    they need to find a trade partner though quickly.
    We can offer our services in a s+t for some compensation.

    It's not Millsap but we can profit from this.
    Splitter + Hardaway + one of those young wings + 1 2nd rounder is what I would ask. Or else their future first rounder.

    would love it if we did this, and the Howard/Horford/Milsap lineup doesn't work and they end up trading Milsap to us later using their own assets.

    i think we still go for the pupu plater and get an asset out of ATL. no other FA out there worth getting if Horford isn't coming here.

    I'll never understand rich famous athletes?. "Oh I'm making millions but let's hurt my team by trading away solid players so I can make extra millions "

    Millsap would help us so much. He's a complete player, we only hoped our experiments of Tjones, Smith, Capela, Dmo, and even Dwight to an extent, could contribute

    i'm just curious what atlanta plans to do with millsap, dwight, and horford. Seems a bit ridiculous. Unless they plan on having one of them coming off the bench which is still stupid

    At the february trade deadline Rockets should look to trade Ryan Anderson for Paul Millsap. Millsap will be a UFA so he will be able to slightly dictate what teams he will go to because he can leave in the summer.

    Anderson makes sense for the Hawks getting someone on a long term contract that can work with Dwight.

    Harden and Millsap would be a perfect combination.

    Apparently Milsap might still be available even after Horford's decision. Denver is making a run for him
