The Atlanta Hawks have begun pursuing the sign-and-trade market for Paul Millsap with the Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings and Denver Nuggets interested.

There was reportedly a revolt in the Hawks' locker room when they put Millsap on the trading block in the middle of the season, which led Mike Budenholzer to make him unavailable.

Budenholzer and Wes Wilcox have since been demoted with Travis Schlenk taking over general manager duties.

The Hawks traded away Dwight Howard on Tuesday, signalling their intentions of rebuilding.
