Paul Millsap opts out of his contract with #Hawks. One of the best at his position but highly underrated! Interesting where he joins! #NBA

First thing @spurs gotta do in the offseason is release Aldridge. Then try to get Paul Millsap or Chris Paul in free agency

I'd really like to the @nuggets get @Paulmillsap4 best FA I think possible to get that would be an amazing team fit/great combo with Jokic

Paul Millsap gonna be on the Spurs next season. Over 30. Near the end of his prime. Perfect fit. (Also, better than every big on that team)

Paul Millsap opted out because he wants a new max contract. He's not leaving Atlanta. #TrueToAtlanta
