Paul Millsap

Ideal destination: Denver Nuggets

With Danilo Gallinari already looking like he will leave, the Nuggets will have space to add another player to their talented roster. The Nuggets have a young core of great backcourt players and the big dog, Nikola Jokic.

Jokic is a big who can do it all on the offensive end. However, his defensive limitations make it hard to find the perfect frontcourt match. Enter stage right, Paul Millsap.

Millsap is an elite defender. Last season, he was on the all-defensive second team. According to ESPN real plus/minus, Millsap was the fifth best defensive power forward. This helped him add eleven wins to the Atlanta Hawks.
