Watch the Heat try to sign him.
Don't say your goodbyes yet. The Spurs paid more than we would have thought for Manu and Splitter, they can find a way to get it done IMO. I believe he gets a decent contract and the chance to continue winning here.
Damn we gotta have him. Dude became a flat out stud.
Paying to keep Boris and Patty may mean that they have to abandon any chance of creating significant cap space in 2015. I've come around to the opinion that they will do just that.
Which he will turn down when offered a better contract by a lesser team.
Both of their PG's the bed, wouldn't doubt they at least consider it. Plus, he can teach their players how to be more effective with their flops.
Don't be surprised if Patty takes less to stay with such a comfortable team environment with people that he obviously gets along with and a coach that understands him and is willing to take the time to inform the whole team about his heritage.
Indigenous Australian sportsmen often enjoy those sort of lifestyle geared positives rather than the almighty dollar. No kidding.
We would be better off targeting our internal talent than trying to make a splash in FA. Win or not, we will continue to get snubbed in the FA market. Pay Patty and Boris, bring in a role player or maybe even Livio to take Bonner's spot.
Im all for it. Spurs have a legit shot at a couple of more runs if Tim and Manu stay. Mavs situation should show anyone that you go with what is, not what might be.

I hope the Spurs keep Mills, but if he decides to leave as a free agent, I wonder if the Spurs will look for a new backup point guard in the draft or free agency?
With so much of the Spurs front office/coaching staff sprinkled heavily throughout the league, and with Patty's incredible performance, I can't help but think some of the Spurs alumni will go after him. I don't know what their cap numbers are, but maybe Philly or Atlanta, with Brett and Bud.
You s be crazy if you don't think the Spurs are going to resign Patty AND Diaw. As long as they don't get offered an absurd amount of course...
Hawks have Teague and Schroeder. Philly has Carter-Williams and Maynor. Let's be honest, neither one of them made a play for Neal this past offseason.
If the offers for Mills are "reasonably" close to what the Spurs can offer, I see him staying. If the difference is in excess of 2 Mil, I see him leaving. And wouldn't blame him a bit.
Diaw tho, has to stay here. There is no other team in the league that he fits in better with. He was born a Spur and sucks in any other system. I wan't 'em both and hope they both stay.
Patty will be back.
Stop being negative
There he is!! I've been looking for you RobDiaz. Step up here and eat some crow. Back in January you posted up some laughing emoticons when I said the Spurs would take care of the Thunder. I told you to keep on laughing and I'd find you when we won it all.
I think you laughed some more & asked where my false confidence came from.
Put down that copy of Ebony or Jet your reading, pick up the fork, and eat some Crow. You earned it, laughing all the way.
And yes, Patty Mills needs to stay. Garbage? You're going come in here and call Patty Mills garbage after he bailed TP's ass out last night? Keep on giggling, brother.
First off, I love Patty Mills. Fan of him since he played in College at St Mary's and I was absolutely ecstatic when the Spurs signed him. That said, he's not a starting PG in the NBA. The truth is, he played 2 guard for the Spurs, with Manu handling the PG duties. And much of Patty's contributions come from the Spurs system of ball movement and screens off the pick and roll where he can pop 3's. But he's a role player all the way. A starting NBA PG commands the offense, penetrates, finds the open man, and most importantly, finishes at the rim. Patty has never really done any of those things consistently. I can't see a team offering him to be their starting PG, which means he'll most likely come back here a Spur, taking a bit of a hometown discount rather than be some other contending team's backup PG.
He basically dodged the question that would imply whether or not he's staying with the Spurs. The Spurs don't need someone like that anyway. He'll just be another Speedy Claxton who contributed big for us, got offered more money, and took the money but amounted to nothing on the new team.
Can't believe anyone is worried about 2015 cap space. We have a chance to come back and do this again next year. You have to go after that.
Duncan did the same thing last night. Do they need him?
james did to
do the heat not need him
Exceed the salary cap just a little spend some money greedy bas s.
They exceeded the Salary Cap by 10 mil this past season. Basically, Bonner's money is going to go to Mills this offseason. With the killing Holt and Co. made this past 3 seasons going deep in the playoffs, and the end of the Career of Duncan and Manu looming, I hardly think they will be cheap this off season.
