In the competitive arena of NBA, the fate of players fluctuates like a roller coaster. Recently, according to Shams, a number of sources revealed that the Eagles have waived 35-year-old guard Mills. This player who once performed well with the Spurs did not have a satisfactory life with the Hawks. He averaged only 2.7 points per game and his data was not satisfactory. But even so, will this player who is still a killer in the international arena usher in new vitality in the NBA?
Mills' career in the NBA has been full of twists and turns. As a former Spurs player, he was an important rotation player for the Spurs after Duncan retired. However, as he grew older and the team's lineup changed, his status in the Spurs gradually declined. After the 2019-20 season, he was traded to the Trail Blazers and played for the Nets last season. During his time in Brooklyn, Mills became a good helper next to Durant and helped the Nets achieve a good record.
Before the start of this season, Mills joined the Hawks, looking forward to rediscovering his former self in Atlanta. However, contrary to expectations, his performance in the Eagles did not meet expectations. His performance of 2.7 points per game obviously failed to meet the team's expectations, but this cannot be entirely attributed to his ability. In the Eagles, Mills did not get many playing opportunities, which also limited his performance.
However, as an experienced player, Mills' understanding and reading ability of the game are still top-notch. During his time with the Nets, his precise three-pointers and performance at critical moments left a deep impression on fans. Therefore, many fans and experts believe that as long as he is given the right opportunities and the right team system, Mills will still have the ability to shine in the NBA.
So, which team will become Mills' new home? Many fans and media have been talking about it, expressing their hope that the Suns can sign the experienced guard. This season, the Suns have performed strongly, but the team's personnel reserves on the back line are relatively weak. The addition of Mills will undoubtedly enhance the Suns' backcourt strength and provide more possibilities for the team to compete for the championship. Like a ray of warm sunshine, Mills' arrival will definitely bring new energy and hope to the Suns' backcourt.
What is even more gratifying is that Mills and Durant established a solid understanding and deep friendship during their time with the Nets. If Mills joins the Suns, he will join hands with Durant to once again challenge for the championship. This golden pair has already demonstrated unparalleled strength and tacit understanding during their time with the Nets. We have reason to believe that they will continue to write brilliant chapters in the Suns.
Of course, Mills' future is still full of unknowns. As a 35-year-old veteran, he needs to consider his career and future. But no matter what the result is, we hope that this experienced player can continue to show his talents and abilities in the NBA. Although Mills' performance this season is not satisfactory, as an experienced player, he still has the ability to shine in the NBA. We look forward to him proving his strength again in future games and bringing more exciting games and memories to the fans.
