Well... there you go. Pretty good upgrade over A. Holiday. 

 

BUT, could be flipped again in as an expiring in a trade.

 

Just call him HotPoPatty

I wonder if this was what Trae was talking about.

 

Very good pickup adding Mills as a backup PG.   A veteran that knows how to play the game, and has the ability to come up with very good offensive games at times.   This is a Lou Will type signing.  I like it.

Also will be good for drawing Australian fans to the Hawks.

This gives the Hawks an even better asset for deals than that collection of players.

Patty Mills. If we keep him, he is the veteran presence we need on a deep run. 

[Gray Mule]

Consolidation trade, three for one, a usable asset + Hawks reduce payroll.

What's not to like about this deal??

[GameTime]

If we keep him good. If not maybe a bigger move is coming?

[Spud2nique]

Smart move, vets baby vets! Always been a Patty dude from St. Mary’s. One of the best second round picks ever. Spur, knows exactly what he’s doing and runs a team very well.

We might have the best PG/BU PG I’m the league .. BEFORE THE SCRUBS!!! Screw CP3

It was a great run for Rudy as a Hawk.

[Spud2nique]

We could only have 1 Gay (pronounced) dude on the squad.

was showing shades of his UConn days... really showing the quickness with that whole "now you see me, now you don't" move he just did. 

[sillent]

This is a move that although I definitely don't mind keeping will probably end up being flipped again for a bigger move.

Why???

Because if not it will go on record that we essentially traded JC for Patty Mills.

That doesn't hurt our team as currently constructed but I know Landry's ego is speaking to the back of his brain like "you know you can do better than that". lol

[gurpilo]

Well, I hope we keep him, we need some vets on this team, would be really good if we can add a big vet and a forward.

Perhaps Jamychal Green or Dedmon? I don’t know if they can still contribute, we really need help.

Hope the Hawks have a plan. I can't wait to see what it is.
