[NY Post] Nuggets, Cavaliers and Rockets "sincere suitors" for Andre Miller

Now it's time of Stars on Sale. Let's steal or rob other teams. Yao/T-mac will never be traded in middle of season unless you want to rebuild.

 

Was A Miller used to be a Nugget before AI came to Denver? What the heck of that ?

 

Because fans can dream?

 

Andre Miller would for sure cost us a rookie ... and WOULD be an upgrade at PG ... I just don't know if he puts us over the top as contenders. I guess it depends on who we lose in the deal. If we could get him with a draft pick and cash instead of a rookie, I'd do the deal. He's great at distributing the ball, and getting to the basket, but not with the highest IQ. But teams do better after he gets there. Although, why do people keep moving him?

I'd rather Cassell, I think ... or Hinrich or Gordon.

 

Miller would be a great addition, but at what cost? He is an excellent mid-range shooter. I really like his game, he could easily run this offense. He has size too.

 

Yea he was a Nugget and he played well when he was there. His best season he avg. over 13 points and 8 dimes on 46% shooting. And he still playing well this season.

 

I was not saying I would do the trade, but I am pretty sure any combinations of snyder + james + head + wells + sf3 won't be enough to get any of the 3.

 

andre miller should only be an option if the rockets can trade their trash for him (e.g. james and snyder for miller). miller is not a good defender or shooter. he makes a living by posting up guys and killing them with his more than solid mid range game. i'm not sure where he would fit in with that in our offense. and given that we already have enough post up options we don't really use enough (scola, bonzi, t-mac and yao) we don't really need him. of course we need pg depth but i doubt miller is the best option out there. i would take sam cassell over him 100 out of 100 times.

 

Man, I'm torn on this. I was a big fan of Miller when he was w/ the Cavs. The problem is Miller has absolutely no long range game. As mediocre as Alston is, Miller won't (and shouldn't) take 3's. Strictly as a penetrator and creator he's pretty good, has a solid mid-range game (where we are somewhat weak at) and I think on a team like ours he could easily crack the top 10 in assists. Overall I think he'd be an upgrade, but I don't know if that gain is big enough to warrant trading any of our promising rookies.

 

I've been thinking the same thing, even when he was being held captive by the wizards.
He can easily bring up the ball and set up the offense(give to tmac or yao) maybe he's not the best ball handler, but he knows his role and would never jeapordize a set play with a tear drop or a pull up 3 with 22 seconds left. Snyder for juan carlos should work.

 

you're out of your mind if you think we have to give up tmac to get any one of those players.

 

i think we can still make the BEST OFFER for andre miller even if we include mike james into the deal, provided we give them one of our young talent, such as aaron brookes. as many pundits mentioned, our window is not too wide with tmac declining physically year by year, so keeping aarong brooks is not going to help us in the short term. its a justifiable risk to take. given that our first this year is prolly going to be somewhere in the 19-22, we can give the best offer to philly, while at the same time dumping MJ's contract. However, the biggest obstacle i see is with the streak that philly is having, will they give up a floor leader to give these young 76ers playoff hopes and a chance to get playoff experience.

 

I'm guessing the Rockets management don't have lots of faith invested in Skip to take us to the promise land?

 

the only players im willing to let go is kirk, Mike, and Steve maybe chuck. Mark my words the rockets are not giving up any of their rookies

 

Why oh why do we STILL have trade T-Mac posts? Unless a GM goes completely insane and offers Lebron, Kobe, or Wade, trading T-Mac sets us back at least 3 years.

 

I'd prefer the Rockets look for another wing/scorer. I like the idea of Gordon Giricek, Mike Miller, JR Smith, Cuttino (I read that he's available), or another similar type of player.

Still, I doubt the Rockets do anything except deal Snyder.

 

I agree. Adding a wingman would provide the luxury of solid depth. But adding a VETERAN point guard is a very close second on my personal priority list for the Rockets on one condition: Get the vet PG WITHOUT giving up Rafer.

Come playoff time, Aaron Brooks will become a major question mark. Will the nerves get in the way, or will he take that swagger from Oregon directly to the playoff picture? If Brooks becomes awe strucked and lets the nerves get in the way of his play, Rafer's minutes will increase and his productivity will likely decrease.

A Rafer/A. Miller combo in the playoffs would be a nice insurance in case Brooks doesn't work out in the playoffs. Pluse, Andre Miller would be the thunder to Brooks lightning.

 

He doesn't take a lot of shots. He is a true PG that makes great decisions about when to pass and when to shoot. His biggest weakness is that he can not shoot from behind the arc.

 

Navarro is soft as a pillow.
