Patty Mills is the first free agent off the board that I felt could be a real Celtics game-changer. He got more than the taxpayer MLE though. – 7:00 PM

Someone forget to tell Patty that KD asked for a trade? – 6:56 PM

I thought Patty Mills was gone. He re-signs in Brooklyn for two years, $14.5M. Mills chooses to sick with Ben Simmons. Patty said he had Simmons’ back every step of the way when the Nets acquired him via trade. – 6:56 PM

Warriors culture, which couldn’t persuade free agents Nic Batum or Patty Mills last summer, is now renewed. Is it as potent as it was 6 years ago? The coming days/weeks will tell us. nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio… – 6:26 PM

More on this storyline

 

Adrian Wojnarowski: Patrick Mills, who’ll attract significant interest around the league, hasn’t ruled out a return to the Nets, sources tell ESPN. -via Twitter @wojespn / June 29, 2022

Brian Lewis: Patrick Mills did not pick up his $6.2 million player option with the #Nets, according to sources close to the player. He is a free agent. -via Twitter @NYPost_Lewis / June 29, 2022

Patty Mills, Brooklyn (player option): $7,181,657. Patty Mills has one of the league’s most interesting player-option decisions; his option (for $6.18 million) and his BORD$ value are nearly identical. While it seems likely he’ll be back in a Brooklyn uniform in either event, he’d be eligible for a raise to $7.4 million if he opts out and then re-signs. -via The Athletic / June 13, 2022
