millsap signs offer sheet with portland

[i HATE Rich DeVos 1]

quote:

The Utah Jazz have seven days to match the offer. The terms were not disclosed by the Blazers because of team policy.

 

Millsap's agent did not immediately respond to phone calls and e-mails from the Associated Press seeking comment.

 

Millsap averaged 13.5 points for the Jazz last season, getting double-doubles in 19 straight games while starting for Carlos Boozer, and has career averages of 9.4 points and 6.4 rebounds since the Jazz selected him with the No. 47 pick in the 2006 draft.

 

The Jazz already have high salaries committed to a number of players for next season, including Boozer. He was expected to opt out of his contract and become a free agent, but declined the option and Utah owes him $12.7 million. Deron Williams, Andrei Kirilenko and Mehmet Okur all will earn at least $9 million, meaning the Jazz could be well over the salary cap if they match the offer to Millsap.

 

The Trail Blazers were $7.7 million under the salary cap after the league set it at $57.7 million for next season. The cap is determined by a percentage of league revenue from the previous season.
