Should the #Jazz and #Spurs starting talking trade?: http://t.co/5c7OTuoJ


By Trevor Zickgraf, Project Spurs.com

One thing we know for sure about the San Antonio Spurs' offseason is that the team will re-sign Tim Duncan sometime on or shortly after July 11th.  After that, the Spurs' offseason is a bit of a crap shoot.  They have a couple of guys, Danny Green and Boris Diaw that we presume they'd like re-sign and a couple of European players, Nando De Colo and Erazem Lorbek, who reportedly would like to come state side next season.  That's four players and not a ton of money or roster space for all of them.  There's also news out of Utah, where Danny Green thinks he'd be a good fit, that Jazz forward Paul Millsap is looking for a contract extension.  This leads me to wonder if Utah would be interested in discussing some sort of swap involving Millsap if they thought Green was their shooting guard in the future.

Let's be clear, Millsap and Green are not equal players.  Millsap is a near All-Star who is in the prime of his career.  Utah is sure to re-sign him, right?  Maybe not because Utah already has two big men in Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter that could end up being better than Millsap (Favors maybe even next season).  Woudln't Utah rather trade Millsap to improve their team in other ways?  The Spurs don't want to lose Green, but if Utah offers him $4 or $5 million a year should the Spurs match?
