They'll offer him somewhere in the range of $35-$45mil over 4 years in the offseason. Up to him whether he takes it or not; they can't afford to go higher and still put a team together that can even feign being a contender.
As a downunder Spurs fan I am curious about people's views on his value to the spurs organization. I see in 2016-17, Mills will earn a base salary of $3,245,614 and a incentive bonus of $333,333. i assume he will get a pay rise next year and I think it will be interesting how it plays out as a backup PG next season. The Spurs get a lot of PR in OZ due to him being on the team and you see quite a few spurs playing singlets so he must be worth a few dollars in merchandise.

I don't know about off the court, but there aren't many players league-wide that have produced more on the court in relation to their salary..only Lou Williams has been clearly better off the bench, so far..
Mills is worth about 8-12 a year...anything more than that and they have to move away from him. I love paddy...but 12 million a year for a energizer scorer is too much.
I'd give him 10 max. Ideally I'd like to go 8 or 9, but he'll get much better offers so I'm not sure if it's even worth asking him.
Austin Rivers just got 11 mil per year(granted, it was from his father)..Patty needs to fire his agent if he gets anything less

Sfan, where in Oz are you?
Sydney. I have an international pass and watch all the games. Plus we get a few on local PayTV
Delly on got 10 mill.![]()
I'm pretty sure the Kings will offer him 4yr/60mill.![]()
Then I hope Patty enjoys Sacramento
He will stay a spur as long as the offer is close to compe ive. You can take that to the bank, he doesn't want to play anywhere else.
And Bayless got 9m
Patty will get at least 10m.
Seemed to imply that he's willing to leave to be a starter somewhere. So how the team sees him fitting going forward may be a big key to this.
I expect him to return and maybe even start if Parker is willing to move to the bench to try and extend his career. Otherwise I could Pop straight up splitting minutes evenly between the two for the most part plus the Parker rest injury game
Mills is pulling $12-$15 million a year this offseason, probably closer to $15 million.
I could see him getting 4 years, $50 million fairly easily. On the other hand, most teams already have a solid pg or have drafted one in recent seasons so there may not be but only a couple of teams interesting in paying him $10+ million.
Spurs should absolutely keep him; Parker's contract expires after next season so the whole "paying two PG's 12+ million thing would only last for one season". I think the vet. min is supposed to sky rocket with the new cba, so maybe that could be an option for Parker or something in that $ range
Patty can be a quality player - starter or preferably off the bench to keep it humming for the next 4-5 years during KL's prime. He needs to stay. A lot of the high dollar contracts can be off the books after next year.
The Spurs need to draft well to get a new starting or rotation point guard and go buy a quality big to help out Kawhi in the future.
Manu and Tony get paid $15 a year each right now and LMA has a $20+ salary that could also go away at the end of next year.
This roster has to get younger and more athletic as it moves through Kawhi's prime years.
Having Patty, Danny Green, and Kawhi around is a good start to moving into the next phase of the Spurs. Rebuild on the run.
A large reason why 'Cakes shooting % is down, is the Spurs confusing discomboomerated offensive strategy often times leaves him with the ball having to chuck up a shot before the shot clock goes off.
Money isn't going to be flying around to the same degree as last offseason. Mentioned it elsewhere, but there are only ~5 teams with $10+ million of cap space though number will likely increase heading into the summer. There will still be some overpays, but don't think last summer's salaries are a good barometer of where similar free agents get paid. Probably a 10% haircut to those levels.
wut?
He's 5th in the league in TS%![]()
Mills wants to be a starter. For as good of a teammate as he has been, that really surprised me. He didn't mince words and was pretty direct about starting being really high on the priority list.
I don't want Mills as a starter.
if tyler ing johnson got 50 million, Patty is gonna get 55+ easily
Tyler Johnson is a better player than Mills, but yeah, he's going to get paid a healthy amount. Don't know if anyone will view him as a starter though.
