Nearing free agency in 2017, the Atlanta Hawks showed no intention to hand Paul Millsap a max offer, so the All-Star moved to fresher waters signing a short 2-year deal with the young and talented Denver Nuggets.

Although it is a two-year deal, the Nuggets hold the team option to continue with him for the third season in 2019-20. Unlike others on this list, Millsap has many incentives tied into his deal like making the All-Star team and the All-Defensive team (via Twitter/Bobby Marks).
