    Not bad actually, since the third year is a team option. I'm pretty much ok with this, although i was worried before I saw the option.

    Are you kidding me? Bibby got 3 years $18M. Miller for an extra $.6M a year is not bad at all.

    Yep...would NOT have liked the 3rd year guaranteed. 2 for 14 is ok.

    Re: BREAKING NEWS

    I'm guessing at least one year is a team option. $6.6mil/year isn't bad for Miller. He was only offered one year from Philly, so it might be two year guaranteed with the third year an option, which would be perfect.

    Oops, didn't see the details. I like this. I just hope we can come up with a succession plan for our PG after two years.

    I'm glad they are doing this early so hopefully he can come in and bond with his new teammates.

    Re: BREAKING NEWS

    Agreed. I'm guessing he thought it was 3 years guaranteed.

    Me too! That's fucking a steal. Blazers, IMO, played their cards nearly perfectly, after the Hedo debacle.

    Gains: Penetration, Post up ability, Size, and Open Court Strength. Take some load off of Roy.

    Losses: Outside shooting.

    Unsure if he is an improvement defensivly, my guess is it would be very hard not to, at least a little bit.

    Re: BREAKING NEWS

    I hate the deal, but I hope it works out of the best.

    Since I don't have any choice in the matter.

    At least Miller is better then Blake and Bayless. Actually better then the two of them put together.

    Please Mr Miller, don't suck balls.

    Re: BREAKING NEWS

    From 82games:

    Blake is +7.3 on offense; -0.5 on defense
    Miller is +1.5 on offense; -3.7 on defense

    This may show that Miller is a better defender than Blake, but there are a lot of other factors that can affect the numbers.
