Patty Mills led the Spurs to an easy win over the Cavaliers on Tuesday when he hit 8-of-11 shots and four 3-pointers on his way to 20 points, two rebounds and two assists.

Mills came off the bench and was one of 13 players to see decent run for the Spurs tonight. They were up big for most of the 125-90 win over the Cavs, and we'd recommend you leave Mills on waivers for now unless you're in a 20- or 30-team league.

Patty Mills' contract with the Spurs has a player option for the 2012-13 season.

If Mills exercises the option, he'll have a fully guaranteed base salary of just under $900,000 for the season. He has no fantasy value as long as Tony Parker and Gary Neal are both healthy.

Patty Mills made his Spurs debut on Tuesday, but failed to shoot or score in four minutes.

As long as Gary Neal is healthy, Mills isn't likely to see much run for the Spurs.

Spurs signed G Patrick Mills to a contract.

Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released. Mills is expected to serve as Tony Parker's backup at point guard, and now his signing is official after clearing up work visa issues. He's highly unlikely to come into consistent fantasy value barring an extended absence from Parker.

Patty Mills has signed a contract with the Spurs and could join the team "within a week, pending the resolution of work visa issues."

We had previously noted that Mills' delay was a result of government work visa issues, so this should have been expected. Mills' agent said he's "eager" to resume in the NBA, and he should immediately see minutes as Tony Parker's (hamstring) backup. The deal is believed to be for two years. We'd like to see the severity of Parker's injury and how Mills looks in a game before recommending him.

The Spurs signing of Patty Mills is being delayed due to government work visa issues according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.

Wojnarowski also writes that the Spurs have "no plans" to talk to Derek Fisher, so it appears the team is confident that Mills will ultimately be signed. He'll serve as a backup behind Tony Parker once he comes into the fold.

Patty Mills has signed a two-year contract with the Spurs.

The Blazers renounced Mills' rights and multiple teams were quick to jump on him, as he's a solid backup PG with both NBA and international experience. He should slide into the Spurs' rotation before long, playing the backup PG role vacated by retiring T.J. Ford.

Patty Mills' Chinese team Xinjiang alleged that he faked his hamstring injury before releasing him on Tuesday.

Mills had been out almost two weeks with the ailment, but the team didn't believe he was truly injured. "Due to a fake injury, the Xinjiang team has cut the foreign player Mills," said GM Hou Wei. This is just another friendly reminder that basketball in China doesn't exactly work the same way it does stateside.

Patty Mills has been released by Xinjiang of the Chinese Basketball Association, accoding to Yahoo! Sports.

He's been out 10 days with hamstring injury and despite being released, he would still have to be cleared by FIBA in order to return to the NBA before March. If he is cleared look for him to try to head back to Portland to play with the Blazers.

Patty Mills has left the Melbourne Tigers in Australia and has signed with the Xinjiang Guanghui Flying Tigers in China.

Mills will be on a more lucrative contract than he was earning in Australia. He will not have an opt-out and will spend the entire season in China.

According to the Herald Sun, Patty Mills will sign with the Melbourne Tigers.

Mills was linked to the Turkish team Anadolu Efes a few weeks ago, but he never put pen to paper and has decided to play in Australia instead. He wasn't a lock to make the Trail Blazers despite the team extending a qualifying contract offer, so hopefully he hones his skills overseas.

Patty Mills wrote on Thursday that he has not signed a contract with any team, but will be "making [his] decision in the next couple of weeks."

Mills was said to have agreed on a deal with the Turkish club Anadolu Efes, but that was a premature report. He's a backup guard in the NBA but could have a featured role on the right squad in Europe -- it is likely that Mills won't have an 'NBA-out' for the end of the lockout.

According to Ismail Senol, Anadolu Efes has agreed to terms with Patty Mills.

Mills was mulling overseas offers, and it appears he finally found one to his liking. With the signing, Senol confirmed that Keyon Dooling will no longer be joining the team, as they have chosen Mills instead of him. Mills will join Sasha Vujacic on the team. He will not have an "out" clause in the deal.

The Blazers made a qualifying offer to guard Patty Mills on Wednesday, making him a restricted free agent.

He's still not a lock to make the team and reports are that the Blazers aren't likely to match if he receives and offer from another team.

Blazers PG Patty Mills is an unrestricted free agent.

The Blazers have a lot of decisions to make this offseason, particularly at point guard. Andre Miller has a $7.8 million team option and Mills has some upside that they likely won't want to get away. GM Rich Cho has to decide if Mills is ready to take the reigns -- we doubt the St. Mary's product is.

Patty Mills had 23 points, five boards and two assists in 29 minutes off the bench as the Blazers fell to the Warriors on Wednesday.

The Blazers will face the Mavericks in Round 1 after benching most of the starters tonight. LaMarcus Aldridge, Gerald Wallace, Brandon Roy and Marcus Camby didn't play, while Andre Miller started, but only saw seven minutes tonight. Wesley Matthews scored 18, Armon Johnson added 12 points, Luke Babbitt double-doubled with 11 points and 11 boards, Chris Johnson had eight points, 13 boards and a block, and Earl Barron started to finish with five points and 11 rebounds in the loss.

Patty Mills played 14 minutes and hit 6-of-8 shots for 14 points and three assists Wednesday.

He's not a fantasy-worthy player in most leagues, but is back in the rotation to stay. If Andre Miller were ever to go down, Mills would be worth a look.

Patty Mills played 28 minutes and hit four 3-pointers on his way to 14 points and three assists Wednesday, while starter Andre Miller had just 11 points and four dimes in 19 minutes.

We didn't see the game, but know that Miller was in there late, meaning he's healthy. Maybe Mills simply outplayed him tonight, but as of now, Miller is still the point guard to own in Portland. Watch for news on this developing situation on Thursday and Friday, and keep a close eye on Mills is he out-minutes Miller again on Friday against Minnesota.

Trail Blazers guard Patty Mills set a new career-high with 14 points vs. the Rockets on Sunday. He made 6-of-12 FGs with two 3s, five assists, and five steals.

Mills also turned the ball over four times, but he was undeniably effective and helped add some punch to a solid showing from Portland's bench. Still, he's only worth owning in deep leagues while Andre Miller is around.

Patrick Mills did not start Tuesday's game as previously discussed by coach Nate McMillan, but still played 29 minutes off the bench on his way to nine points on 4-of-9 shooting (no threes) with three rebounds and seven assists.

McMillan decided to start Brandon Roy and Wesley Matthews in the backcourt, but Mills looked pretty good tonight and locked up the backup PG job. He won't have any fantasy value going forward with Andre Miller returning from his one-game suspension.
