    Report: Mills to Spurs a done deal


    Earlier this week Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Spurs still intended to sign Australian guard Patty Mills and that the deal wasn't final because he was having visa issues. Now MySA is reporting that Mills is still having visa issues but that the deal is in place. Goodwin told the Express News that now that the process should move much faster now that an agreement has been reached.
    “It shouldn’t be too much longer,” agent Aaron Goodwin told the Express-News. “There is a deal in principle. He just has to get a visa.”
    Goodwin added Mills should be in San Antonio no later than a week from now. Hopefully Mills is in uniform before that. Last night Tony Parker left the game against Minnesota earlier because of some hamstring discomfort

    Mills was a fan favorite in the city of Portland. Nobody reached out to the fans as much as he did. He would constantly let his twitter followers know where he was at so they could meet him, and he was always giving away free merchandise.

    And what's refreshing is that Mills enjoyed doing those things. It was genuine. There were no ulterior motives hidden deep. He loved interacting with the fans and they loved him. His charitable heart was like no other.

    Besides the love of the fans, he loved his teammates. There was never a quiet moment when Patty was around. When the Trail Blazers called a timeout, he was first to greet his guys with encouragement or jokes. He always had a way of making people smile and laugh.

    He's one of those guys who knew his obligation as a professional athlete and he chose to go way and beyond the call of duty.


    Sounds like a SPUR to me.

    Yeah, from everything I've heard about Mills, he's a GREAT dude. I listened to a few interviews with him before the draft and he sounds like a humble, down to earth type of guy.

    Perhaps our Australians can tell us a bit more about that, especially since you know it played a rather large role in the Spurs going after him . . .

    He's an upgrade offensively from Tj Ford, a bit slower, but better shooter and finisher. Just kind of worried about his D, but Im sure he'll be up to the challege to get there.

    It was painful losing TJ Ford. If not for the neck injury, he would have been the perfect back up to Tony. Such a shame.

    Not so sure he's an upgrade offensively from TJ Ford. Maybe from a scoring standpoint, but TJ had a huge impact offensively to begin the season.

    TJ was perfect because he was pass first minded and it complimented TP since he isnt. Mills will be great (hopefully) but his contribution will be different.

    TJ did the right thing by retiring but damn that was a sad day.

    Patty can score and run the point better than a healthy TJ or CJ.

    RING IT UP BABY!

    I think he's signed, he just can't do anything for us until the Visa issue is settled...

    It's kinda funny but a lot of poster were ing when we signed TJ saying "He is not a passer - He hogs the ball - He sucks..etc." But when he played he kept the offense flowing and got guys some easy buckets. Good players can adapt to what the coaches need..ie..scoring, rebounding, passing..etc..
