Millsap had seriously considered the Bulls, giving up a higher salary to join the Nets

The Nets signed Paul Millsap on a salary note.

According to Bulls reporter KC-Johnson, Millsap seriously considered the Bulls before signing the contract. The Bulls also have a biennial exception of about 3.7 million and a transaction exception of 5.1 million, which can fully give a higher contract.

But Millsap, who will turn 37 this season, chose 2.6 million to join the Nets, which has a greater chance of winning the championship and may also provide a starting position or more playing time.
