Even though Patty Mills was available last summer, and has ties to Udoka from their San Antonio glory days, Udoka and Brad did not make Mills their target (even though bench scoring and sharp shooting was a need).
Reason is (I think) Patty Mills is not a defender. Sure he will knock down lots of 3's, but we won't be able to switch him on to anyone on defense.
We're building our culture and identity.

What about Bruce Brown, currently of the Nets, but a free agent after this season? The Boston area native has been impressive in the playoffs, has become a very good 3 point shooter, is clearly a gamer and made less than $5 mil this season. The Nets are way over the cap, so may not want to pay up to keep him. I have no idea what he'll get on the open market.

Watching Bruce Brown who has played solid D, can shoot the 3 at an average rate, and makes hustle plays..I'd imagine he'd get an offer around the 4 year 48 mil mark, or potentially more from a team with cap space and looking for young glue guys. Pacers seem like the right choice for him to grow next to Haliburton and is more likely to stay on the court than Levert. Not sure we have cap room to grab him.

Would prefer more height and length, but he's not a bad choice. Highly doubt he'll come cheaply and for a bench role, though.

I'll echo at what other have said, i think Brown would be a great choice, but he's priced himself out of our market. This will be his first big payday.

On the other hand, Claxton just lost all his market value in a single game... lol

Any chance that Hayward is bought out (2 years $60 mil remaining) and we can sign him dirt cheap?
I'd love to have him as the veteran wing off the bench.
