NextImg:Patty Mills on the move again to Thunder after Nets salary dump

The Nets’ salary dump of Patty Mills to the Rockets will instead see the veteran guard rerouted to Oklahoma City.

The Thunder will receive draft compensation to take on Mills’ $6.8 million expiring contract, ESPN reported Sunday.

The Nets had agreed to trade the 14-year veteran to Houston on Saturday for salary-cap relief after agreeing to a one-year deal with former Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr.

The Athletic had reported Saturday that Mills was slated to be included in the Rockets’ sign-and-trade deal with Memphis for free-agent guard Dillon Brooks.

The 34-year-old Mills was the oldest remaining Net and the only player left on the roster with a championship ring, but he played in only 40 games last season with two starts, averaging 6.2 points per appearance.

He had averaged 11.4 points over a team-high 81 games in 2021-22, including a career-best 227 made 3-pointers, the second-most in one season in team history.

Brooklyn also traded Joe Harris and two future second-round picks to Detroit on Friday for salary cap relief, before re-signing restricted free agent Cam Johnson to a four-year contract worth $108 million.

Seth Curry (Mavericks) and Yuta Watanabe (Suns) have signed elsewhere as free agents.
