Patty Mills, the Australian bronze medal winner and NBA champion, is being traded by the Brooklyn Nets to the Houston Rockets, ending his two-year stint with Brooklyn. NetsDaily has learned that the Nets are not taking a player back in the exchange, that like the Joe Harris trade on Friday, the Mills trade is essentially a salary dump. Mills will make $6.8 million this coming season.
Shams Charania of The Athletic was first to report the news.
Rockets are finalizing a deal to acquire Brooklyn’s Patty Mills via trade, sources tell me and @KellyIko.
