Patty Mills shoulder injury true - out 7 months

[Baam]

Neal went from playing at the Y to making 3 mil per because of the spurs. What are you crying about?

I'm just dismissing the idea of Mills getting paid 7M not to play.

You said he should be signed for the minimum.

An healthy Nate Robinson got 2M per year... Mills should be signed to the minimum imo in that situation...

[Aztecfan03]

Depends on when he has the surgery. July just started, so there are almost 6 months left in 2014.

I was going by the seven months of the thread le- which would be until February. But the article says 6-7 months. So sometime in January is possible.

Injured Mills, tired Manu, older Duncan, ty ass Joseph gonna play, & Portland is about to bluff and make us overpay Diaw (who will probably get fat again now that he's gonna get a new contract)

MVParker, Kawhi, & Kyle Anderson need to step up if Spurs want homecourt again

[Baam]

You said he should be signed for the minimum.

Ideally yeah, imo it's a satisfying solution for both parties...

You're mistaken...

@ESPNSteinLine Strong likelihood, I'm told, is Patty Mills re-signing w/San Antonio & taking 'til January to recover. Firmer diagnosis to come post-surgery

[Vic Petro]

Wouldn't expect him back before the rodeo trip.

Seems like they're going to take care of him.

[TheGreatYacht]

@ESPNSteinLine: Spurs & Mills, I'm told, already talking new deal ... but injury bound to shrink what might've been promising market for flammable shooter

[Mikeanaro]

He is pulling an Ibaka.

[Aztecfan03]

He will be out half the season. He is worth more than the minimum for half a season.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Huge blow if we do re-sign him. Tony and Manu are going to need to rest up. It does make sense to bring in an extra wing player at this point.

Manu will be tired and/or injured.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Spurs take care of their own.

I'm agnostic, but from your mouth to God's ear.

[Malik Hairston]

Damn, not looking toward to watching Cory Joseph being afraid to shoot the ball, tbh..

[Aztecfan03]

Could be Cojo's year.

Would suck for Patty if Cojo does really really well and makes it hard for Pop to play Patty.

[Budkin]

7 months?? .

[ElNono]

gws patty

[SayTown]

Mills and the Spurs most likely knew during the season he would need surgery but he played through it to help win a championship so Spurs should pay him

[Mel_13]

That would be a good problem for Pop to have.

[benstanfield]

Yuck. Better hope Anderson can actually play PG. Cory Joseph just sucks.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Would suck for Patty if Cojo does really really well and makes it hard for Pop to play Patty.

Patty doesn't have to worry about that. Cojo is serviceable, but little more.

Probably.

CJ reminds me of the USA Men's Soccer team: plays passive until they are literally forced to play without fear of repercussions and in attack mode.
