Millsap talked with the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns before deciding to sign with the Nuggets.
Millsap was an All-Star with the Atlanta Hawks each of the past four seasons.
The 11-year veteran will be paired with budding star center Nikola Jokic, giving the Nuggets the makings of a powerful frontcourt.
The 6-foot-8 Millsap averaged 18.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game last season. He is a strong interior defender, something the Nuggets need after ranking 29th of 30 teams in defensive efficiency last season.
Millsap averaged 24.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in the Hawks' first-round playoff loss to the Washington Wizards in April.
