Spurs fans will always love Patty Mills. The towel-waving, first-guy-off-the-bench to high five his teammates Aussie sharpshooter spent the last two seasons in Brooklyn as a member of the Nets. The Nets had Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and a number of pieces to make a Finals run, but they came up short and started disassembling.
And now they Nets have parted ways with Mills.
Last Saturday, Mills was sent to the Houston Rockets to clear cap space. He would have been playing with another former Spur and his fellow countryman Jock Landale.
It was originally believed that Mills was going to be sent to Memphis as part of a sign-and-trade involving Dillon Brooks.
