Detroit closing in on Millsap

[Adrian Wojnarowski]

Report: I'm hearing from a very reputable source within the Thunder organization that Pistons are in advanced talks with Detroit about a deal involving Paul Millsap.  The package would include a personal favorite of GM Loren Colpo Donatas Sobonas, a couple of firsts, and Kelly Olynk.  The new salary cap stipulations have made it a lot tougher to deal this year, and this very well may be the best package the Thunder will be able to garner with Millsap's hefty salary.  That being said the Thunder seem to still be looking around the market to see if they can squeeze a little more out of the all-star.  Detroit has done a very good job of competing throughout the year, but having a fairly low payroll.  Millsap coming in i think immediately make this Pistons team the team to beat out East.  IF anything else develops with Millsap we will let you know, but out guess is there is a 90% chance he is gone by season's end.

Not third party reporting necessary, the Spurs organization will come right out and say they'll pay a hell of a lot better than that for Millsap... We'd love to hear from The Corpulent Colpo.
