Terry Mills, the first-round draft choice the Denver Nuggets thought they were getting in a deal that sent Danny Schayes to the Milwaukee Bucks, has left the Greek team he signed with and will be returning this weekend to negotiate with the Nuggets, his attorney said.
The Nuggets have declined comment until Monday, awaiting word from the International Basketball Federation that Mills’ contract with the Paouk Athletic Club in Greece has been voided.
The Bucks made Mills the 16th pick in this year’s NBA draft at the instructions of the Nuggets, who had already agreed to send Schayes to Milwaukee in exchange for the 16th pick.
But after the deal, Mills decided to accept a two-year, $2.4-million contract from the Greek team, twice what the Nuggets offered.
