Just shy of 24 hours ago, it was reported by Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski that the Atlanta Hawks have taken Paul Millsap off the trade market. The word apparently came for Hawks GM Wes Wilcox:
Sources: Atlanta GM Wes Wilcox has started informing teams today that Paul Millsap is no longer on the trade market.

This all sounds rather gentlemanly. Maybe a bit too gentlemanly, to be honest. It was only last week, after the Hawks dumped favoured son Kyle Korver on, let me see here — [checks paper] — the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers, when Atlanta seemed destined for a tank and rebuild mission.
