Suitors for Utah's Millsap include, Thunder, Pistons, Blazers

By Joe Zedalis

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, the Utah Jazz believe there is a market for bruising big man Paul Millsap(notes).

According to the Tribune, the list of potential suitors for Millsap is expected to possibly include Oklahoma City, Detroit and Portland. The Thunder are believed to be looking for a physical post player — Anderson Varejao is another name — and will have $11 million or so in cap space to sign a player. They are expected to spend this summer.

    Millsap could turn the Thunder into playoff contender. Their future is looking bright like the Trailblazers and the GSW once did.

    I agree with allen p- especially if Boozer is not available, I would love to see Millsap in the D.
    Varejao, haha! If being a "physical post player" involves mainly flopping and diving on contact, than Sideshow Bob can get physical with the best of them!

    Would love to see Millsap in Big D, even more than Boozer. Millsap stepped up last year and proved he could put up similiar numbers as Boozer with the playing time. He would cost close to half the money as Boozer which would allow da pistons to go after a starting center(Tyson Chandler anybody?) Than the pistons could go with PG-stuckey SG- RIP SF-Prince PF-Millsap C-Chandler

    millsap should go to theblazers!!! he is exactly what they need. a physical player who can rebound at will and who can score in the paint he would be real nice coming off the bench behind aldridge

    Why would Millsap go to a team where he would come off the bench if he could stay with the Jazz and do the same thing?

    MILLSAP DO NOT LEAVE UTAH!! you are ten times better than boozer, and after this year you could easily become our big man when boozer "exercises his right" to ruin his career like karl malone.
