The Denver Nuggets may have their power forward continuity going from bad to worse, as Jared Weiss of The Athletic is reporting that the Boston Celtics are showing “strong interest” in free agent Paul Millsap.
The Celtics are showing strong interest in former Nuggets big man Paul Millsap, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA. Millsap provides a veteran presence who fills an important need for the Celtics as they look to strengthen roster in the wake of Gordon Hayward’s departure.

The 35 year old Millsap is no longer the All Star power forward he once was, but can still fill a vital role as a big man on a contender in limited minutes, and happens to be the one power forward that Denver can still allocate money to, as they have his Bird Rights and can pay him essentially whatever they choose if he re-signs with them.
