Mills has been the example of consistency during his time with the Spurs and I think that he could be an excellent backup point guard to acquire to run the bench unit. The Heat’s bench needs a much needed scoring upgrade and I’m confident Mills could bring that to the table.

Kendrick Nunn and Goran Dragic seem closer and closer to leaving in free agency and bringing in Mills as one of their replacements could be a positive move. Mills also has championship experience, as he won the NBA championship with the Spurs in 2014.

Mills is an extremely hard working player who could add offense on the court and much needed leadership off it.
