With his second steal last night against the Chicago Bulls, KD joined Dwight Howard, LeBron James and his teammate Paul Millsap as the only active players with 1000+ career steals and 1000+ career blocks.

>Veteran Paul Millsap is still out there in free agency. Have heard both Golden State and Brooklyn are interested, per source.
I thought he was going to Boston with all the shamrocks he was posting lol
>Btw I had no idea you could clean water 🤔😂
>Random question: If the earth is made up of 71% water then why do we get a water bill every month? 🤔
>The water thing was a joke but a lot of people are taking it serious. We pay a lot of taxes to to have to pay to flush the toilet. Just saying 🤷🏾♂️
>Along with Brooklyn and Golden State, the Bulls are pursuing free-agent forward Paul Millsap, sources said. Millsap, a battle-tested 15-year NBA veteran, finished a four-year stint in Denver in which the Nuggets had a 64.7 percent winning percentage and reached the Western Conference finals in 2020. At 35, Millsap’s steal and block rates per 36 minutes were in line with his career average, and last season, his 56.5 percent true shooting percentage was around his career average.
>In Brooklyn, Millsap would compete for a starting power forward role alongside Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden.

Full Quote:
> Golden State has been the team most often linked by league sources to Paul Millsap, arguably the most consequential free agent left. Yet while the 36-year-old former All-Star has drawn interest from the Warriors, Hawks, Nets, Pelicans, 76ers and Timberwolves, no team sources contacted by Bleacher Report indicated any contract agreement with Millsap has come close to the finish line.
> Millsap could very well end up being this year's Nic Batum, a skilled mercenary who rounds out a playoff unit's starting lineup or top of their rotation in a reduced role. He has fans across the league, but Millsap's conversations with teams this summer have revolved around salary figures at or near the $5.9 million tax-payer mid-level exception, sources said.
> The teams most often rumored to have interest in Millsap also have other needs to address. Chris Chiozza is the only true point guard stashed on Golden State's roster behind Stephen Curry. Minnesota is said to be prioritizing re-signing restricted free-agent swingman Jarred Vanderbilt. The Sixers, Hawks, Pelicans and Nets don't have an open roster spot.
> "I think he's gonna be a minimum or a midseason guy," said one veteran front office voice. "What's the rush? The money wouldn't get much better, and he can just pick his team. What if New Orleans is really good come January? What happens when some guy gets hurt, and that team starts scrambling for a replacement? He can pick his spot."
Bay Area News Group's Wes Goldberg also reported about Paul Millsap and the Warriors yesterday as well:
> According to a league source, the Warriors spoke with veteran forward Paul Millsap’s representation earlier this month. Although those talks did not advance to the point of anything material, the Warriors have not shut the door on potentially adding the 36-year-old Millsap.
E: Quick Reminder:
- We only have 1 roster spot left with The Athletic's Anthony Slater reporting earlier that Damion Lee has secured the 14th spot on the roster. Millsap wo
Apparently Ian Eagle mentioned it on the broadcast. That’s a big loss considering we are out Claxton right now also.

> Paul Millsap on why he joined Brooklyn:
> “It was the hardest decision I’ve ever made. I wanted to be part of the right team. Kyrie, james and Kevin make the game so much easier. Playing with the other young talented guys too. It’s a recipe for a championship”
Hardest decision ever made is apparently whether or not to become a ring chaser lol

Although I don’t think B/R is very credible. I would love to see Paul come back.
With his first [block](https://www.nba.com/stats/events/?GameEventID=408&GameID=0022100448&Season=2021-22&flag=1&title=James%20BLOCK%20(1%20BLK)&sct=plot) of the game, LeBron James joins Paul Millsap and his teammate Dwight Howard as the only active players with 1000+ blocks and 1000+ steals.
Millsap's teammate Kevin Durant is just 10 steals away from joining the group.
