They are buzzing around Memphis because they smell "fire sale".

If the cost for Miller becomes high enough, people who were not available might all of a sudden come into play.</div>

Sorry, salary is what I meant by price

Cuttino Mobley is comparable, not as good but comparable and has really been playing well this year for the Clippers. Makes about the same as Miller for the same term (2 years after this one). But he's 32 whereas (just checked) Mike Miller turned 28 today. So I don't give up anything more than this year's Mav's 1st rounder for Mobley whereas I'd give a lottery protected NJ 1st rounder this year for Miller.

Artest, Gordon, Pietrus, Giriceck, Jason Williams, Ricky Davis all on the market could impact Miller's value in some way.

When you look at the potential suitors for Miller (Nets, Heat, Nuggets, Cavs, Rockets) the Mavs pick is pretty comperable. Miami won't give up their 1st this year.
