Utah Jazz match Portland offer to Millsap

Nice. Now if we can just get rid of The Mercenary.

The Jazz have way over paid. This deal will keep the team down for four years, just like AK's deal is right now.

You are crazy. We better hear about a trade with the Blazer by tomorrow.

not too bright

Great news. and good bye Boozer if not this year then next summer

I don't know what to think about this. If I think about how happy it makes Dwill then I like it. If I think about the salary cap this year then I don't.

if Boozer and Millsap come back, and we stay healthy, this may be the best move value-wise.

He's not worth it! He is a $6 million a year player....not an $8 or $9 million a year player! The Jazz are destroying their future.

Better deal than the one Cleveland gave Varejo and much better than Varejo. Wait till the guy is getting quality minutes and has a decent backup. Depending on who they can bring in you could actually bring AK off the bench at the four that is considering we could get a two guard and move R Brewer to three.

I expect Portland to work a trade for Boozer now...

Great, the Jazz are showing they are satisfied with the status quo or less and are willing to spend a ton of money to do it. They will never beat the elite teams in the west with this team. Let's top it off by taking the moronic Miami trade for Boozer to make up some of that money. I'm done commenting except to say I told you so.

Like I've said... the Jazz would be stupid not to match this. The contract looks scary because it's frontloaded, but the last three years are not bad at all. Good move by the Jazz.

I like the deal better than sending Milsap to Portland and keeping Boozer for 1 year. I just hope the Jazz can get a decent trade for Boozer.

Millsap's contract is definitely better than the one Boozer signed 4 years ago

Wow, just when I thought Jazz management couldn't be any stupider....

Then again, why am I surprised? This is the same front office that is actually (according to the rumor) considering trading Boozer for Haslem. There has got to be something I am not aware of, or else it is true that the people running the Jazz are in fact the dumbest people on earth. I think it's about time I find a new team....Spurs?

wants him back. I doubt we know more than D-Will about this kind of stuff.

First off Millsap will be a value after his first year with a salary in the 6 to 7 million. Secondly DWill wants Millsap to stay so it had to be done, and thirdly why do the fans care about the luxury tax and salary tax? It's not like we have to pay the bill. I just hope that the Jazz are patient and get the right offer for Boozer. THe Miami one is a horrible trade for the Jazz. They need to get equal or close to it. If they have to bring back Boozer because no good trades than do it. Boozer will have a monster year because he wants a big contract and raise. Let him have that monster year in Utah and The Jazz can be the Mercenaries instead of BOozer for once,

You can't say "I told you so." The summer isn't even over, yet.

$10M for a backup. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!

Paul really is getting just under 7mil for the four years. Look at it like this, he has contributed a bunch to our success the past 2 years making only 3/4mil each year and in comparison to the other players in this league that play 25 min per game that is peanuts. So in essence look at it like he got his bonus for the last 2 years of quality play in this contract. Now he can support his family that follows him here each year and (he is their bread winner) live like some of the other lower tier players. This bonus of 5mil deducted from the 32mil makes his contract 4 years for 27mil, which amounts to just under 7mil per season. I like it and so should you fans.
