Beijing time on August 25, according to Bleacher Report reporter Jake Fischer, the experienced big man Paul Millsap is currently one of the loudest names in the NBA free agent market, and although there are many teams interested in him, he is not in a hurry to sign a new contract. Of all the suitors, the Golden State Warriors have the closest ties to Millsap. Still, Millsap's favorite team is the Nets, as he claims he has a chance to beat James in the playoffs if he can team up with Durant.
In addition to the Golden State Warriors and Brooklyn Nets, Millsap has attracted interest from the Atlanta Hawks, New Orleans Pelicans, Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves. Even so, as Millsap tried to find a suitable position for him, no agreement was reached. The Denver Nuggets could also consider bringing him back, but it looks like the 36-year-old wants more money than they're willing to offer. The Nuggets' total salary is about $3.5 million below the luxury tax line, and he reportedly wants a contract worth at least $5.9 million.
When asked if he would consider the Los Angeles Lakers, Millsap said he had no interest in it. What he prefers to do is to become an opponent with James and beat the team he leads in the playoffs, because in the 15 years of his career, he has always won less and lost more in the record against James' teams, especially when he was in the Eagles, James made them breathless in the East, and so far, his Eagles' former teammate Jeff Teager has not been able to win a victory in the playoffs from James' head.
Millsap was named an All-Star four times in a row for the Atlanta Hawks from 2014 to 2017, and his scoring drops every year after the Nuggets. However, while he may no longer be what he once was, as a key veteran he can still make an impact in a smaller role. Obviously, a lot of teams are willing to let him join, but he wants to make sure he finds a more suitable position for himself in his NBA career. For Millsap, the Nets are clearly a better option.
As long as he joins the Nets, he will have a great chance of beating his opponents when he faces James' team, and the Nets also hope that Millsap will join because his defense will be able to take some of the pressure off griffin, especially after their loss to the Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals. In this way, Millsap can also wash away the past mistakes with a bloody shame. When Mikami joined the Nets, it was the day he took revenge on James.
