Found this on hoopshype,
"Patrick Mills has decided to take his talents to Turkey, where he will play for Anadolu Efes."
Looks like Mills has headed to Europe, bringing an end to the hope of having him play here. Good luck Patty! Hopefully he turns some heads and snags another NBA contract when the lockout ends!

I think if he can be a starting PG in the Euroleague for a season this will be the best thing for him. He will have NBA teams watching him closely and he would return with even more confidence and some much needed playing time under this belt.

Mills will be joining Andrew Bogut's Bucks teammate Ersan Ilyasova at Anadolu Efes.

:( I was hoping he'd sign with the Breakers to piss everyone off
Nothing could piss anyone off more than the Breakers themselves for their very existance! So wouldve been a waste.
Goodluck to him, signing in Aus wouldnt have gotten him anywhere, as far as development or respect from the NBA, now he has a chance to prove himself with every game!

Mills' agent is now saying there's no truth to this deal. Either still in progress or fabricated?
It'd be cool to see him play in the NBL but for the sake of his career he's definitely better off playing in Europe while the NBA lockout lasts (more money + more exposure + higher standard of ball)
