Grizzlies Game notes: Miller, Lowry must play waiting game By Ronald Tillery (Contact) Wednesday, February 20, 2008 SEATTLE -- Fittingly or not, veteran Mike Miller and second-year point guard Kyle Lowry sat next to each other in the visitors' locker room Tuesday night before the Grizzlies took on the Seattle SuperSonics. They may be a package deal by the weekend. Trade winds blew strongly as the NBA resumed its schedule following All-Star weekend. The league's trade deadline is Thursday afternoon, and Miller and Lowry figure prominently in speculation suggesting that the Griz could move them as a combo. Denver and the Los Angeles Clippers, who the Griz face tonight in the Staples Center, are the teams reportedly making a serious push for Miller and Lowry's services. However, no deals were imminent. The Griz have officially rejected at least five sane offers for Miller and they were not close to consummating anything with the 14 squads interested in Lowry, according to a team insider. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies' most-wanted were trying to block out the noise heard annually at the trade deadline. "I don't worry about it," Lowry said. "It's my agent's job to worry about it. My job is to go out there and play for the Grizzlies. I'm too young to worry about getting traded." According to Yahoo.com, the Clippers' attempt to acquire Miller and Lowry was with a package that included Sam Cassell and Aaron Williams. "You always wonder. But at the same time, there's nothing I can do about it," Miller said. "I just keep myself ready. My loyalty is here. I'm going to try to win games here until they tell me otherwise." Entering Tuesday's action, Miller was averaging 21.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game on 52 percent shooting from 3-point range in the Grizzlies' 14 wins. The team was 0-22 with Miller scoring fewer than 17 points. Lowry ranks third among NBA sophomore in assists (3.6 per game), trailing Portland's Brandon Roy and Boston's Rajon Rondo. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/feb/20/miller-lowry-must-play-waiting-game/
chris wallace is a freaking dumb gm. traded Gasol cheap in a hurry w/o even throwing brian cardinal's bad contract in it. Now he asks a higher price tage for a lesser player Mike Miller (+ Brian cardinal's contract). Wtf! It's always funny business with this wallace dude.
