This is one of those deals that might look good now but will be an anchor in 2 years. Portland shoulda took a chance letting him see what he could get in free-agency.

They did not have the cap space to offer much more than they did. When signing their own players, the were not facing the same restrictions. And to everyone else: the Blazers cap space was long gone. Unless LMA signed for MLE-type money (not happening) the Blazers were not going to have cap space next year (or ever again). The only real questions for the Blazers is plotting out their salary options over the next five years and then asking Paul Allen how much tax money is he willing to pay to keep his current players happy – or just to ensure they keep them at all. bigdoggchad, they DID offer all they could to Milsap.

They were better off offering this money to Millsap so the Jazz couldn't match. 65 million for a guy who is averaging less than 7 rebounds a game for his career.

Portland will never get that trophy they are looking for with deals like this. I like LA’s game but dude is worth 9 Million on a good day. 13 is just too much for 5 years.

The question is, will he grow into it? Portland was obviously willing to take the gamble. He is currently not worth that contract. The question is, will he grow into it?
