Kevin Peyton: Do Spurs re-sign Mills and for how much?

[DPG21920]

parker has much more experience playing with the starting lineup... whatever numbers you're referring to... they should be better. at least you found a stat you can cling onto.

Patty has had plenty of time with the unit - that excuse doesn't fly. It's the same reason you see LMA have a drastic drop next to Mills. Sure, it's less time than TP, but still a solid amount of time. Read into what that means.

While you are correct that the time Mills has had as a STARTER with that unit is less than TP, the calculations with Mills with that same lineup isn't about just starting. It's all time on the court with them. Mills has been closing plenty of games with that lineup and overall, just having Mills in over TP with the starters is worse.

Also, the start Patty crew has yet to answer my questions: Why is it that Pop doesn't start Mills other than the 7 game opportunity he's had?

If your answer to that is because he's too loyal to TP, then why isn't TP closing the games like Pau (whom Pop put off the bench)? Also, if that's your answer, and TP is still going to be here, why would you pay Mills KNOWING that?

I will go with Mills is the engine room of the second unit and you don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Well..
this is not a continuation for the Kevin Pelton argument that Mills could be worth 15 mill per season, but it's another find in the same vein.

What’s instructive of this list is that Mills has performed like the 43rd-most valuable player in the league, and that salary is $17 million, which should give you an idea of the type of contract he’ll be looking to land this summer as a free agent. He’s not a Jokic-level heist, but not that far off, and we’re lucky to have him for at least a bit longer.

Good article if you have some time to read... just interesting to see what guys are producing relatively to their salary.

No way will the Spurs give Mills 17 million a year, nor should they.

they're paying porker 15M so 17 for MVPatty is only fair tbh

Good article, thanks for posting. It agrees with a hunch I've had: Parker is somewhat overpaid but looks grossly overpaid because of how grossly underpaid Mills is.

Posted over in Think Tank but since nobody reads it, this is somewhat relevant here:

^^ Not sure what that means for Patty, but I think it does mean the time to go after blockbuster FA may be at an end. It affects not just the Spurs but the other teams too. The market boom may be stalled.
