6 foot 1 lol!!!!!

Patty Beast
to play well in this is like a norm smith medal
Great stuff

Is that the best finals performance by an Aussie in nba? Not sure of longleys impact in title wins. Hugely impressive either way.

Awesome performance from Patty!!! Great win by the Spurs, well deserved!!

Baynes with 2 points,

Patty/Baynes win NBA final, Ingles wins Euroleague final... Looks like the top Aussies are in good winning form ahead of the worlds and the confidence will do wonders for this team... I am picking Boomers to surprise the powerhouses this year, especially if Bogut can get off his ass.

Patty Mills becomes a Free Agent this summer, expect him to sign a pretty decent contract after his performance in regular season and particularly these finals.

That is interesting Lance, if he doesn't get his worth in a decent offer from the Spurs his management will be filled with other NBA offers I would imagine.

Really up to the Spurs now, they know what they have and they shouldn't let him go...

Yea looking at what some other guys with a similar(ish) stat line get he should be able to get around 3-6 million mark, i guess it will depend on how many offers he gets to drive his price up and whether he is keen to keep winning at the Spurs or get a pay rise elsewhere.

Potentially a great pay rise for patty who is currently on around 1.1 mil.

I hope that the Spurs offer him the cash he deserves and that he takes that and stays there. I'd be pretty confident in both happening. 3-5 mill for Patty over 3 years to lock him up as a Spur for the forseeable future.

I could actually see Miami offering Mills a spot. I think for Mills to leave the offer would need to be a starting role, forget the $$

if he jumps ship for one of the league's more poorly run franchises, it could be a massive mistake.

Yep couldnt have timed it better to have a break season/finals.

I agree with Isaac, and would do the same.

Its a bit like the Melo scenario to it comes down to if he wants success or $$$.

If Patty wants to keep winning he should stay at the Spurs and see if he can slowly increase his role as guys like Ginobli and Parker move closer to retirement.

If he wants $$ he will simply take the best offer and see how he goes in a different club, may not be the worse for him as he could potentially get more minutes aswell.

Worse case scenario is he will likely make somewhere around $3 mil+ next season to play basketball no matter who he plays for, what role he has, if he wins or not. Not really a bad situation to be in he cant really lose.

Not only did he play great, the American commentators openly talked about Indigenous land rights to an audience of hundreds of millions. I bet 90% of Australians didn't even know Mabo day existed.

Props to Mills for really stepping up in this series.

That 3rd quarter was other worldly.

Should see his paycheck triple at the very least. Well deserved. Has another good 10 years in him

Congratulation Patty.
To average 10 points a game at 56% from 3 in the NBA finals series is a awesome performance. To average more than both the Heat point guards & future hall of fame guard Ray Allen is crazy & not something that I thought was possible 12 months ago.

If Gary Neal can get $3.25 mil a year, Patty should be able to get at least $4 mil.
