LMAO Andre Miller fits a Mike D'Antoni system like a square peg in a round hole. Can't run, can't shoot.
Hmm... if there is ONE thing that the Knicks do not need it's another PG. I mean, really... Andre Miller? He's a fine player, but he's 33 and he's not going to be a big enough improvement for that team to sniff the playoffs, let alone challenge for a championship. The Knicks have a LOT of holes on that team, but I think PG should be well down their list of things to fix. Ed O.
I heard that he's getting offered one-year offers. If so, there's no harm for the Knicks: the Jazz has their TOTALLY UNPROTECTED pick for next year, so they really want to be as good as possible, while still saving room for the shot at James.
A one year deal is different than a three year deal, which is what I thought they were talking. NY might as well sign guys to one year deals because, as you say, mediocrity isn't as bad as it normally is in a rebuilding process when you don't have your own pick. Ed O.
I must be getting old. I remember when the job description of a PG involved setting up your team-mates....not standing around like a wooden indian, 40 feet away from the basket.
I never knew wooden Indians were such great 3 point shooters. I wonder why there are none of them in the NBA. Is that the whole "don't eat cow" thing? In the context of D'Antoni - his system requires a point guard that is good in a fast system and is creative with the ball and is a good scorer and shooter. Miller is 2 out of 3. Given that they had Duhon and Nate-Rob last year - he will be an upgrade.
