I heard Kiki Vandeweghe mention last night that the Sixers are not done dealing and they are looking to move Andre Miller before the trade deadline. What do you guys think about him? Should you give him a shot?Andre Miller is a great point guard, He's 3rd in the league in assists per game. He's worth trading for.
I would love him, but I don't think my team has the right pieces to give up. I wouldn't want to lose Barbosa. If they take Banks, James Jones and Marks...but they won't.

I agree I think a point guard like Andre Miller would be a nice fit for the LA Lakers rotation and the good thing about it is we wouldn't have to give up to much like say a Allen Iverson trade would have.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeellllll no. The plan is that Farmar will take over the reigns starting by next season. Why take in another defenseless point?
Andre Miller was great with Cleveland back in the day, but the Lakers could use him right now more than anybody. Smush isn't a starter and Famar obviously isn't ready. Not sure what they could give up to get him, but if the 6ers end up shopping him like they say they might, I think they should give it a shot.
By the time he was able to fully contribute in the triangle, Farmar would be ready to be a full time starter.
I think he would be a nice fit for the Lakers. The only thing is the Lakers don't have the pieces to get him, unless Philly is just look to give him away, which would be dumb because he would seem to be a good fit there too.
I lack to see why he'd be a good fit in LA. Trading for a player midseason is something Phil Jackson hates, because the triangle takes so long to get used to, so that would F*ck it up itself. On top of that he's a terrible defender as a point guard. LA doesn't need anymore of those. Smush will be fine for the time being until Farmar gets comfortable enough to the point where he can start.
What do you guys think of this?Lakers trade: C Chris Mihm, SG Aaron McKie, PG Shammond Williams, 1st round pick, $3M cash Sixers acquire: C Chris Mihm, PG Jeff McInnis, 1st round pick Sixers trade: PG Andre Miller Nets acquire: SG Aaron McKie, PG Shammond Williams, $3M cash Nets trade: PG Jeff McInnis Why it works for the Lakers: Obviously, they get Miller. Our team is deep enough and has enough young players now that I think they can afford to give up a 1st round pick. The one negative is that Mihm may be a valuable asset in another potential trade. Why it works for the Sixers: I don't really envision them getting a lot better deals for Miller IF they figure to trade him only to a playoff caliber team. Atlanta would be a good fit for him. Lakers have the ending contracts they want and Mihm is a valuable asset. Why it works for the Nets: They get rid of McInnis and get a player who could maybe help their pretty short bench in Williams. Plus they get a little cash to cover the cost difference.
I don't think NJ wants McKie or Williams, it's even worse having both.But if this would work it would be great. Even if Farmar were to start, Miller would be a great backup for him. I don't know what they will do with Smush, they might even keep him to make themselves more deep.
