    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Despite what you might have read elsewhere, there doesn't seem to be any reason to rush into discussions about an extension for Andre Miller. As excellent as Miller was, emerging as the team's MVP, he's 32 and has a year remaining on his contract. There's no reason to believe Miller's skills will drop off as he approaches 33, but they say that when it happens, it can sometimes happen fast.

    For now, Miller represents an expiring $10 million contract at the end of next season, and -- depending on circumstances -- a huge chip at the next trade deadline. On the other hand, if he gets off to a start that rivals the level of this season, I wouldn't be surprised by an in-season extension.</div>
