    Roy and Miller will never co-exist. Say's there's something just "wrong" with Roy...and has been all season.

    Dwight fears that, if KP doesn't make a move to trade Miller, this team may not make the playoffs.

    Personally, I think the team makes the playoffs regardless, but I can agree that it's very apparent a personnel move needs to be made ASAP.

    In the end I'm blaming it all on Nate. The players openly said they were confused about the offense and all Nate could say was they'll have to figure it out. I just don't find that acceptable.

    It just strikes me a little like math students being confused on algebra, and the teacher saying they'll have to figure it out.

    It's all very well saying "trade Miller" - to whom? I can't think of a single team that would trade for him. Can you?

    I'm giving Nate the benefit of the doubt right now. I mean, he had to endure all the crappy teams that Nash left behind and work towards building what we have today. I'm at least gonna be patient with him throughout this season. That said, if it's clear that the team has underachieved this entire season then, yes, Nate has culpability there.

    Hmmmmm.........how about a deal (Miller, Webster, and ?) with Detroit that would net us Prince?

    I am actually pissed we didn't makea move for Stephen Jackson still. We could really use some toughness on this team. Now he is in Charlotte, and amazingly enough everything got easier for that team as soon as he showed up.

    Leaving us without a PG....Not sure that's a smart move.

    As for Nate, he was given the worst team in the league, and then given talent. Of course the team was going to improve. Now, if he had taken the worst team in the league, and turned those players into something, that would be saying something.

    OK, that's right "now". How bad of an injury does he have? Otherwise, he's a proven commodity. I understand we need players, but if Miller really is addition by subtraction, then... :dunno:

    Are the Wizards still having problems? Maybe we could get a Butler deal going somehow?

    What about Chucky Atkins as part of that same deal?

    Anyway, it was just a suggestion. The crux of the matter, though, appears to be the need to move Miller.....at least according to the Godfather.

    ABM have you ever had a back injury? Lets put it this way. Most guys with disk type injuries that Prince has, are never the same again. Back injuries probably end more careers than knee injuries. Put it this way. I would not consider Prince ever, unless a physical was passed with flying colors.

    Why in the world would we want to add talented players who can score to this roster?


    Assclown and Roy can't even figure out how to deal with Oden getting 10 shots a game. Can you imagine the head explosions if they brought in a high scoring SF?

    Maybe we should trade for James Jones again.

    SI.com has an article up by Hendrickson that tries to dump 100% of the blame for the Blazers' problems on Miller. The article sounded like it was written by Roy's mother.

    Nope.

    He was on the block last year, and a FA this summer, and nobody cared except KP.

    I seriously doubt you could even trade him to the Kings for Sergio at this point.
