(Trade Value: F)

Millsap received 23 minutes of playing time in two games at the very end of the season, and with it, an unguaranteed contracted in 2017-18. Unlikely to make the roster at the start of the 2017-18 season, Millsap’s trade value is at an extreme minimum. Even if he were to make the roster and earn the $1.5M his contract is worth, team’s are likely not to have any interest in acquiring the 29-year-old for anything more than to jump the salary floor and immediately wave him. Phoenix couldn’t even get a second round pick for him if they tried. For his sake, hopefully he makes the team and gets that one big paycheck in his career ($1.5M is about five times more than he has ever made in the NBA in one season), although he likely wouldn’t ever leave the Suns for anything valuable in return.
