Millsap was almost traded to the Lakers.

Millsap for Clarkson and Randle....

Jeanie is pretty smart.   Why the heck would they do that?

That team lacks leadership.   You put a vet on that team with the coach that they have and he's liable to win some games.   A vet other than World Metta Peace.

Geez, Jeannie we get it.  Your brother was an idiot.  No need to make up these rumors months after the fact.

There's no way ATL said yes to that and were waiting for LAL to respond.  Likely that was a trade on their dry-erase board and she wiped it off with her hand when she couldn't find the little eraser.

Non-story.

SOLD!

That would have been such a dumb Laker trade.

If that were to actually happen, I hate it for both sides. It's good it got shot down.

Thought I had heard something similar from before. This article from last August.

Would have absolutely gobbled that trade up if it were true.

Except that article is using a Hawks FAN site - Soaring Down South - as a basis for the rumor.

If true, damn you Jeannie.  Can't say #Budcox ain't trying.

Saying I remember hearing something from last year, nothing more. This referenced so called interest with Phoenix in an article last July about comments from Chris Haynes. Haynes operates out of NYC.

When Chris Haynes reported the Hawks and Suns had spoken about a potential Millsap trade for a draft pick package, it made sense financially, at the time, to make room for Al Horford and Dwight Howard. Even after Horford signed with Boston later that day, a trade involving Millsap still could make sense. Now, before Hawks fans lose their collective minds about shipping out the other half of their All-Star frontcourt tandem, let’s review the NBA landscape.
