8. Paul Millsap, UFA

UPDATE: Paul Millsap has agreed to a three-year, $59 million contract with the Atlanta Hawks.

Paul Millsap has experienced an incredible late-career surge with the Atlanta Hawks. He’s always been a star-caliber player—see: Utah Jazz years—but has never received praise for it.

Now a two-time All-Star, Millsap’s value has been established as extraordinary.

Millsap was one of the stars of the 60-win Hawks in 2014-15, which pushes him up a few notches on this list. The fact that he can shoot, go to the post, crash the boards and defend with physicality helps, as well.

Millsap has a very good shot at receiving his first career max contract.
