Patty Mills DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Clippers acquired guard Patty Mills and center Drew Eubanks from the Jazz. In exchange, Utah will receive forward P.J. Tucker and center Mo Bamba. The 36-year-old is nowhere near the level of player that he was during his days in San Antonio, averaging only 4.4 points in 17 games with the Jazz this season. It's unknown how much work he'll receive in Los Angeles, assuming he remains on the roster. If anything, Mills will at least add another veteran voice to a team looking to make a deep postseason run. With that said, unless Mills gets routine action, which isn't likely to happen, he won't be featured in many fantasy lineups moving forward.

Miami Heat point guard Patty Mills wants to continue his playing career. Mills will turn 36 in August but is eager to remain in the NBA after splitting the 2023-24 campaign between Atlanta and Miami. "I take really good care of myself and my body and the plan is to continue to play until the wheels fall off is how I see it," Mills told Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Mills, who won the NBA championship with San Antonio in 2014, has mostly been used as a veteran presence on teams in recent seasons. He was limited to 13.0 minutes and 4.0 points in 32 appearances in 2023-24.

The Atlanta Hawks have waived veteran guard Patty Mills. The 35-year-old leaves the team after averaging just 10.6 minutes of action across 19 games in 2023-24. The team made the move to covert Trent Forrest's two-way contract into a standard deal. Forrest, who's playing his fourth year in the league, has had a similar role to Mills, featuring in 20 games and averaging 10.5 minutes, but he's a much younger player and could offer a lot more to the team going forward. However, Forrest has yet to make an impact in the NBA, with his career averages standing at 2.8 points and 1.7 assists.
