Blake for Andre Miller Stirred Up

[Shapecity]

"Though the Sixers have said their preference is to re-sign Miller, speculation stirred this week that had them looking to do a sign-and-trade with the Portland Trail Blazers that would bring point guard Steve Blake(notes) to Philadelphia.

But in a published report in the Portland Tribune on Tuesday, representatives of both teams denied that such talks were in the offing. [Andre] Iguodala, who signed an $80 million, six-year contract last August as his free agent year was approaching, doesn't envy Miller's position. 'I went through it last year a little bit,' said Iguodala, who recently returned from a vacation in Italy. 'I had teams calling, but this summer's a little different than any other summer. With the economy and salary caps, I had perfect timing. I hope next time it comes up, I have perfect timing again.'"

Interesting wording on that quote from Iguodala. Notice it was just about Miller's experience on the free market. No mention of "we've got to get this guy back!" Now that might mean nothing. But Dwight Howard comes out and begs Orlando to re-sign Hedo.

“You’ve got to have balls,” Artest said, “to hit a guy like me in the throat.”

Does that mean your balls will be hitting him in the throat? Would that be attempted tea-bagging?

It was already shot down by Quick. Not saying Quick is the greatest source, but it's better than this "Speculation".
