With Al Horford having yet to decide whether he was going to re-sign with the
franchise or not, the Atlanta Hawks, if only for a short period of time,
tossed around the idea of trading All-Star power forward Paul Millsap.
在先前Al Horford尚未決定是否與老鷹續約時，老鷹隊已經拋出交易全明星大前鋒Paul M
ilsap的idea。
Two teams Atlanta discussed deals with were the Toronto Raptors and Houston
Rockets, according to ESPN's Zach Lowe.
根據ESPN記者，正與老鷹討論交易的是暴龍與火箭。
The Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns were also reportedly in the mix, with
Denver offering a package comprised of players and picks, including starter
Kenneth Faried.
金塊與太陽也正在這場討論當中。金塊可能提供球員與選秀權，包括半獸人。
Horford ultimately elected to take his talents to the Boston Celtics on a max
contract worth $113 million over four years, which reportedly stemmed from
his disinterest in teaming with Dwight Howard in Atlanta's frontcourt.
Horford對於將與魔獸在老鷹隊前場搭檔興趣缺缺，因此最終選擇與塞爾蒂克簽下4年1.13
億的合約。
Millsap, 31, is one of the more well-rounded bigs in the NBA today, pairing a
sound offensive repertoire with elite defending on the opposite end. He
averaged 17.1 points, nine rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.7 blocks
last season for the 48-34 Hawks, and was the only player in the league to
finish in the top-12 in both steals and rejections.
31歲的Millsap作為當今NBA最具技巧的長人之一，在攻防兩端都有不錯的表現。上季老鷹
戰績48勝34敗，他場均17.1分9籃板3.3助攻1.8抄截與1.7阻攻，是聯盟當中唯一在抄截與
阻攻排行榜上都排名前12名的球員。
The Raptors have a giant hole at the four spot that Millsap could have easily
filled. Despite winning 56 games last season with Luis Scola, the Eastern
Conference finalists need an upgrade to pair with Jonas Valanciunas, and
preferably one who can stretch the floor like Millsap can.
暴龍則是在4號位上有所缺乏，Millsap則剛好能夠補上。雖然上季暴龍在有Luis Scola的
情況下拿下56勝，這支上季打入東區冠軍賽的球隊仍然需要在內線有所升級，與Jonas Va
lanciunas能有所搭配，最好是像Millsap這種能力的球員。
Houston locked up some new blood at power forward themselves, coming to terms
on a reported four-year, $80-million deal with Ryan Anderson.
火箭則是希望能夠在大前鋒的位置上注入新血，因此先前才與Ryan Anderson簽下4年8000
萬的合約。
