    Yes, it has.

    There is no arguing at all, as the numbers show us that this is patently wrong. The 2008-2009 Aldridge got 10% of his attempts as dunks and only 2% as tip-ins, the 2010-2011 Aldridge gets only 5% of his attempts as dunks and 4% as tip-ins. There is something to be said about those pretty spin moves for dunks from a style point - but Aldridge dunked a lot more in prior years. 82Games.com to the rescue.

    The pre-Miller era Aldridge was better up-close and had better jump-shots. Conventional wisdom might lead you to believe that having a PG like Miller on the roster is a boon to Aldridge, but the cold, hard facts point against it.

    I am going with one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time (John Wooden) - spacing, spacing, spacing.

    Andre Miller is an amazing player, he is smart, he is crafty, he can score without leaving the ground, he knows when to attack and when not, and he is a darn good passer - but his inability to hit the ocean with a jumper kills spacing - and this does not just hinder Roy, it hinders the big guys as well.

    Normally Miller has a mid range jumper that is enough for spacing, but it's been off. That is also true of Rudy and Batum, there shots being off, which I think hurt spacing a lot more.

    Exactly. I wouldn't know unless an article was written about it. That's why I said it was a nice read. It's good once in a while to read something that isn't all about conflict and clashes.

    I take it as highly plausible given the source.

    It's being plausible does not mean fact. It might have happen, but it might not have happen. Since his comments someone could easily say hey most likely he's said trade me or Miller. Doesn't mean it is a fact even if someone reports on the net.

    What sucks is people will build on that without knowing if it truly happen.
