You guys know everything
Both stay, imo.
Diaw's a great fit and will just finish his career here.
I think it was benfti that said that Mills is loyal and would prefer to stay with the Spurs than follow a big contract. He seems to really love playing for the Spurs so I see him sticking around.

Indeed, he is as loyal as a Labrador. It really gutted him when the Blazers first let him go, because he knocked back an offer from the pistons just before the lock out wanting to be available for the blazers. I get the steady feeling that he will want to be a Spur as long as they will have him, thats just the sort of guy he is, he is tribal, its in his blood.
False. Only robdiaz knows.
Jarret Jack got 25/4, and he was 29 at the time. I hope some other team doesn't throw like that at Mills
Mills is only slightly less valuable than Danny Green. He's worth around $5M/year. He's more valuable than Gary Neal.
Spurstalk is literally awful when it comes to predicting NBA salaries. Most of you guys think you have to put up 20 and 10 just to get a 2 year $10M contract.
Matt Bonner makes $4M/year for 's sake.
I fully admit I have no idea what they should be paid. But based on the past RC and Pop very seldom lose players they want to keep. I can't really think of anyone who was on our squad that they really wanted and left for more money. Jax in his first stint maybe, but not really. I'm sure there are other examples but they don't come to mind.
So apparently the median salary in the NBA (average is heavily skewed by outliers) is $2.33 million/year. 3 years/$9 million is essentially saying you think Mills is just a ho-hum typical NBA player. I don't think that's the case.
His PER is excellent, his WS are excellent. Not only is he an efficient shooter, he's pretty consistent with it. I think I remember only one or two off shooting nights from Patty in recent memory.
#1 Patty Mills fan checking in.
Im going to think logically. Patty Mills is LOYAL TO THE BONE, I dont think he will move, unless he gets a load $$ at a dumass scrub team. If the spurs were smart, they would resign him for atleast 3.5m a year. He is an integral piece to our backup pg situation in the future, and I think he is the one to replace Tony Parker. Not only that I think Mills is seriously becoming a fan favourite and a team favourite. Look at him the way he cheers his team on. He does everything beyond what a normal nba teammate should do.
Boosting team morale offcourt is seriously underrated in the NBA.
Agreed 100%.
Mills is certainly going to get offers in the ballpark of $4m per year (there are a lot of good guards in the NBA right now and Mills isn't a true PG), but a team might throw more money at him as he has starter potential (and let's face it he's a lot better than Neal). When you see that George Hill makes $8m a year, is a starter and looking at his production, there's sadly a chance that some poorly-run franchise will make a crazy offer. I say the Spurs offer him up to $5m a year and he stays.
Diaw is a different matter entirely, he could easily command a salary in the range of $7-8m (remember he was being paid $9m a year for 5 years before). However I see him as the kind of guy who'd give the Spurs a discount because he likes the team and he's Parker's friend. And even though it's counter-intuitive, I could see him giving the Spurs even more of a discount if the Spurs win it all. I say he resigns around $6m, maybe a bit less if it's a long contract.
anyone else think there is a loyalty connection to san antonio that mills may honor when considering contracts this summer? as long as the spurs give a decent offer, i don't think mills will bail for big money elsewhere like others maybe would.
^ , same connection for boris as well, maybe to a lesser degree imo tbh
Parker 5 years/80 million... for an over 30 year old guard???
If Patty has a good playoffs, someone will overpay him. 76ers will have a bunch of money to spend. Diaw will be resigned.
as i've been saying all along, patty is going to get paid this offseason, he completely deserves it, just like neal deserved it, they both got paid next to nothing by the spurs and to go away is their best bet for plaing time and career in general.
Except that Neal could have gotten similar money to stay with the Spurs and his playing time this season, with an awful team and a mediocre team, has been almost identical to what he got in San Antonio.
Neal's case will provide a good example to Mills. He can only talk to the Spurs until July 1st. They're certain to make him an offer. He'll have the option to make the best possible deal before July 1st or to test his value on the open market. The lesson for Mills from the Neal case is that the Spurs will quickly move on to another option.
he was injured the whole year tbh.
your point being?
Open the link and read.
are you trying to deny he was injured the whole year? You do know, you can play with injuries, right?
