Mills to stay in Draft - likes GSW

Fisher is untouchable due to his close relationship with Kobe...

SKUX, if you read the thread, you will see why LABoy and I were speculating that he could possibly go to the Lakers, and why I said I doubt he will go to the Warriors.

LABoy - nice to see that the Hoops SA community is lucky enough to include hoop fans from the other side of the globe. So will you get to a few Finals games then?

Also, I asked above why you thought Fish was untouchable, but I think you missed it. I was thinking he is likely to be expiring contract fodder next season. Any reason why he wouldn't be?

Hi LA Boy - by back home I guess you mean you are in LA right now? Whats the connection with Hoops SA? Do you split time in Adelaide/ Australia and the US?

Also, just interested to know why you think Fish is untouchable? He seems like he has slowed down this season and has now become a liability for the Lakers. I believe he is on the books for one more season at $5mill, so that would make him expiring contract fodder would it not?

You are probably right that the Lakers would pick up Mills more as trade bait than as the answer to their PG woes. He is just not ready to start for a contending team like the Lakers next season.

I'd definitely prefer that Mills land somewhere that there is less pressure on him to run an offence straight away, but where his ability to rack up quick points off the bench would be seen as an asset.

Oh yeah - the other problem for Mills is that the Warriors pick #7. No way they take him that high. They would have to trade down.

Looking at teams picking late in the lottery, my worst fears could come true, with Lakers taking him at #29 (ugghh - I think it would make me sick watching him in purple and yellow!)

Was just about to post the same thing Hong Kong. Are you also NBL Indonesia and NBL <insert asian country here> by the way? Also, just checked Draft Express and they have moved Mills up one slot to #29 now too. So he is starting to look more like a solid late first round pick, with all of the major draft websites pegging him somewhere from #20 - #30. The Warriors would be okay for him, being close to what he is used to and being a high octane team. I still think he could do worse than Atlanta though. They have great athletes that would thrive in an up-tempo game, have an ageing Bibby whose current successor (Acie Law) hasn't lived up to expectations, and are already a playoff team. Mills could be absolutely explosive off the bench for that team, whilst not having to shoulder too much responsibility for running the offence with Bibby being the starter.
