Although they have strengthened their interior line in the offseason, after more than half of this season, the Nets have found that the only available soldiers in the box is Aldridge, Griffin is quite old, and the new signing Millsap has recently been directly given to the DNP by Nash. Earlier, according to NBA name Shams, Millsap had agreed to break up with the Nets, and the Nets would find a team for Millsap that he could contribute more.
The 36-year-old Millsap, who was able to contribute to an average of 9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game during his nuggets last season, after the expiration of his contract in the offseason, it was rumored that the Warriors, Bulls, and Lakers were interested in him, but Millsap finally ran to the Nets with a base salary of 2.64 million, thinking that he would become the answer to the team's interior line, but the state of the sharp decline, Millsap is indeed a little weak, the last 12 games, in addition to January 14 against the Thunder to get 19 minutes of playing time, Millsap failed to play the remaining 11 games, and as happened to Griffin, Nash preferred to give young Sharp, Clarkston, and Edwards more playing time than to put them on the bench.
As of now, Millsap averages only 3.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, shooting as low as 37.6%, which is a career low, given his age, and the influence of both offensive and defensive ends is far less than before in the Nuggets, if this time by the Nets to give up, I am afraid that I really have to say goodbye to my playing career in advance. It is true that the Nets did verbally promise Millsap to find a suitable home for him to develop, but like Millsap, a twilight veteran who wants to attack without offense and defend without defense, strong teams and weak teams will basically not be interested in him, and the position will be very awkward to go to a midstream team.
I don't know if Millsap has begun to regret not joining the Bulls now, confused by the Nets' big three, the result has not yet played a game on the court with Durant, Irving, Harden, and now he has to be abandoned to sweep out, the 36-year-old Millsap, ended up late, to some extent, he "blamed himself".
