I wasnt able to continue my case pro Andre Miller last night at chat because my
internet was playing tricks on me

Granted.
he cannot shot that well
sometimes he stops the ball.
Hes not worth 8 mill.

but come on
His court vision is one of the best in the league
Hes a very good to excellent passer
hes cold and hes now a veteran with tons of experience

He almost win the game for Phily with what help that big rookie whose name I cant even remember today, and a lucky shot by Iggy.

After yesterdays game I even admire more Mr. Miller, and when his contract ends hopefully he will be looking to close a carrer with a ring.. I will welcome here any day of the week and twice on game days..

Saludos

Isn't he a free agent after this season?  He's a starting point guard, deservedly so, so I don't know if he'd be willing to come off the bench behind Rondo.

U earn your 200 tp by the way
And its interesting that like 70% of the people on chat yesterday thought he was garbage.
So i decided to post this here and take a bigger sample.

and about he wanting to start, I dont know, maybe he can take Sams and ( Marburys?) example and give Rondo a chance to be his starting pg.

He's been a good player for a long time. People really think he's bad?

He got traded for AI and that Philly team got better, just like what happened with Chauncey. Not as a extreme an effect because he's not in Chauncey's class right now. He's a bad fit for the current philly team because they desperately need spacing but he's a solid PG.

 hes so "underrated" he's overrated....I really think hes seen better days... hes a great guy, but hes  not great at anything and gets abused constantly by just about every PG in the league

interesting point
what u just said makes hima  situational PG = a great bench pg.

and to be honest IMHO hes Great with capital G in court vision and passing.


Edited: *just because hes not goog enough to be a starter anymore...(i think thats debatable), maybe he can have low self steem and ask for backup pg money

He'd be a nice backup point.  He is starting to decline so by the time he's a free agent he's going to be looking at a decrease in salary and perhaps the loss of a starting job.  He would potentially fit with the C's.

That would be great.  I always liked Andre Miller.

Oh, and thanks for the tp.

I always wanted Andre for this team. He is an unselfish player, very talented. I wonder if he would be ok with just 15-17 min per game though...

He sees the floor pretty well, I dont know about Great with a capital G, his career average is 7 apg

I will blame that to crappy receivers.

I have always been a Miller fan.  He is not the most talented PG in the world, but he simply knows how to play.  He knows how to use his size to his advantage, knows how to run an offense, and knows when to look for his own shot, or get it to others.

He will be a very interesting FA this offseason.  I really think teams like Portland should be looking at him closely, because he is the type of veteran PG who can really put a talented young team over the top.
