DeMarre Carroll & Paul Millsap MEGA thread

[Nicholasp27]

Noooooooooo

We should let him walk if he won't take eb contract

We will not win more than 50 games if we don't have DMC

I'd rather keep DMC than Millsap

Not good

[Afro]

We can't afford Carroll now right?

So we're not even keeping the same team as last year. We're putting Thabo in the starting lineup?

Oy.

[JETSET]

Sorry, If I'm the Hawks give Sap a hearty pat on the back on his way to sunny central FL.

I kind of agree. 

 

I ask him to pull a Draymond Green and take the early bird max, so we can keep his buddy Demarre, or he can have fun on a rebuilding team in Orlando.

 

A frontline of Millsap/Vucevic will be awful on the defensive end.

I really hope Millsap secretly hates Atlanta and wants to go to Orlando

GO AWAY PAUL IF YOURE READING THIS. WE DONT WANT YOU HERE

[Dejay]

$20 million a year. Wow. Just wow...

[HawkItus]

And that royally sucks.

Until we move some folks as Arnovitz suggested.

[Static]

Can we stop pretending that Bud at GM is a good move now?

Moving Scott and Mack isn't gonna be easy. Neither player has Spiltter value where teams really want them. Trading a future 1st to keep DMC is dumb. 

[Carmine]

I lost some confidence in Millsap after he got tossed around like a ragdoll in the postseason. Hooray to four more seasons of watching him get punked by Tristan Thompson.

Not easy, but doable.

Ferry haters are the only ones who ever pretended this in the first place.

Bud is not the GM though, its Wes Wilcox. Just saying.

Bud is president of Bball Ops.

If Teague gets you Okafor, then you have to do it. it's hard to find bigs with that much potential. Okafor can turn into an Aldridge type player at a much cheaper starting salary. He's got star potential.

 

Point guard is our deepest position, and Teague (although very good) does not have the killer instinct. Schröder is already a better penetrator, but needs to work on finishing and his outside shot. He has the same issues that Teague had early on, but he is more of a floor general. Schröder wants to direct traffic, and I think that's a a good trait.

 

Teague is the better player now, but in a a few years he won't be. A team with Schröder, Korver, DMC, Horford, and Okafor is nasty, and I'd take it in a heartbeat.

 

I think its just conjecture at this point, but maybe Okafor is unhappy enough to force something like this.

Wilcox looks like a choir boy and looks nervous in interviews.  I don't see how anyone expects him to be a hard bargainer.

Why on earth would Philly do that trade? 

 

People keep bringing up Teague for Okafor when it makes zero sense for Philly.  Stop dreaming.

Dragic 5yrs/$90 mil at age 30.

Must be Halloween or Oprah giveaway special - max contracts like candy and cars.

Won't a max deal now be a bargain once the cap goes up in a year when the new TV money kicks in?

From Steve Broussard

 

http://7online.com/sports/magic-hawks-offer-all-star-paul-millsap-maximum-contract/820976/

Paul Millsap met with the Orlando Magic at 12:01 Wednesday morning and was offered a maximum four-year, $80 million deal, according to league sources.

Millsap, an All-Star with the Atlanta the past two seasons, now will decide between the Magic and the Hawks, who have offered him the same contract, sources said.

A decision could come as early as Wedne

 

sday.
