The Argument For Acquiring Paul Milsap

For several days now, reports have been out there that Hawks forward Paul Milsap is being shopped around by Atlanta. A few days after that, some reports linked him to the New Orleans Pelicans. And, a few days after that, it was said New Orleans was reportedly not interested because they would have to pay BOTH assets to acquire him and a hefty salary to keep him. In the meantime, Pelicans fans, writers, and message board visitors have chimed in with their two cents on whether the Pelicans should pursue the soon-to-be 32 year-old power forward.

The opinions seem to be fairly mixed, with the side not wanting to trade for Milsap focused on his age and hefty price tag, along with reluctancy to give up a first round pick in a seemingly good draft.
