If I had my pick of the two, I would prefer Millsap... But I also think he would be the hardest to get and who Utah will ultimately try to keep... I really think if you were to put him in this environment, he would flourish and develop into an All-Star big... A multi-faceted player who could play the pick-and-pop and get buckets on the low-block on this team would be huge... He's also a decent defender and a very good rebounder... Al Jefferson, I'm not really high on but I recognize the value of his low-post scoring ability combined with age... And that intersection of where he's at with those two things is rare to be available, which is why he's attractive..
I guess the point of this thread wasn't more so about trade ideas or about the Utah big mean...
The root of the question is my main concern going forward: where do the Cavs get their future low-post player?
The Cavs are at a point where I don't think they're crappy enough to get a high pick to get a Zeller or McAdoo and I don't think the draft is deep enough to have a talent of the type of ability they need, fall to them in the later portion of the lotto... Historically, that's not where you get your impact players....And even looking forward down the road two years from now, I think you'll start to see this team looking to leap out of the lottery... Obviously that's a lot of projection but like I said, my main concern is where this team is going to find this piece.. I'm having a hard time seeing it, which is why I brought up Utah...
