    From Adrian Wojandsk;fsdkfjwe: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_y...F?slug=aw-tradebuzz120309&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

    This pisses me off to no end. They haven't even tried ONE GAME with Miller starting at PG with Roy as his back court mate, and they're already trying to gauge his value in a trade? That too, in favor of Blake staying here?! WOW.

    What's bullshit?

    The idea of the AWoj knowin something, or KP bailing on Miller without giving him a fair chance?

    Smoke and mirrors on who's part? It doesn't accomplish a thing on our side, other than further damage the chemistry of this team.

    Wojo continues his hate on KP. Who's his source? Dwight Jaynes?

    Sorry, I don't think KP or anybody who has knowledge of the game would give up on a player with Dre's hoop IQ this quickly.

    Sorry, but this sounds like it's dead on. What is so hard to believe that the coaches have given up on Miller, Roy prefers Blake, and we're trying to move Miller off the team because he's our scapegoat.

    It's like that scene from the movie Celtic Pride when they blame the fan who shows up late to the game for the team playing poorly. Miller is apparently our "bad luck guy."

    I think you're spot on, Nate. Our coach is giving Miller the Sergio treatment (who ironically is having a career year).

    IF we are trading Miller, Washington has to be the first destination to consider. They need a PG because Arenas can't play that position, and they have a glut of forwards we could use; namely Jamison or Butler (or Mike Miller).

    Wojo stirring in some chum, and the usual suspects are devouring it.

    Really? He's been pretty accurate at blasting Kevin Pritchard. Perhaps I'm missing something factual?

    I think KP knows what we all dont want to admit... unless we make a move for a quality SF or PF... maybe both... we aren't making the playoffs. Plain and simple.

    And that would be a monster step back for this franchise. With Paul Allens health getting worse... there might start to be a sense of urgency for KP to right the ship. Perhaps Allen might say do whatever it takes to fix it. We have to replace outlaw with a scorer. We also need some defensive help. Im afraid KP needs to act with a sense of urgency.

    Once deals are done he gets a call and reports it...but a lot of the more nebulous "insider stuff" is manipulation of him by the GMs for their own means. (IMHO)

    Compared to most reporters, he has a decent track record for predicting trades. OTOH, he does have some odd grudge against KP, so who knows which side of his mouth this is coming from.

    Everybody who watches this team knows Aldridge starts slow and ends strong. He has done that every year through his career. Go back. Look at the numbers. Every year by end of year he is playing much better than the start. Including rebounding.
