Reports: Lakers, Bulls interested in Paul Millsap but as buyout candidate, not trade piece

As Marc Stein reported last week, the Nets would like to get some deep shooting help for Paul Millsap, but so far, there’s been little else to report on the 6’8” power forward who turns 37 at the trade deadline.

Now, both Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report and Mike Scotto of Hoopshype report that two teams are interested in Millsap ... but apparently as a buyout candidate not as a trade piece. The Nets and Millsap agreed to a parting of the ways as Millsap seeks one more chance to extend his career. He fell out of Steve Nash’s rotation early in the season.
