The Atlanta Hawks completed a trade for center-forweard Tiago Splitter on Thursday and also re-signed All-Star Paul Millsap.
The 30-year-old Millsap, an unrestricted free agent, reached an agreement last week with the Hawks on a three-year, $58.9 million contract. The two-time All-Star played for Atlanta the past two seasons and helped the Hawks reach the Eastern Conference finals this year.
During the 2014-15 season, Millsap led the Hawks with averages of 16.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.8 steals while making a career-high 77 3-pointers.
“His toughness, versatility, high basketball IQ and unselfishness (are) representative of the culture we are building,” Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said in a statement. “We are excited that he will remain a part of our family.”
The Hawks obtained Splitter last week from the San Antonio Spurs in a deal for the draft rights to Georgios Printezis and a future second-round pick.
In five seasons with the Spurs, Splitter averaged 8.3 points and 5.3 rebounds. He has two years and $16.8 million remaining on his contract.
The Hawks cleared roster space for Splitter by waiving forward Austin Daye. Atlanta also lost starting guard DeMarre Carroll to Toronto in free agency but acquired guard Tim Hardaway Jr. in a trade with New York.
Splitter is expected to be part of a frontcourt rotation with Millsap and Al Horford next season.
