Paul Millsap to return to Hawks

According to Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune, Paul Millsap will re-sign with the Atlanta Hawks.

What It Means:

The Hawks have had a busy day, losing DeMare Carroll, acquiring Tiago Splitter, and retaining Millsap. Millsap had the second highest nERD on the team at 7.1, so keeping him was important for a team looking to build on its success next season. He also added a very solid 101 defensive rating on a team that ranked 7th in defensive rating in the NBA. They'll need to replace Carroll and his 5.8 nERD, but they'll be contenders again in the east next year.
