Would love for him to stay, but your right. Teams are going to throw money at him. He should take it. I honestly think he loves this Spurs team though.
Other teams are going to offer you an absurd amount of money that the Spurs won't match. You've earned the big contract you are about to get. I'd hate to lose you as an assassin off the bench, but I won't fault you one bit for taking the money. After all, this is a business above all else.

What's the % chance you think he comes back?
Patty can be a starting Point Guard on some team
It would be sad to see him go
Patty was the neal replacement, and he performed the role x10 times better along with that pesky defense
Spurs blundered in not locking him up at the beginning of the season. Heck, even Parker was vouching for him!
you missed the point of spurs organisation "this is winning above all else", the big3 show it for more than ten years now passing on big bucks to get a great team
Oh I'm positive he loves this Spurs team.
But a player is only in his prime for a short time. This is the moment in his life where he can set himself up financially for the rest of his life. Someone is going to offer him a contract that the Spurs can't match, and Patty owes it to himself to get that money.
We need to match imho.
Possible, but teams may be concerned with his height. He'll get Barrera like money.... 4.5m per. Spurs will offer that and he'll likely stick until Tony retires.
LMAO, you don't have a clue what you are talking about.
Parker made 12.5 million this season. Duncan made 10.3 million this season. Ginobili made 7 million this season.... Patty Mills made 1.1 million this season.
The big 3 have made a ton of money in their careers, and when they "pass on the big bucks" they still make a ton of money more than Patty has ever made.
Probably 15% or less. We see this season after season in the NBA. Some team is going to reach and overpay for Patty. The Spurs are successful because they don't make ridiculous financial decisions and they trust in their ability to find replacements in the draft and free agency.
Frankly, all we can do is be happy for him.
Doubt he gets more than Danny Green's current contract. The Spurs will match unless they're unhappy with the 3rd year. Spurs could offer a bit more per season to both Patty and Boris, but on 2-year deals and still have MLE money to spend.
Spurs finally get the back-up pg they've been searching for since who? Patty has been the best back-up pg this organisation has ever had. We need to match.
That's true. But a ring works wonders for endorsements too, especially for a foreigner. He'll likely be paid a decent amount by the Spurs anyway. Not sure the couple more millions to go play for a ty team are going to be worth it.
I wouldn't be surprised if teams offer 7 - 8 mil/yr. It'll be a sore sight for the Spurs fans reverting back to Corey Joseph.
7-8 mil is insane !
I have faith in the front office's ability to find players, and even more faith in Pop's system. The Spurs were 30 seconds away from a le last year without Patty Mills even contributing. Whether it is Patty or Corey or someone else playing back-up PG next year, the Spurs will be fine as long as Pop is here.
Patty is NOT a PG, he's a tiny SG. Unless you pair him with a taller creator, like the Spurs do with Manu and Beli, he'll struggle.
Welcome to the NBA, where insane contracts happen. Dwayne Wade played half a season and he still didn't have enough energy to contribute in the NBA Finals. Unless he retires, the Heat will have to pay him more than $20 million in each of the next two seasons. Patty Mills at $7 mill a year seems like a bargain compared to Dwayne Wade at $20 mill.
Patty can be a PG in a well run system like Pop's because he doesn't rely on the pg alone to do the actual work executing plays.
Patty could get away playing the point in only a handful of teams - Miami, Houston, maybe Indiana. His best value for any other team would be as a 6th man.
20 mils for two more years of D-Washed up?
The Heat are ed
He has to stay...
The problem is, there is not many teams with the Cap to sign Patty for that much.
http://hoopshype.com/salaries.htm
The only teams under the cap enough to sign for a contract like this is the Mavs, Cavs, Suns, Celtics, Bucks, Jazz, Magic, Hawks, Philly, Pistons, Bobcats, Raptors.
Mavs have Calderon and Harris,
Cavs have Irving as a starter.
Suns have Bledsoe and Dragic.
Celtics have Rondo.
Hawks have Teague and Schroeder.
Philly have ROY Carter-Williams.
Raptors probably resign Lowry.
Jazz just drafted Burke as their future starter.
Magic are going to draft Exum more than likely.
Pistons have Jennings.
So that leaves the Bucks and Bobcats as strong potential suitors to pay over 5mil for Mills at this point. I hardly doubt Mills goes to either one. If the Spurs have 5mil and Bucks/Cats offer 7mil, Mills will comes back to the Spurs for sure.
