Miller & Blake give us a very solid veteran PG situation.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
You can use stats to compare if you want, but Miller was in a running system last year, and Blake was not. Running teams always have worse defensive efforts statistically.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
i see it as kind of a lateral move overall, but at least he will compliment rudy much better than blake does. maybe that's the point.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
I think there could be a trade now. I can see a trade of Blake or Bayless plus something maybe Outlaw for a better backup PF or even a SF. I rather have a better backup PF.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
Except for the fact that Blake is still on the team, and Rudy is a backup, and you know that Nate will play Blake over Bayless. My guess is that the team doesn't make a trade, and we run the whole year with players unhappy with playing time. Then Bayless leaves unhappy with playing time and blooms somewhere else. That is the most likely scenario.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
Your own link says NOTHING about it being a one-year deal.
It quotes the agent saying the Blazers offer is an improvement over the 1 yr $6mil offer of the 76ers.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
Not if Bayless doesnt get any minutes.. If we stood at a 9 man rotation of Miller, Blake, Roy, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, LMA, Oden, Przybilla. There will be some minutes to spread around.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
I love the third-year team option. This team also doesn't need any more shooters. We need guys who can penetrate, and create for others outside of Brandon. I think this is fantastic.
We'll see how it works, but I like this signing.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
Well, I would predict that Bayless is either on his way out or will sit on the bench, again. I also prefer opening up more time for Rudy, so I would still be in favor of moving Blake if the right deal presents itself.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
Except that Rudy wants a bigger role (minutes) and you have Webster (potentially). You are right that they don't have to move someone, but Rudy, Bayless and Webster (and Blake?) may be unhappy with their minutes if someone isn't moved.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
I agree... but if it comes down to it, I keep Rudy happy well before Webster.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
It all depends. If the deal is descending, and we started out at $7.7M, then no. If it's ascending, and starting at its lowest dollar amount, the deal starts at 6.5, and we keep $1.2M in cap space. Who knows at this point though.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
I disagree. The next move is a trade of Bayless or Blake with Outlaw and maybe$ or picks to NY for a S and T with Lee. Then I expect Joel to be moved.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
what i hope will happen is it will take minutes away from the SF spot (batum/webster) with roy moving there against any small lineup and miller/rudy/roy playing together a lot.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
Which, at this point, contradicts reports on WAW that Rudy would get minutes at the point next season.

Re: BREAKING NEWS
They didn't talk about anything we didn't already know regarding specifics. Philly writer speculated the Sixers didn't bring him back because they wanted to go younger, and they were miffed he skipped the team exit interviews at the end of their playoff run.
She also told a story about how he kept a special NBA schedule in his locker and kept stats about where they needed to be record-wise at certain points and what games were must wins, and he updated it after every game.

You'd have to go back to Rod Strickland to find the last true-point guard, right?
