Patty Mills status?

[Russ]

All the Spurs' moves have hit the sweet spot thus far.

(Edited to remove nasty comment comparing Patty Mills to Beno.)

[Sense]

He's an upgrade offensively from Tj Ford, a bit slower, but better shooter and finisher. Just kind of worried about his D, but Im sure he'll be up to the challege to get there.

Patty Mills also has a locker stall reserved. He will wear No. 8, when he shows.

So lets work this out..

We have a Belgin Born Frenchman of Dutch Parents
An Argentinean
A Brazilian
A Canadian

we are about to add another Frenchman (Diaw) and now we are adding an Australian Aboriginal and Torres Straight islander?

are we the most cosmopolitan team in NBA history?

The Spurs scout countries, not just teams.
Think about this, if you can get the best player or players from each basketball playing country on your team, just think how good your NBA team can be!

And to take it a step further, what if some of those players turn out to be the best players all-time from that country.

Pop on when Mills' visa might be resolved: “It’s taken a long time already, and now it’s the weekend. That’s not going to solve anything.”

Spot on!. To add to that, all of what we seem to have are also great people. This speaks volumes to, we not seem to have any massive egos amongst them either.

Guarantee: Mills makes his first shot as a Spur

He is the type of guy who would brick his first and then nail his next 3

I like that.

If this guy were a Mexican, he'd be stuck in the middle of the Rio Grande.

I'm already worried about ten second calls (if he ever gets here).

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

As long as Immigration isn't refereeing the games he should move quite easily across the court.

[benfti]

yes, well done

[Spurtacus]

Was he signed for one or two years?

[slick'81]

hes not gun shy, a bit out of control at times but i like his pace

[Hooks]

Pretty sure he was signed for 2 years with an option to opt out after the 1st year.

he just needs to settle a bit, he is a high energy guy trying to impress a new team in his second game.

There is a of a lot more to like than not with him though, thats for sure.

Cant question his endeavour.
