That'd be great to get him...I love his game and his shot...More and more rumors this time of year, so let's hope we don't do anything dumb...
ie I just don't see enough playing time for him (based on his contract) with McGrady, Wells and Battier all capable of playing the 2/3. And why would Memphis deal him to a division rival for only Luther in return?
The same reason they dumped Gasol to the Lakers for garbage. Memphis is hurting financially apparently.

I always knew Miller was a good shooter, but I didn't know he was shooting 50% and 43% from 3 on the season. Those are some great numbers.
The Grizzlies' only rival is the team playing at the Memphis YMCA. They are rebuilding and want to get rid of all bloated contracts. When you need to sell something you don't care if you sell to a rich guy or a poor guy.
I doubt we get him. I just read on espn.com that there are 14 teams intrested in him, and they did not mention are name as a front runner. They mentioned the clippers and the nuggets.......
I'll do that in a heartbeat with throwing in of $$$ & pick. This trade may have a chance to work because we're dealing with chris wallace and at the same time, wallace and morey have a relationship in their old Celtics days.
They will never take Mike James. Never! Miller is going somewhere though. Why else would he play for only 12 minutes last night after averaging 37 minutes a game. Memphis is being cautious with their commoditiy.
This one is more likely.

Good lord. The miserable Denver Buttnuggets are interested in anyone and everyone. I live in Denver, and everyone is buzzing about Ron Ron coming to town. If I have to hear the Iverson and Melo fans promising championships anymore, I'm gonna beat myself with my shoe.
