I don't know about that contract, that's a pretty good amount of money for a guy who hasn't proven himself as a starter and especially for someone that will be the backup PF.

Good move for Portland, but Utah will match.

I don't see how they can since they certainly don't want to pay dollar for dollar in luxury tax unless they're somehow able to clear enough salary by trading Boozer but I doubt they'll be able to create enough room.

I actually think he has proven himself as a starter. When Boozer went down, he was pulling down double doubles like it was nothing. I'm not entirely sold on him, but I would have offered him around that money. He deserves it. He was actually one of the most overlooked players last year. I remember last year there was a point where Millsap was actually considered for the All-star game, but coaches decided to pick David West over him.

Getting any player from Utah would be concerning to me if I was a GM. Especially one that hasn't played for another team. Often a player's success is tied to the system they run. Sloan knows how to maximaze the talent he has because he knows what what he needs to succeed. Giving Milsap a big chunk of cheese is a gamble IMO.
