Matching Millsap's Offer

It was announced today that the Jazz matched Portland's offer for Millsap. I don't think that this comes as a suprise to anybody, the Jazz have made it extremely clear that they were going to be aggressive in resigning him and they kept their word. The only problem is that the contract is front loaded meaning that they have to pay him about $10 million this next year which puts the Jazz payroll somewhere around the $80million dollar range and WAY over the luxury tax. I don't think that they can handle paying that much money in this small of a market, esspecially with the car business being so crappy this past year. The Miller family's budget probably is a little bit more tight than normal and not a good time to go over the luxury tax. The route it looks like this is going is that the Jazz next move will be to trade Boozer probably for a younger player with a lower contract and relieve some cap space. I guess we will see how it goes over the next few months.....All I can say is that I hope that it happens quick because I am tired of listening to it.
