My view is trade the one that brings us the best value in return (a backup C like Gortat?), don't really care if it's Blake or Miller, Miller IMO has more value so maybe it's him.
What do you mean? Which three players are you talking about? Miller, Blake and Bayless? If that's the choices, then I would keep Blake and Bayless. Miller's contract is a doozy. Blake and Bayless are nice contracts. If Blake isn't working, then you can just let him go and not be accountable for that salary later on.
Assuming Rudy is healthy, Blake is redundant. Miller allows the team to change the pace, and go up-tempo for stretches.
Logically, groom JB to be the starting PG next to Roy with Blake as a 3P specialist/limited minutes backup makes sense, but - given that Blake is an expiring this year and Miller is an expiring next year, I would not be surprised to see Blake moved this year, and Miller next one.
Completely disregarding talent level, I think it'd be a lot easier to send an expiring 4M contract away (espec. for a backup) than miller's ~8M this year and next. I said keep Miller and Bayless
Exactamundo. We should be shooting towards going to a 3 guard rotation, with Roy, Bayless, and Rudy. Keep one other guard as a backup. This would provide the following 1. 32 minutes a game apiece to keep everybody happy and keep Roy from getting worn down. 2. There is plenty of playmaking opportunity for all of them to keep them all happy. Rudy had alluded to this in the pre season. 3. All 3 can finish on the break. 4. All 3 can shoot. 5. All 3 can handle a flaming bag pass and make something postive out of it. 6. Any combination of two of them can handle the defensive responsibilities. It is just a matter of choosing who guards who.
Well your going to laugh at this. It was me, accidently. I accidently clicked the wrong radio button, and unfortunately I did not have my coffee yet, and hit the wrong one and didn't catch it. That just goes to show you, boys and girls, don't do anything until thoroughly caffeinated!
This is a no brainer...here's the real question. Is Andre Miller a better basketball player than Blake?.....Yes. Get rid of Blake...Start Bayless because he is obviously going to be around for a while. Let Rudy and Miller be our primary scoring off the bench. Bayless will have growing pains, but he is much more of an all around threat than Blake.
You see murderous hunger. I see competitive spirit. Frankly, we need a few more baby-eaters on this team.
The return of Patty Mills is gonna be telling. That said, I say keep Miller and, short of an in-season trade, let Blake walk at the end of this season
