    Dre is officially moving up the charts........I love this guy. It took some time to warm up to him (and him to "us"), but I feel this relationship is blossoming. He may never be the off the court kind of buddy some of the Blazers would like him to be, but he's a warrior, he's smart as hell, and he has overtly shown that he cares about this team. Pryz was my "current" favorite Blazer, now that he's gone, I may have to go to Dre. He has become such a fundamental part of this team. Our heart as far as I'm concerned. I'm so fucking happy we didn't trade him at the deadline. Specifically speaking of the Harris deal. Thank you, Cho. Thank you, Dre. You're the man.

    I wasn't a huge Dre fan at first either, but he's one of my favorites out there on the court. He's got fire and toughness, and leads by example, which is great to see. You gotta have at least one guy like him on your team;that he is also a starter quality PG is a very nice bonus.

    I have wanted Andre Miller on this team since his days in Cleveland. I had hoped we would make a push for him, but he was eventually traded to the Clips and it didn't work out. Minsrel and I have been championing the idea of bringing in Dre for a few years, and now that he's here, I couldn't be happier. He's exactly the kind of point guard you want. He's smart, he moves the ball, he makes good decisions about when to score and when to pass and he brings a lot of intangibles to the team. I just wish he was younger.

    I'm finally warmed up to him too. I wish he was a better perimeter shooter, but other than that he is perfect for the team. Smart, tough, and a good leader.

    Dre is the X factor. His stats don't tell the story, but his intangibles do. Watch closely! He's been a favorite of mine since we got him, I knew he would work well in Nate's system.

    I"ve been a fan of Miller and am happy to see more fans are giving him credit for his play.

    I never understood the criticism in the first place, but I am also happy that he is finally getting credit.

    I don't know why anybody would take time to warm up to a PG who has been one of the best in the league over the last decade! Loved the move since day motherfucking 1 FAMS!

    I was a Steve Blake fan, but Andre is at a whole other level! Got him for nothing too? Loved it from the first second I heard about it.
