    @WojYahooNBA Mike Miller is turning into hot property, league executives say. He can expect offers starting north of mid-level exception in 1st year.

    I'm hoping we just drafted Mike Miller v2.0. We'll find out over the next few years.

    If Babbitt ever grows a Mike Miller "goldy-locks" hairdo, I'll disown him.

    It must be the hair.

    If an average player has to be paid more than the average salary,

    WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

    It's really not that hard to figure out. Owners are putting their money on getting a hard cap with the next agreement and know that the players cannot withstand a long holdout. So right now owners are throwing money at players trying to get who they can, because when they get the hard cap, contracts will be renegotiated and a large chunk of this money being thrown out there won't even be touched by the players.

    Rookies drag down the average salary because their salaries are locked/depressed by the CBA.

    Miller is a good shooter and a guy who can do a lot of things. It makes sense that teams with superstars would want to add him, even if he lacks upside and will never again be much above average as a player.
