good scenario. It will be an interesting couple of days.

This may just be the Blazers trying to force the Jazz's hand with a Boozer-Hinrich-Thomas deal.

Obviously a ploy to force Utah's hand in a trade. Hopefully KOC can find a deal that doesn't include Portland; that way they get nothing!

I'm pretty sure it's 7 calendar days. But if it's 7 business days that's where the "10 days" could come from.

I think the same. If such kind of trade doesn't pan out into the next days... well... Jazz should let Millsap go... in the long run I think this contract is goint to bite back Portland...

Anyway... I consider 36M + bonus for 4 years is overpaying Millsap big time; we're probably talking 10M per year average here... Brandon Bass is not a step back from Millsap and he signed four years for less than half of such figure...

Portland is playing with fire here... I say Jazz should let them be burned.

would be stupid not to match this, trade Boozer if that's what Portland wants.

HolyToledo · Post #15 » by **HolyToledo** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:52 pm

tough decision as I have always as you guys know of AK-47 at PF. Trade Boozer and let Millsap leave lets that happen. Seems like Portland paying alot for a bench player. Maybe the goal is simply to get him out of Utah, and their owner, unlike ours, is rich willing to and able to pay any luxury tax.

Jazz will match and Boozer will be gone a week from now.

Whether that's what's best or not I'm not sure, but it's what I'd bet on happening.

If the Jazz match this totally crazy offer **** they are putting themselves on the verge of the projected 2010-11 cap space for 4 players (Kirilenko, Williams, Okur, Millsap - 52+M)... now THAT would be stupid if you ask me.....

Warriors are willing partners for boozer I believe.

doesn't Jazz have bunch of expirings next year? i don't think Jazz can find a big man that's capable of putting 15/9 on the open market for 8 mill a year.

I really think the Jazz end up putting the Blazers on a bad position here.... 9M per year plus signing bonus is way too much for Millsap.... if Millsap were a free agent out there I don't think the Jazz would be signing him for such kind of money.... and I think vast marjority of Utah Jazz fan base have to agree hat's huge money for player that would not put you over the top....
