Mike Miller Race

Been posted a few threads down. Feigen also said long shot. Probably will end up with Cleveland seeing as James was pissed with the Heat for letting him go.

 

is he healthy enough to play?

 

Played 82 games last year.

 

Miller is a massive defensive liability at this point, and we certainly don't need any of those regardless of shooting prowess.

 

This Mike Miller thing has me interested for one reason in particular.

The type of contract the Rockets offer him will tell you alot about their 12 month plan. If the length extends guaranteed money beyond this year than that tells us that 2015 free agency as it stands is completely off the table for a close to or near max player, and they are going to be specifically focused on trades.

I think that opens up the possibility that they might do an Ilyasova, Thad Young, or whomever type of trade if they feel like the contract value is tradable. Get someone that can fit in that trade exception perfectly so they have variety of salaries with decent players that expire in 2015 at the latest.

If its a 1 year guaranteed deal than it still looks like they might hold out hope for 2015 free agency.

 

This man will knock down 3's. Hope he does take a look at us.

 

Wasn't Mike and Dwight big buddies back in Orlando?

 

Makes me think back to before we'd traded Kevin Martin when we were looking at him as an option when he was with Washington.

 

Better than Garcia

 

but years before last he wasn't
hope not another brent barry type signing

 

That's why Ariza is a good fit ...so our D doesn't suck.

 

I think people are remembering those last two years in Miami when Miller was playing with a jacked up back. His defense isn't defiant, but it was much better last year as he was much healthier and had better lateral quickness.

You know what is though that the Rockets desperately need.... rebounding. One of the best rebounding wings in the league over the past years, and he's great at moving the basketball. Fills our needs extremely well.

 

He's not coming here period.

 

those role players won't come here

 

Money talks. Rockets have $10mil to burn now. Problem is Morey will only offer him a 1 year contract.

 

I've wanted him for years, hope this one goes our way!

 

I am pretty sure Mike Miller's race is Caucasian.

Anyhow, Morey will try to sign Miller, but only under a contract structure that works for the team, I'm sure. Probably willing to go higher upfront $ but only for 1 year guaranteed with 2nd year non-guaranteed. Assets and flexibility and all. Denver is reported to offer $12M over 3 years, with Cavs offering $5.5M over 2 years (Room Exception). I wonder what Morey is willing to do. Full Midlevel? A portion of it? A S&T with the Lin TPE? Go the cap room route? What do we need to reserve to keep Daniels?

Dallas only has the room exception, after having created and spend cap room to sign Parsons, right?

Houston can conceivably be a nice "middle ground" for Miller, with more $ to offer than the Cavs (unless the Cavs do a S&T, maybe sending a young player to MEM) and better chance at winning than Denver.

If Mike Miller goes elsewhere, why not try to get Delfino? I don't think MIL would demand too much for him.
