Nuggets get Paul Millsap for three years, $90 million

Paul Millsap (4)

NEW YORK: A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that Paul Millsap has agreed to terms with the Denver Nuggets on a three-year deal worth $90 million.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract cannot be signed until Thursday.
The 32-year-old Millsap gives the young Nuggets a proven, defensive-minded veteran who should fit perfectly with coach Michael Malone and budding star Nikola Jokic. Millsap is a four-time All-Star who averaged a career-high 18.1 points last season with the Atlanta Hawks to go with 7.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists.
Free agent swingman Andre Iguodala has agreed a three-year deal to remain with the NBA champion Golden State Warriors, with the 33-year-old reserve confirming the move on Twitter.
“Sources close to Andre Iguodala reporting agreed to terms to return to the bay....” Iguodala tweeted, a poke at the uncertainty surrounding all news in the first days of the NBA’s 2017-18 free agency frenzy.
Iguodala’s deal, worth $48 million (€42 million) according to multiple reports, comes after he met with the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets.
The Warriors are working to retain the core of a club that has won two NBA crowns in three seasons and came within a game of sweeping all three.
Golden State agreed to terms on the richest contract in NBA history with a five-year “supermax” deal worth $201 million to star guard Stephen Curry, the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player reaping the benefits of a salary cap jump and a willingness to take less than he could make elsewhere to keep the Warriors a title contender and on budget.
That’s much the same decision that appears to have been made by NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant, who left Oklahoma City for Golden State in a free agent deal last July.
Durant opted out of his contract so the Warriors had more money to pay top reserves Iguodala and Shaun Livingston but is expected to rejoin the club. He would likely command a huge deal next year but his sacrifice this season keeps the nucleus of a championship dynasty together for another campaign.
Elsewhere, Spanish free agent forward Serge Ibaka agreed to a three-year deal worth $65 million to stay with the Toronto Raptors, ESPN and the Toronto Star reported. Ibaka averaged 14.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in 23 games after being traded from Orlando.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who lost to Golden State in the finals for the second time in three seasons last month, reached deals to keep 3-point sharpshooter Kyle Korver and add Spanish reserve point guard Jose Calderon.
The Cavs reached a three-year deal with Korver worth $22 million, ESPN reported, while Calderon has a one-year deal. Korver averaged 10.1 points a game for Atlanta and Cleveland but could not match that mark in the playoffs.
Minnesota and forward Taj Gibson agreed to a two-year deal worth $28 million, according to multiple reports, that reunites Gibson with former coach Tom Thibodeau.
They were together from 2010 to 2015 with the Chicago Bulls, along with Jimmy Butler, who was traded by Chicago to the T-Wolves last month. Gibson was traded to Oklahoma City by the Bulls last season.
