Rumor Blazers eyeing Miller?

Miller is in his last legs but he will be a great addition for his passing skills.

I understand Miller is an upgrade, but I feel like Portland needs a PG who can knock down shots since Roy does a lot of the ball handling. I guess they figure they have that waiting in the wings in Bayless. Still, I think Bibby might be a better fit.

That would be the great thing about them acquiring Miller - Roy won't have to do the ball handling, he'll be able to concentrate on scoring.

Doesn't he do a great job of both already? I mean he does a great job with the ball in his hands making the right decision whether it is to shoot or pass. I feel like keeping him off the ball would only really limit his abilities and true greatness when it is not necessary.

I just think Bibby would be a better fit (possibly cheaper aswell) and gives them playoff experience to help them take that next step.

I mean Miller is an upgrade over Blake too, but it might cost them Outlaw or Webster.

miller would be a terrible fit in portland. they do need a pg that can hit the spot up shots, where blake fit in well. miller can't hit the broad side fo a barn.

his D is on the backend of his career, did you see him get his ankles broken by d rose last year?

Andre Miller is the best lob-passer I have ever seen in my 30+ years on this planet. during his time in Denver, I was in awe of the oops he used to initiate. He looks like Richard Pryor too, so he has that going for him!

He does look like Pryor! I've always said that and even more amazing is that he actually sounds just like him too!
