<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Brad Miller was in the Indiana Pacers' locker room after their win over Sacramento on Sunday before most of the Pacers were out of the shower. He looked as if he belonged. He only wishes he did. Miller, traded from Indiana to the Kings in 2003 when the negotiations for his contract spiraled out of the Pacers' self-imposed financial reach, is happy in Sacramento. He's thriving on the court, too, averaging 14.9 points on 52 percent shooting and leading the team in rebounding (7.8) and assists (5.5). He'd be happier, however, with the Pacers, for whom he played 11/2 seasons. That's why, following their 25-point victory at Arco Arena, he all but closed his eyes, clicked his heels, and said, "There's no place like home" as he stood in their locker room. "If it's possible, when I'm done with this, I'll try to finish up there," Miller said. "There won't be an issue of a contract. Whatever it takes. I'll take the minimum." The minimum? Miller's contract, which does not expire until after the 2009-10 season, will pay him about $68 million. A minimum contract would be quite a drop. By then, however, Miller will be 34 and have more money than he ever dreamed of having. "I got more money saved up now than what I can spend the rest of my life," he said. "I'd have to buy the whole state of Indiana to spend what I got." Miller seems intent on doing just that. He already has bought several hundred acres of land in and around Kendallville, where he grew up, and is looking for 400 more on which to build a home. He spends most of his offseason there, and will be heading there over the All-Star break. He's hoping to go ice fishing.</div> Source
The dude just loves Indiana. <font color=""black"">No doubt everyone on the planet is going to try to spin this as Miller wanting out of SAC. But that isnt the case. He actually said hes happy with the Kings in this article.</font> He being paid a ton and playing the best ball of his career by far in SAC, of course hes happy.
A little to defensive there don't you think? ^^^ Well anyways while Miller is "happy" in Sacramento I'm not surprised that he is missing Indy. Who wouldn't miss that team? That's a great organization with the league most underrated coach. Through all the problems, injuries, distractions and so forth Rick Carlise has his team competing each and every single night. The atmosphere is great in Indy even with the retirement of Miller and the winning attitude is still there.
