NBA 2019-20: 5 biggest expiring contracts this season

#2 Paul Millsap (Denver Nuggets): $30,350,000 for 2019-20

Denver Nuggets picked up their team option for Millsap

Paul Millsap has been one of the most consistent and somewhat underrated players in the NBA for the last 5-6 years. He has been the rock for both the Atlanta Hawks and now the Denver Nuggets, coming up with the goods right when it was needed.

He played 70 games last season but as age catches up with the 34-year-old Millsap, his minutes have reduced. He played just 27 minutes per game last season and yet was putting up some great numbers, averaging 12.6 points and 7.2 rebounds.

What Millsap lacks in flashiness, he makes up for it with his constant grind, both offensively and defensively. He is a floor stretching big man that can defend the rim as well as multiple positions, putting his versatility on display.

Millsap could be a useful player, come playoffs for a strong contender that needs a solid big man on the court, for example the Los Angeles Clippers.

He can shoot the 3 really well, creating space in the paint or he can clog up the paint and create space for elite shooters on the perimeter. Demand for Millsap will be high, but with Denver making a push for the title themselves, he will be a great complimentary player to their already solid lineup.
