    The dude is not that good. I didn't understand the signing at the time, and I still don't. I don't get it.

    just another reason to think kpee sucks. this roster is in need of so much yet guys in here really think we are gonna contend.

    he does nothing. im sure he is thrilled hes gonna be back in the lotto.

    he had a great stretch which means 1 of 3 things....

    1. league figured him out now he has to adjust

    2. he heard hes gonna be traded

    3. hes worn out from that effort

    you choose

    But you wanted Miller over the off season. You said he would be perfect but KP was too dumb to go after him.

    I think this shows that you are an act, man.

    Really? so you think it took the league 11 years to figure him out

    I've heard otherwise

    There might be something to this.

    Miller has been consistent over his entire career. He is a very very good point guard. 2 games doesn't take anything away from that.

    Miller is a gigantic upgrade over Blake, and a veteran upgrade over Bayless. It's not his fault his coach totally mishandled this situation from day one.

    Because the cap space was imaginary. We were forced to use it because we planned for it two years before it was available without actually having a real target to go after. It was either him or nothing at all.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Ha. Yes, the league has figured this young fella out. You can only go about 10.5 seasons before teams figure your gimmick out.

    I choose "Miller is tanking for a better draft pick."

    So even when KP gets the guy you wanted, he still sucks? Man, you say the stupidest shit of anyone in this forum, and that covers a lot of ground.

    You should consider changing your allegiance to the Harlem Globe Trotters. Them seem to have a pretty good record every year.

    Go Blazers

    Miller has 38 right now...I think we probably signed him to run the team but he's doing an awful good job at scoring tonight. You certainly made an ass out of yourself with this thread.

    I don't know why we signed Miller, we should have just given Blake a five year maximum extension! :devilwink:

    Yeah, you're right. He sucks. Nailed that one, didn't you?

    Before the next game, could you please start a Martell Webster sucks thread? He's had a few bad games in a row. He could use your help.
