    PG isn't really our weakest position...

    If he wants Battier, then surely we've got to make him pay!

    Uhm, if they offer B-Roy, Morey better take it. I need to stop dreaming though.

    It's not that bad,but we do not need Miller,despite our less than ideal PG situation.

    What?
    A deal only goes down for Morey if we will clearly rob the other side, not the other way around.

    Miller is more of an all-round PG than Brooks or Lowry. Battier is starting to show decline, I guarantee by next season, Battier will be forced to the bench. Portland offering Miller for Battier is a STEAL for us.

    I would do Brooks or Lowry + Battier for Miller and Fernandez.

    I don't know if that's all that was included in that proposed deal - but Miller for Battier straight up is absurd. We have no need for Miller. And the only reason to get rid of Battier would be if we are rebuilding - in which case, Miller is actually a few years older than Battier. So we don't gain a position of need. We get older. We get smaller. And we move a team leader and mentor to our rookies.

    Let's do it.

    hahaha miller? yeah right

    pritchard i am beginning to think isnt really that crazy awesome GM people make him to be.

    He drafts pretty well and has made some good picks given the money of his owner.

    but otherwise his non-draft signings/trades have been bad

    he just seemed to be trying to throw that cap space at anyone last season regardless if they fit or not
