"One day removed from nabbing the franchises fifth NBA championship, the San Antonio Spurs have three impending free agents — Matt Bonner, Boris Diaw and Patty Mills — in addition to the uncertainty around Tim Duncan’s player option and, potentially, a contract extension for Kawhi Leonard, the 22-year-old Finals MVP labeled as the face of the franchise to address in the offseason.
There’s already interest in Mills, the 6-foot guard who averaged 10.2 points on 54.3 percent shooting in the Finals. The New York Knicks, faced with the very real possibility of Carmelo Anthony leaving this offseason, are reportedly interested in signing Millswith a portion of their mini mid-level exception, according to the New York Post.
The 25-year-old Mills, one of the most vocal players on the team, may have some interest in playing in New York too.
“New York is definitely a city Mills would want to play in,’’ the New York Post source said. “He has that personality.’’The Knicks’ mini mid-level exception, worth approximately $3.2 million, figures to be an accurate estimate of Mills’ value on the open market. Mills averaged 19.5 points per 36 minutes this season, tied for second on the team with Manu Ginobili, with a well above-average 58.8 true shooting percentage. He earned 5.6 win shares in 1,527 minutes according to Basketball Reference. (A “win” is typically worth around $1.6 million, meaning Mills produced around $8.96 million of value this season.)
Gregg Popovich gradually entrusted Mills with a larger share of the offense to rest Tony Parker and it paid dividends — the Spurs scored 109.1 points per 100 possessions in the regular season when he was on the floor and 117.6 points during the playoffs, per NBA.com.
Re-signing Diaw and Mills, second and seventh in plus/minus during the Finals respectively, remains a priority for the defending champions."

Sign & trade for Melo imo
All chucking lineup :
Mills
JR Smith
Melo
They'll gladly over pay him.
This. you Knicks. Focus on keeping your chucking star.
Please Spurs resign Mills. I have a better feeling about resigning Diaw...Mills not so much.
He would be better than 49 year old Pablo, that's for sure.
Would love to keep him and I think he will sign for less money just to stay a Spur. But if some stupid team is really going to go nuts, I'm happy for him getting the big payday just 12 months after beeing the towelwaver. His next team will surely be one of my favs, as long as Patty starts.
BTW, Patty is great and CoJo doesn't give us his insane shooting, but I could very well see CoJo as the main backup given his play in garbage time.
Hopefully he stayes...Would love to see him in Oct in Germany 7 years after witnessing him with Team Australia in Brisbane.
Diaw and Mills have to be the top priority for the Spurs, especially Diaw.
They are talking about the mini midlevel exception.
Thats 3.1 mio right?
In my book Patty should be worth that to the Spurs, but should offer 2,5 first.
Knicks are also interested in offering mills Starting PG.
If patty gets offered anything significantly more the spurs can offer, he's gone otherwise he's staying in sa
This is the first off-season where I don't give a about signing new free-agents, I just want Diaw and Mills back.
Patty is like Gary Neal but with more awareness, consistency, quickness, and defense. He's the perfect back-up to Tony.
Patty Mills is not even in his prime yet. He is a late bloomer.
2.5 million r u fkin kidding me, he is worth 4-5 mill
lol Knicks interested?
That that the worst scenario
Id love for Patty to stay at the spurs, but if he gets a significantly better deal then I think it is justified that he should take it. He deserves it.
If he gets gets big offer he's gone. Got to do what's right for him.
You s gonna take my AUSSIE Dante Exum
He'll get multiple offers after his play in the finals. Most teams would love to have his shooting come off the bench.
@ the Knicks thinking they can get a starting PG for $3.2m a year. They definitely live in fantasy land. There's no way $3.2m is an "accurate value for Mills on the open market", and that's even less accurate when throwing in the Knicks + starting PG aspects. In any case, the Spurs would gladly match that offer.
I can imagine that an offer to be a starter in NY would be hard to say not to, but they'd have to throw at least $5m at him.
I figured this would happen. Patty might have to leave because of the absurd offers teams like the Knicks, Nets, and Sixers might offer him.
Patty should stay here for a little discount because it's apparent he will become our starting point once Parker officially gets worn out from the starting gig. Not to mention we have a legit chance to be le contenders for the near future.
Pay him fairly. No need to match ridiculous offers... but I sure hope we keep him.
RC should bring a JJ Barea or Neal in to talk to Patty about cashing in and ending up in situations.
Obviously it would be great if Patty stays but I wouldn't be upset at him if he leaves. He's earned the chance to make more money and there is no one more deserving. He will forever be a Spur no matter where he goes.
Spursfan gonna be real angry when Patty signs with the Lakers.
