Go get your money Patty

[TJastal]

Mills is role player you piece of . Danny Green is one of the best defenders in the NBA. Yes, Mills was an important part of the Spurs success but there are plenty of players who can replicate his success. DG is just as good a 3 point shooter when he is loose and aggressive. See last years Finals for example.

I actually agree an argument can be made for Green being more important. But it's alot closer than you think. Mills would be a heckuva lot harder to replace than you think. And don't say Cory Joseph could either because the guy is a ing scrub.

CoJo is garbage, but he's looked decent in the limited minutes he saw in the post season. He's also not a shooter like Mills. Mills would be hard to replace but finding a defender like Green would be even harder.

Honestly, I can see him turning down a little bit more money to stay with the Spurs. But if somebody decides to overpay for him then I'll be thrilled for Mills as well. He's been the consummate teammate since he got here and he deserves every bit of it.

[DPG21920]

I think it will be in the 4 year, 20M range. If the Spurs go there, I think he takes that even if someone offers 4/24 or something like that. If the Spurs aren't willing to go that high, I think he has to take the other offer and I would be so happy for him either way. Hope the Spurs can keep him though.

[DPG21920]

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.

By 2015 do you mean next year or the year after?

[Darius McCrary]

Unfair to Neal. While I definitely think Patty was the better fit, Neal was a solid Spur. And if I remember correctly, Neal tore it up in the finals last year himself.

Agreed, plus Neal hit many big big big time shots and game winners. Neal was the . You don't gotta hate on Neal to give Mills credit.

I hear the Heat are looking for a PG.........

I hear the Heat are looking for a PG.........

Several point guards more likely...

[therealtruth]

We've got to resign Patty Claxton.

[BackHome]

I want both back and both are needed if we want to have any chance of getting six rings. As far as Mills I don't think it is all about the money but rather are you going to respect me and appreciate me kinda of player. If players like Boris, Baynes, and Timmy talk to him I think he will sign a decent contract 4 years 13mill.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

We need to match imho.

Completely agree with this. I cant even think how many championships the Spurs have lost because they didnt have a solid PG backup

That's what I'm saying. I mean, when was the last time we had a back-up pg in Patty's caliber? I can't remember when.

[james evans]

teams are just gonna throw money at him to take him from teh spurs and then they'll put him on the bench to waste away. we saw the same thing happen to eddie house. if patty wants to play, he needs to stay. look at bynum. indiana signed him just to keep him from miami

[Mel_13]

Summer of 2015.

[December Romo]

Get rid a Danny and keep Patty? Patty is my but let's not be ridiculous.

When did we see that?

[BackHome]

I don't think Neal is having to much fun right now.

[james evans]

When did we see that?

we didn't. i said the wrong name. i was talking about flopping ass james pussy. i mean james posey. hahaha. he didn't have much fun in NO after the opting out of his celtics contract

[ontheraise]

LMAO, you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Parker made 12.5 million this season. Duncan made 10.3 million this season. Ginobili made 7 million this season.... Patty Mills made 1.1 million this season.

The big 3 have made a ton of money in their careers, and when they "pass on the big bucks" they still make a ton of money more than Patty has ever made.

yeah you don't understand can you plz telle me how much make heat big3 how much boston big3 made......if patty is offered 5/year i sure hope he 'll stay to win a tle of corse if nY offer is 10m/y i don't see spurs matching that and him passing on that much money.

[will_spurs]

Retaining his services for the future should be an even bigger priority than Diaw imho. A much bigger priority.

Why do you always have to go full re ?

[T Park]

I'd move Danny before letting Mills go. He's more consistent. It would be a shame to see him go and I don't want to even think about it.

Yeah make the defense worse. Genius.

[Warlord23]

Patty was magnificent in the Finals. However I'm not sold that he can start for a good team. His game is based on flying all over the court for 15-20 mins a game, that too in short bursts. That would be hard to pull off if he's going to run the offense for 35 mins. Plus he played a lot with Manu, Tony and Boris who were instrumental in running the offense. It won't be as easy being the primary distributor.

Would be great if we could keep him, but not at the cost of Diaw or another athlete at the wing position who can shoot. Plus Cory Joseph has shown good improvement, this might be the year that Pop gives him meaningful minutes.

[T Park]

3 years 14 million for Patty. 2 years 10 million for Boris.

Should get it done.

Patty Mills had a breakout season, his fifth in the NBA, and was terrific off the bench during the playoffs as the San Antonio won the NBA le. Mills will be an unrestricted free agent beginning on July 1 and his market should be robust. According to the New York Post, the New York Knicks have Mills on their radar.
