Paul Millsap signed a three-year, $90 million contract with the Denver Nuggets late Sunday night, following a familiar path out of Atlanta that past teammates DeMarre Carroll and Al Horford.
(The news was first reported by The Vertical and will not be made official until the NBA lifts its moratorium on July 6.)
The final piece of Atlanta’s 60-win team in 2015 now leaves the Hawks’ new front office in a possible rebuilding mode.
