Free agent Golden State Warriors should pursue: Paul Millsap

36-year-old Paul Millsap is ending a massive contract he signed with the Denver Nuggets. He’ll be a free agent this upcoming offseason, and the four-time All-Star should be ready to sign a slew of veteran’s minimum contracts over the next several seasons.

Millsap’s 9.0 points per game were the lowest amount for him since the 2007-2008 season. Coming into this season, he’d had a double-figure average for more than ten seasons. Millsap’s veteran savvy is something the Warriors could use.

On top of that, he’s turned into a solid three-point threat. He shot over 43 percent from deep last season and has shot over 34 percent from deep each of the past four seasons. Spacing the court is something the Warriors should prioritize as well.

Millsap did notch 6.4 points per game in just over 12 minutes of play each game in nine playoffs performances. Translate that to a 36-minute average and Millsap’s production is note-worthy.

Combine the Warriors need for frontcourt players and forward Eric Paschall failing to get back into the rotation following his injury last season, and adding Millsap for at least one season would make a ton of sense for Golden State.
