    But of course, if somebody throws him the full MLE, go for it by all means.

    KD had it wrong...Mills is the system player, not Kawhi.

    Where else is mills gonna get so many damn open looks? You think the Knicks are gonna share the ball with memo and JR on that team?
    Melo is gone anyway...

    I disagree that Mills is a system player. How did he become the leading scorer at the Olympics? Dude can shoot, and much more consistently than Neal. Diaw is really the system player in the sense that he can only excel like this with the Spurs.

    Pop's former coach, Brett Brown, coached the Australian NT during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. As I recall, Patty talked about how Brett Brown incorporated the "Spurs System" with the NT which caused Patty to be interested in signing with the Spurs that summer. So, Patty is a system player.

    When people say that X is a system player, I assume they mean that the player's numbers are inflated because they play in a certain system that affords more and better looks. Who here can say with a straight face that Patty wouldn't average 18 ppg as a starting point guard on ANY team? IMO, Diaw and Bonner and Green can only perform to their current level with the Spurs. Those are the system players. Kawhi is not.

    Not to say that Patty and Kawhi don't thrive in the Spurs' system. They do, and I hope they stay. But that doesn't mean they can ONLY perform--aka put up gaudy stats--in the Spurs system. That fails the eye test.

    To have a chance at repeating, Mills and Diaw have to be back. Joseph while an underrated player, doesn't ful full the SG role next to Manu that well.
    If we get a small forward, maybe we can have belli, manu, backup small forward or play green with manu sometimes.

    Mills creates his own shot, attacks the basket and finishes well. He's excellent on the fast break because of his speed. Mills is a SG though. He's not really looking to pass. He's a scorer. I do see similarities to Gary Neal. Mills is better defensively by a small margin. Overall, Mills is a gifted shooter, brings tons of energy on the court, as well when he's on the bench. I don't know how he'll do as a starting PG.

    Mills' speed and talent for taking charges puts him far above Neal on D.

    This. Mills is by no means a good defender, but at least he can stay in front of players, which is huge in the Spurs system. If Neal were to defend LeBron, he would have dunked on every possession. While Mills forces LeBron shooting over him --- granted, LeBron's 3-pointer shooting was quite good during the finals.

    Knicks fans scared to get Mills because of how Hill, Barea, and Neal ended up
    I think they overrate what Neal was here.

    I wouldn't blame him or be angry, he would probably be their best player, at this point..


    On a serious note Spurs,

    anything up to 5m,

    and you RESIGN PATTY!

    All these wasted years of watching

    scrub Bonner "spread the floor,"

    and as soon we win a le with

    legit pieces like Diaw and Patty,

    if we let them go,

    it would be beyod re ed.

    He is going to get trade for a mid to late first round pick, and the Spurs will draft the next Ginobili.

    Neal's best defensive attribute is actually his abilty to draw charges, but Gary does so with anticipation in help defense, while Patty does it on his man using quickness to beat them to the spot.

    Defensively, I'd say the rankings would be Pattu, Gary then Marco.

    This. Though one wonders if Melo will be there next year to hog the ball.

    The best place for Mills (besides the Spurs) would actually be Miami, where LeBron can play point forward and Patty can spot up on offense, but guard opposing point guards on defense.

    Don't want to lose Mills but somebody's bound to extend an offer the Spurs won't want to match.

    Would love to keep him and I think he will sign for less money just to stay a Spur.

    He won't take less money to stay a Spur. Mills' value may never be higher than it is right now. He seems intelligent enough to realize that. Unless the Spurs have changed their philosophy of allowing role players leave, I expect him to be wearing a new jersey next year, with the hope that he can come back to the Spurs at some point.

    Patty Mills will probably leave, as he avoided answering whether or not he'd be back next season after the win Sunday. It'll just be another Speedy Claxton scenario or Jerome James (Sonics) scenario, have a breakout playoff performance, go to a lesser team for more money, then never be heard from again and have a nothing career.

    This! And this is what I have been trying to explain, but some are having trouble looking past the homer glasses. Most likely this is at the highest peak of market value that Patty will ever be and he may never have another chance at a high mil contract. Im sure his agent has explained this to Him and Patty seems like a intelligent guy and he would be wise to walk for the right offer. Like I said I would hate to see him go but I would completely understand if he does.

    I really appreciate Patty's energy off the bench. I'll miss that if he decides to go.

    None of the free agents answered... Boris didn't either... You can't show your hand or you're just asking to be lowballed...
