Jazz considering trading Millsap and Burke for the number 10 pick

Why would i say who either is if its told in confident???  Anyway The Jazz are in love with Lillard (like everyone else) and they have been putting out feelers for Millsap for a while since they have Kanter,Favors,Jefferson and Millsap. Can’t get rid of Jefferson because of his contract. Personally i rather they stay how they are so my Lakers can continue to pound on them:)

I’m not saying they will or won’t. Just repeating the info told to me.

Also i do not like the Jazz, its against my Lakerdom:)…It’s no secret out here that they feel they are only missing a PG ( i say PG and SG)

Never said i went to Stanford. You haven’t been on here long so you don’t know why i picked that name but there are plenty on here who have been on here long enough that know why. Another thing is there are plenty of trades that are talked about that never happen. Some of which are lopsidded. It’s pretty funny that some fans think that if they never heard of something or a trade doesn’t make sense to them then there is no way it can be true.

I’ll give an example of something that is probably known by now that i talked to a agent about.  The agents name is Deangelo Millsap (Paul Millsap’s uncle). I’be known him for a good 6 years now and not only play ball with him but hang out from time to time. Most of the time we don’t talk about the Jazz but every once in awhile we do. He has mentioned since last year the the Jazz are trying to transition Millsap to the Sf postion ( something I debated with someone about on here saying the Jazz wouldn’t do that but i was obviously wrong) so they could start Favors at the four and Gordan at the two (i don’t think he can play the two)

Did i say it was a smart trad eor the best trade ever?  Lets look at past trades.   Paul Gasol for the players he was traded for. In hindsite it wasn’t a bad trade but at the time if someone told me that was being talked about and i posted it on here you would have called me ever name int he book and i would probably get banned.And he never said THAT THE TRADE WILL HAPPEN. He said it is being talked about and presented to the Hornets. Slow down and read and not just jump to conclussions. There are plenty of trades out there that are being talked about(6 from the jazz) ttwo of which make less sense than this but this is the one that had the biggest names and most players so i figured i’d share it. I’ll be happy to not share any more info since it seems to get people too hyped up

Actual Paul did pretty well on defense at the SF. He guards Sf a good amount of times now. I’m still not a believer in Gordan but the Jazz think very highly of him.

Figured some of the info was out there…here you go

The Lineup That Saved the Jazz’s Season

Posted by Kevin Pelton @ April 22, 2012, 01:22 AM–>

When Tyrone Corbin tried Paul Millsap at the three late in last season with Utah headed for the lottery, the move appeared nothing more than a gimmick. So it was no surprise that, despite adding another frontcourt option in rookie Enes Kanter, Corbin scrapped the experiment much of this season. He brought it back on April 2 at Portland, trying to match up with an athletic Blazers frontline. The Jazz rallied to win that game, and Corbin held on to the big lineup as an option to use at times throughout Utah’s playoff push in the month of April.

Saturday’s overtime win over the Orlando Magic was the ultimate triumph for Millsap at small forward. The Jazz played the lineup for the entire second quarter, about five minutes apiece in the third and fourth and the entire extra session. It completely changed the tenor of the game. With the big lineup, Utah outscored Orlando 71-37 (+34 points). That’s remarkable in a game the Jazz won by 10; all other lineups were outscored by 24 points. That’s like two teams at completely opposite extremes within the same game.

Even before then, the big lineup had been dynamite. Entering Saturday’s game, Millsap had played nearly exactly 100 minutes at small forward, per BasketballValue.com. During that span, the Jazz outscored opponents by 23 points, or 11.3 per 100 possessions, on the strength of elite defense. The big lineups had allowed just 86.6 points per 100 possessions, way down from the 106.4 Utah usually gives up. With Millsap at small forward, the Jazz has tons of size to control the glass and contest shots. Millsap has proven capable of defending bigger opponents on the perimeter. These lineups also almost always feature second-year reserve Derrick Favors, the team’s best interior defender who also helped take away sharpshooter Ryan Anderson Saturday, including blowing up the pick-and-roll the Magic ran with Anderson on the final play of regulation.

The Utah offense suffers to some extent with less outside shooting on the floor. Teams have successfully used zone defense against the Jazz’s big lineups. (Surprisingly, Stan Van Gundy never tried a zone.) This is especially problematic when Millsap plays small forward with the second unit and non-shooter Alec Burks. Lineups with Millsap, Favors, Gordon Hayward and Al Jefferson (with either Devin Harris or Jamaal Tinsley at point guard) have scored a robust 109.6 points per 100 possessions and outscored opponents by a remarkable 21.5 points per 100 possessions. Just two Utah lineups with more than 50 possessions together have been more effective.

If Utah beats Phoenix on Tuesday to clinch a playoff spot, expect to see plenty more of Millsap at small forward against whatever opponent the Jazz ends up facing.

no one questioned the JAzz might try Millsap at the 3….. The Gasol trade was completely different. It’s more of the fact that teams never draft a guy then trade him after a solid season for a new draft pick at the same spot. Please tell me one trade in NBA history where a team traded one of their best players and best rookie for a re-do draft pick??? Grizz couldn’t afford Gasol and it ended up being a good trade because of the draft pick. This trade is completely different……

The Gasol trade was just one trade of many that seemed lopsided(And the grizz could afford Gasol you might want to take a look at how much money they had to give), As far as why they are looking to trade Burke, no clue except that they probably think they can get their PG of the future and while Burke is talented they also have C.J Miles and Gordan who are bother taller and better shooters. Teams trade their best players when they get to a point where they know they aren’t going to much further with the player (one example is Iggy being on the trading block and the bobcats trading Jackson and wallace), Add to the fact that they have a coupel fo young bigs who they feel are the future of the franchise. Personally i never been a big fan of Favors and i’d keep Millsap over Favors 10 times out of 10. Ask you’re self this, how often have you seen trades or free agent pick ups where some on is over paid and think " Why the hell would they do that"…………………..Think about that or google worst trades in NBA history then tell me this trade talk seems so far fetched
