God I would have offered Iguodala 3 years, $60 million before offering Mills 4 years, $50 million
Pop obviously see White being Manu going forward.

Yeah.
Development of Murray and White will be more important than free agency. Cheap contracts that contribute pay huge dividends.
Love Patty, but was hoping the Spurs would move on, tbh..Patty for 4 more years and Parker playing until he's 40
I don't hate it if they actually let Parker walk and don't re-up, though..
12.5 mil for an above average 6th man (which is what Patty is) isn't terrible tbh. You already knowwhat he means to the team culture.
Hopefully it means PATFO are closer to moving away from TP tbh.
Not a bad deal I suppose compare with other crazy contracts
Hope White can turn into Gary Neal 2.0 with much better defensive ability
I was guessing 4 yrs 40 mil.
Get ready for Patty as the starting PG next year with that kind of a paycheck. At least until Tony is back. The good thing is he can slide over to SG and play alongside the REAL future at PG, Dejounte Murray.
Thats a no pressure move by Livingston for another ring.
I never thought the Spurs would trade Parker but if they resign Simmons, draft a PG, and resign Patty, then I think they actually might move Parker's contract. This move definitely makes that more possible.
I don't hate this signing. Mills has definite value, despite what people about, and there are no veteran guards you're signing for cheap. People just don't understand that players are getting paid. In a day when stars get 40 million dollar contracts you're going to see role players get this type of deal.
Anyone know if the last year would be an option year?
He won't start.
He has never had a big contract in his career. He's nuts not trying to get paid. He should have at least held out for an option on a four year deal if he was going to take that kind of paycut.
Cap hold for Patty is only $6.8 mil. I'm sure he'll technically be the last to sign once signing begins next week.
Might as well have signed Hill for $20 million a season then. I'm not a fan of his but he's a huge upgrade over Mills. Maybe they were stuck with Mills after being unable to find someone to take Aldridge's ass in a salary dump.
Parker and his extension has been cement shoes on this team and now they've just replaced him for 3 more years with another declining, bulking waste on the books.
Paying a back up point double digits on this team is insane. He's not a 6th man, he's not Manu, he'll never be that. Congratulations, the Spurs are blowing 30% of their cap on point guards who aren't in the top 20 or even 30 of their position
Why not just pay 3/36 to Teodosic? More fun anyway.
What a major disappointment.
He likes helping deliver the knockout punch after their starters kill it.
You know there are teams that see him moving as a lesser Harden type play. He does not want it. Likes it easy.
Sounds like a lot but that is the landscape of the NBA this year. We couldnt afford to lose him as a player/future asset.
There's reports that talks b/w Hill and Spurs broke off. Hill is probably looking to cash in and balked at Pop and RC asking for a hometown discount.
So money wise, what do we got left? Can we still make a run at a big free agent? I assume we won't be chasing anymore Point Guards now
Just wait till next summer when we actually have cash. Then you'll really see what disappointment is.
We could't just let him walk. Our lack of assets is hindering us from making any moves this offseason. Losing Mills would have further hampered us next offseason. I dont love Mills but he has a desirable skillset.
