    Just read through this entire thread and all I can think of at the end is "Andre Miller only got 9 million for three years???" We should not have traded him. :tsktsk:

    Indeed. And what's really annoying is that he does it right. He's Mr. no-bullshit, play the right way, don't say anything unless it's the truth, but don't seek glory and promote yourself. And look what it gets him.

    Well, he IS a multi-millionaire. But you get my OVERALL point.

    It got him 3 million the year he turns 40. Not bad for a PG. But yeah we should not have traded him.

    They were has-beens when they went to the Lakers. Nash (and Andre Miller) are at the tops of their games and not declining.

    First time I ever typed the plural of "top of his game" and it feels like I called them sons of bitches...or is it sons of a bitch.

    BUMP, for the Truth.

    Andre Miller would be perfect for Damian Lillard right about now, and this gap at experienced PG would be filled.

    Pretty sure Gary and Karl had different moms, so sons of bitches is correct.

    Good to know, and especially for this board, useful too.

    Too bad teams couldn't have bid on Miller. He's so humble that he's quickly accepted being a substitute. Remember when Quick disliked him because he turned down Quick's tennis invitation? You can be humble without being a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed young player eager to kiss the local media's ass.

    Edit: I think that should be plural, asses. What do you think, Barfo?

    Hi folks, I'm here in LA and sportswriters are all but ejaculating in their pants. They are also convinced Lakers getting Dwight Howard. It's putrid.

    I am from the area, Voodoo and i hate the Lakers. I'd bet if you weren't from LA you might not defend rapist Bryant, or maybe you figure rape is men's right regardless? At any rate, I can think of few more deserving to have 99% think he's a rapist (I only wish that were true) than Bryant.

    Steve Nash has descended from my favorite non Blazer to my rock bottom shit list.

    PS, on an unfamiliar computer so please excuse any typos.

    If history has shown us anything, it's that the Lakers WILL get Howard and they WILL dominate the league because it has been prophesied by The Great Stern.
