With the Atlanta Hawks seemingly not open to offering him a huge deal, there were some teams who were trying to lock him up for big money and possibly for shorter terms. Millsap is reportedly going to get his money but he’ll have to go out west to do it.
Paul Millsap is heading back to the midwest as he agrees to a deal with the Denver Nuggets.

Millsap started his career with the Utah Jazz and blossomed into a fringe all-star forward but he had to go to the eastern conference to get the recognition he deserved. During his time with the Hawks, Millsap was named to the NBA All-Star game four times and the NBA All-Defensive team once.
