Arr, ye scurvy NBA star be hoppin' from ship to ship like a landlubber on a wild goose chase!

Arrr, 'tis been whispered that ol' Patty Mills hath been traded - yet again! This here swashbucklin' NBA veteran, sailin' for 14 years, now findeth himself aboard his fourth ship this season, havin' been traded thrice in a mere ten days!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, it's been quite the offseason for Patty Mills, me hearties! The scurvy guard started his offseason as a member of the Brooklyn Nets, where he had been for two long years. But alas, the Nets found a new home for him on the Houston Rockets. Avast! But hold yer horses, the Rockets didn't hold onto him for long. They sent him off to the Oklahoma City Thunder faster than ye can say "shiver me timbers!"But fear not, me hearties, for Mills didn't have time to get too comfortable in Oklahoma City. Aye, just six days later, the Thunder sent him off to the Atlanta Hawks. What a whirlwind of a journey it has been for our matey Patty Mills!
And it seems Mills ain't the only one sailin' the seas of trade, me hearties. Rudy Gay, who was also part of this latest exchange, was sent to the Hawks from the Utah Jazz in late June. Arr, the Hawks welcomed him on Twitter, little did they know!
Now, me hearties, Mills be on an expiring contract worth a fair sum of just under $7 million. Aye, he be a valuable piece of treasure indeed. And there be speculation in the taverns that Mills might not even stay with the Hawks for long and could be set sailin' once again in search of a new ship.
Last season, Mills averaged a modest 6.2 points per game, a wee bit lower than his plunder of 5.1 points a decade ago. But fear not, me hearties, for Patty Mills be a savvy sailor on the court, and with the right winds blowin', he might just find himself back in the treasure chest of success!
