6. Paul Millsap
I have a hard time coming up with a list of teams that will be willing to extend a max contract offer to Paul Millsap, including the Atlanta Hawks. First things first, I fully expect Millsap to leave Atlanta this summer.
Felt like as soon as Al Horford decided to leave, the writing was on the wall. Millsap should’ve been traded at the deadline, and now will walk for nothing. Shame on you, Atlanta. Either way, Millsap is going to make close to max money, probably and that means $30-plus million per year. Woof.
I think Millsap will end up on either the Phoenix Suns or Denver Nuggets. Those are the two teams that I assume will offer the most money.
Predictions: Denver Nuggets
