millsap v griffin

and interest from the fanbase, as well as some additional national coverage. Additionally, Griffin would have been financially cheaper than whatever Millsap is likely to cost at this juncture. Furthermore, Griffin would probably be less averse to sharing time as the backup to Green at PF, whereas you have no such luxury with Millsap. Just some of the surface level obvious points.

but comparing him to Griffin would be like saying a few years back, sign Richard Jefferson or draft LeBron James.

White
Height: 6-9 Weight: 251 lbs. PER – 19.8

Millsap
Height: 6-8 Weight: 245 lbs. PER – 18.6

Hard to compare the two since White hasn’t had as much NBA time. In college White (2.8) blocked better that Millsap (2.3) per 40 minutes. Millsap (14.4) rebounded better that White (10.5). Millsap (21.0) scored more points a game than White (19.4). But White could cost $6M less.

Thoughts?

i can get down with the argument that he is not worth another 6 million, but at the same time that argument only really matters as far as im concerned 3 years down the line when we need to be resigning people. we dont get to carry over cap space, so if you just want to save it for our owner next year, that’s cool, but to use a BS stat i believe to show that white was more efficient that some will use to say he might be better lets not get crazy.

The place where White can become value is if he plays and then we either look at him as a long term part of the future/rotation or makes himself into a cheap trade chip that is desired by others.
