"There has been widespread speculation the Pistons may be a trade partner, with either Richard Hamilton or Tayshaun Prince being part of the package going to the Jazz. However, over the last two days, (Pistons basketball boss Joe) Dumars has indicated his reluctance to move either Hamilton or Prince in a deal for Boozer."

Elsewhere, Memphis' reported trade of swingman Quentin Richardson to the Los Angeles Clippers for power forward Zach Randolph on Wednesday seemingly eliminates the Grizzlies as Millsap suitors.

Meanwhile, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday that "there are conflicting reports on how much the Knicks are willing to spend on (restricted free agent power forward David) Lee ... (but) a team source claims the Knicks will offer Lee a four-year deal worth $32 million, which is below his asking price of $10 million per season."

Lee's desired numbers are the basis for Millsap's similar tag.

And Yahoo.com reported Wednesday that Orlando backup center "Marcin Gortat's agent is telling teams he already has a full midlevel offer" — a multi-year deal starting at more than $5 million. Houston made the offer, one NBA agent said.

All of which leaves Millsap waiting for his own offer.

"(Whether) that comes today or tomorrow," Vartanian said, "you still have to look at what's best for Paul."
