Mark my words, if Dejounte doesn't get court time over Parker and Mills, he'll bolt fast and join a super team before the Spurs even know what's going on. He won't stick around to be anyone's .
Not Patty. That's for sure. Can't wait until we resign Gasol, btw. Another guy with a loyalty contract incoming.

Highest paid back up point guard in the league can't guard anyone, can't run an offense, can't make plays as the ballhandler, and can't shoot 35% from three past the first round since his shoulder surgery.
If you think his deal looks bad now ...
just wait until Manu is gone and Mills doesn't have anyone next to him to be the primary creator and ball handler and setting him up.
His regular season % will look like his playoff %. And his playoff % will look like anguish.
Not going to disagree.
The price you pay for 4 years of "culture".
As a Spur, you are expected as a bench warmer to bring in the enthusiasm.
As a Spur, when you are on the court, you work you butt of despite any physical limitation.
As a Spur, when on court, you don't hesitate to shoot despite missing a ton of previous shots.
Maybe they drafted White to replace Manu and not Mills....
Too bad he won't get playing time regardless because Mills, then Tony, will be eating them all up.
They drafted White because they needed a point guard. Parker is injured, Mills isn't a point guard, Murray is likely to be traded.Maybe they drafted White to replace Manu and not Mills....

You're not making this Patty contract look any better.
I was willing to trade Murray for Paul George, but that is about it out of the available players that I would trade him for.
I suspect Murray is going to be packaged with Aldridge for a bigger prize.
Here's the deal, why draft White when you already have Murray? That's because Murray can't shoot!
Such as?
Pity Mills controlling the ball is the ultimate disaster. The guy can't create for anyone other than himself. He's the reason Aldridge gets as many postups as he does.
Also love how he acknowledges Parker, a guy who isn't about to leave anytime soon, to justify Fatty's contract. If Parker is coming back anyway, what the do we need Mills for? I guess Dejounte is just warming Tony's seat.
Aldridge w/ Parker from mid range (aka open P&P shots): 44.5FG%
Aldridge w/o Parker from mid range (aka postups): 37.4FG%
and then Aldridge overall w/ and w/o Parker:
I don't disagree with the Patty is a bad signing from a basketball perspective.
But as I said, with the Spurs, culture trumps all.
You just have to live with this fact. Besides, nobody is beating GSW with KD, Curry, Thompson and Green all comfortably locked up.
Culture > Logical basketball moves
Time to re-up Manu, Gasol, keep Aldridge, and run this back!
Thunder just got Paul George for Oladipo's terrible contract and a white American scrub. Looking back I can see why Pacers wanted Aldridge...
Kawhi and Paul George could've been special but some dumbasses think it's smarter to sign role players at 12:01am Ct
I know playing dumb is your schtick, #CEPerez, so this is my last post responding to your bait
That feeling when people defend the deal by admitting that he can't play point guard while also not being good enough to avoid being shut by the champs
yep, most other teams overpay scrubs, that's why most other teams suck year after year after year.
I would have loved to get George on a rental for Aldridge. But that did not happen.
Pacers seems to want Oladipo and that may have something to do with him playing for Indiana in college. They only care about bringing in the ticket revenue.
Spurs are paying Mills & Parker $27M next year
Spurs are paying an unhappy Aldridge $21M next year
Spurs will give Pau Gasol a long-term contract at 37yo
Without Kawhi, this team would suck ass year after year
Sounds like what they did with Mills.
"He's a fan favorite!"
Completely agree. Good value. Like Green a few years back, he could have gotten more in open market but choose SA.
Also, I assume this means no Hill.
Hill talks broke off last night. Not that we need him anyway with 5 PGs plus Manu.
I will no longer defender this front office.
We're we really in a rush to sign this MF?
Is this the contact they'd been working on while Paul gets traded, George gets traded and Griffin gets maxed?
All while our ty power forward still has a locker?
Patty mills is not the difference maker on a championship Spurs team
If he wants to stay? cool tell him Hold on & get some meaningful done 1st
This team has 5 point guards and none of them are worthy of a starting position
Patty as a back up is much better than patty as a starter. So as long as he stays a back up behind either Murray or Parker, I'm fine with this.
At least we didn't pay 125/5 for Jrue Holiday tbh
