If it's March it doesn't seem all that likely he could be ready for the POs in April tbh...
Patty stays and this changes a lot of what the spurs will do this offseason depending on there belief in mills and company to hold down the fort.
If it is March, may as well say he is out for the year, he won't be in decent shape for the playoffs.
Wow. That is devastating news. It really, really sucks that he's out that long. That's almost most of the season. It's going to be hard for him to get back into the swing of things. I think he really needed to play the first part of the season to gain even more confidence in his game and also work on his defense. He was really starting to make improvements on the defensive end of the court.
Edit : How long did he have the injury? Did he play most of the season with it.
im crying.
As a front office I think you have to approach it as if you won't have Patty Mills this upcoming season. One little setback and he'd be done for the year, so I don't see how you can make plans that include him being a dependable part. By the time March rolls around, playoff rotations will have been earned and cemented for the most part. Of course they'll hope Patty finds his rhythm and they catch lighting in a bottle going into the playoffs, but to expect him to return and step right into a primary role is foolish.
Crying?!?!
There is no crying in basketball!!!
Well . Wanted Patty back strong and paid well. This throws all kinds of uncertainty into the equation now. Now maybe the Spurs are going to be scared of a multiyear deal, but they owe him for playing through that to win a le.
Honestly its BAU for the Spurs. They won't overreact to the injury and they won't condemn him, he's apart of what they do but he's not the whole shebang. They'll explore there options and more than likely stand pat with what they have. They may invite Denmon to camp though and see if he's reliable for spot minutes
It's like losing him in free agency if March is the prognosis
Just great. Congratulations to Miami, 2015 NBA Champions.
Would we be better off signing him in February? Spread the cap hit better? Can anyone share the info here?
Spurs offseason needs to be:
1. Re-sign Boris to a 3 year deal
2. Re-sign Patty to a 2-3 year deal
3. Extend qualifying offer to Baynes
4. Try to sign Steve Blake or Chalmers. Thankfully Blake might have just lost his job in GS.
5. See if Bonner signs for $1.5 million or less.
This sucks. I hate to not have Mills penciled in as the backup point after such a solid season and incredible Finals, but no way the Spurs can enter this season without a quality backup point who can shoot. So now you gotta tie money up in two backup point guards and then probably trade one in February. Gonna be hard to convince Blake or Chalmers to come to San Antonio when they know Mills is the backup point.
Spurs would have slaughtered the Heat even without Mills.
That's exactly why neither would probably be interested in signing here. That is also why the Spurs are possibly looking at low, low tier PGs like Telfair.
. I AM NOT interested in someone like Telfair at all. I hope that still was his agent talking him up and that the Spurs didn't really inquire about him.
If Cory wasn't such a pussy and too scared to be aggressive with his shooting and offense, we wouldn't need to worry about this.
this is a blessing in disguise for spurs as we will now be able to sign him and diaw.... he will have fresh legs going into the season and will be warmed up after 2 months of games before playoffs.
joseph is a solid backup and we will be able to play anderson potentially.
I see him getting a 2 yr 8 million.
With Tony and Manu, Mills is essentially a SG. So we shouldn't target another PG, at least not a traditional PG.
Bazemore and Troy Daniels seem to fit the bill...
It's not a blessing at all. The Spurs have the room under the tax to pay both Diaw and Mills and then get another forward with the MLE. Now they'll have to use the MLE to try to get a point and who knows if they bring Mills back.
Bazemore sucks, Daniels could be interesting, but he probably stays in Houston unless they land Melo.
I expect 4 months. At least should be able to keep fitness up which will be important considering not shooting the ball for a while.
