Atlanta is not actively shopping the 31-year-old big man, but
is listening to trade offers from other teams in fear of losing
Millsap without compensation next offseason, according to ESPN.
Millsap has a player option worth $21.5 million for the 2017-18
season. He is averaging 17.4 points and 8.0 rebounds through 30
games this year.
The Hawks (17-16) are also listening to offers on swingmen Kyle
Korver and Thabo Sefolosha, per ESPN.

The New Orleans Pelicans waived swingman Reggie Williams.
The seven-year veteran was acquired three weeks ago as injuries
piled up for New Orleans. Williams, 30, appeared in only five
games and averaged 5.0 points and 1.2 rebounds with the
Pelicans.
--
The Hawks assigned forward Mike Scott to the Long Island Nets of
the NBA Development League.
Scott, 28, will be making his third D-League stint as he returns
from a knee injury that cost him training camp and the beginning
of the season.
Scott is averaging 3.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in
11.9 minutes per contest in seven games with the Hawks. Last
season, he averaged 6.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 15.3 minutes in
75 games. (Editing by Larry Fine) ))
