NBA Trade Rumors: Paul Millsap To Celtics? Hawks Asking For Jae Crowder And Jaylen Brown

Paul Millsap is currently involved in an NBA trade rumors, where Atlanta Hawks are reportedly shopping him out. Reports show that Millsap would probably land to the Boston Celtics as both teams are looking for a roster settlement before the post-season starts.

According to the NESN, the Atlanta Hawks management is ready to send Paul Millsap and is looking towards a deal with the Boston Celtics. The Hawks might already learn a lesson last season when Al Horford signed with the Celtics and leave the Hawks with nothing.

Paul Millsap recently announced that he won't be returning to the Hawks this coming off-season and will test the free agency as an unrestricted NBA free agent. One of the rumored reasons is his dropping numbers since the team sign Dwight Howard last summer.

In a press release by the Blasting News, Paul Millsap is currently being dealt with the Boston Celtics. According to the report, the Hawks are asking for Jae Crowder, Jaylen Brown along with a second round pick for 2018.

It's no surprise that Millsap will opt not to re-sign next season with the Hawks, the team seemed to be playing with no commitment to the playoffs as their core players are starting to go out. They already released Jeff Teague last season and let Horford go without an equal replacement.

Aside from Paul Millsap, the Kyle Korver, and Thabo Sefolosha are also in their contract year. The Hawks seem very doubtful if both players would return as well, so all these three players are rumored to be on the Hawks trading block.
