After previously reaching deals with Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks, Houston’s busy start to 2023 free agency continued with a trade for veteran Brooklyn guard Patty Mills and the signing of third-year big man Jock Landale, mostly recently of Phoenix.
The trade for Mills, who is well regarded for his perimeter shooting and leadership, was first reported by The Athletic. Now 34 years old, the 6-foot-1 guard has averaged 9.0 points (38.9% on 3-pointers) in 20.4 minutes per game over 14 NBA seasons.
