What's your take on him? For me, I think he's played well..really well. He really directs the flow of the game...I would be disappointed trading him because then we're stuck with poor PG play like the last few years. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_y...g=mc-afterthebuzzer012210&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
Like most players he needed a bigger role to produce. It will be interesting to see how things go when everyone one gets healthy.
He won't be moved. I don't see any trades happening and if there is one that takes place, I would hope it's not him leaving.
agreed... which is why someone who can produce in a lessor role holds value over similar level players who can't STOMP
I love the guy and I think he needs a longer leash. I really think he can take us far in the playoffs. If he is in the game, I feel almost as safe\comfortable as I do with Roy in the game.
i think hes been great and unless kp makes a deal at some point for a younger pg or bayless emerges.... I think hes our guy for the 2 years. infact i think we use the option to keep him. remember too.... miller turns on his play once January starts... hes a second half player. this was too be expected according to most. Also quick said on the pod cast yesterday that A source inside the Blazers said there's no chance they trade miller at this point.
Me too Bro. And I also think if he will re-sign with us for cheap, we should take it. I wouldn't mind if he retired here. He has a lot to teach Bayless (eFF Blake) and hell, he can even teach Roy some stuff. I really like Miller. I have already seen both of them do Millers little ball fake, get the defender to jump and run into him thing. I love that~!!!
I've always liked Miller's game and I think he's proving he can fit alongside the team's best player (no, not Blake, their other best player). I haven't been disappointed in him at all, just the role McMillan placed him in for a while. I still think he's a very good point guard and makes the team significantly better.
Pretty much my thoughts about Miller exactly. He's definitely lost a step defensively, but he's just so damn smart with his help D, and the way he can draw opposing players into a charge. For a 2-3 year period I can see him continue to be very effective if only because his game has never been predicated on blazing speed and he hasn't been able to jump for about 5 or 6 years anyway. And like I felt when they initially signed him, I think he has a lot to teach these younger Blazers -- and maybe even Nate too.
I never expected him to be the scorer that he is. I guess I haven't watched him enough over the years. I thought he would be more of a distributor, but I'm very happy with his production. He was a great pickup in an otherwise disappointing offseason.
His game has definitely changed over the years; his last two years in Philly he was really pushed into being more of a scorer and less a distributor, and now with so many guys out here you're seeing those instincts to take over kick in a little bit, I think -- and thank God, we'd be straight bent over and buggered without him this past month.
After going for 28 PTS, 8 REB and 8 AST tonight, he's now averaging 20.4 PPG, 4.2 RPG and 6.9 APG for the month of January. Not bad for a guy who doesn't fit in. BNM
As long as it's a quality big. What's the saying about never trading big for small. If small, unathletic, old Andre Miller can fetch a decent big in return that certainly says something about his value as a player. At least we won't have to PAY somebody to take him off our hands like the last PG we traded. BNM
I have to admit, I wasn't too happy with him for a while there but he's really turned it up. Who woulda thought that more playing time would be a good thing? I say, I wouldn't cry over a Steve Blake for Brendan Haywood trade.
