Patty Mills’ signing is official. The Nets announced that Mills signed his new contract, a reported two-year, $14.5 million deal that is essentially a renewal of the taxpayers MLE. Mills, 34, had a player option for this coming season and elected to opt out so he could sign a longer deal which could be his final NBA deal.
The $14.5 million was the most the Nets could extend. Brooklyn still hasn’t filled this year’s TMLE, which is now $6.5 million. The Nets have now re-signed three of its nine free agents and added three others, including two-way Alondes Williams.
