Paul Millsap met with Orlando just after the start of free agency and will decide between the Hawks and the Magic, according to a person familiar with the situation. The two-time All-Star power forward has an offer from both teams.

NBA.com’s David Aldridge first reported Millsap met with the Magic at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. ESPN’s Chris Broussard reported that both the Hawks and Magic have made Millsap a four-year, $80 million offer.

Millsap has been the Hawks best player since signing a two-year, $19 million contract as a free agent in 2013. The power forward made the All-Star team both seasons and averaged 17.3 points and 8.1 rebounds.

Millsap said following the season that he felt comfortable in Atlanta and would take into account the success of the Hawks but would weigh all his options in free agency.
