Well he did played for the Kings for many years. Most likely he have a home there and family. Its nothing wrong with players going back to their homes during the summer. Its not like he supposed to stay in Houston all summer long just because he plays for us. If I played for another team, I would go back to Houston for the summer.
Thats a real good question and at this point I really dont have an answer to it. But there is FA looming , they could use the cap space and roster spot generated via a buy out of his deal there .... Or we have the draft coming up , the Rockets have three picks - 14 , 21 and 32?. Sure they could be packaged to move up or for a player. As the team stands now , Miller getting minutes , salary cap dollars and a roster spot is counter productive. I think they would be better off with a developing player than Miller .... Especially if they are planning on bringing Yao back , carrying both those guy's on the roster is a luxury they cant afford.
