PLAYERS: Paul Millsap
TEAMS: Utah Jazz

by Tom ZillerFiled under: Jazz, NBA Rumors, ThunderThe market for restricted free agent Paul Millsap was expected to be robust in theory, if not in actuality. This is to say Millsap is a highly desired fellow, given his proclivity to rebound like a champ, score efficiently, and defend his tail off at the power forward position. However, as always, a limited pool of clubs will head into July with cap space for next season.The Thunder is one team with space to sign a free agent like Millsap. The team currently falls about $15 million under the cap, and Millsap has been pegged to pull a starting salary around $7-8 million. Oklahoma City can certainly afford to get into that ballpark, should Sam Presti desire to. Ross Siler of the Salt Lake Tribune seems to believe OKC in fact desires Millsap.Paul Millsap to Oklahoma City? originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Mon, 29 Jun 2009 08:55:00 EDT .
