It's rare that guys keep getting leaps better after being in the league that long.
The guy beat cancer and is as healthy as he's ever been in those previous 7 years. At least give him a chance

Re: Breaking News: Andre Miller is going to the Blazers
I am not surprise if the Blazers advance in the Western Conference Finals. Miller is a great PG, and last season he averaged 16.3 ppg, and almost 7 apg.
Miller and Roy = Top 8 Backcourt in the NBA.

Just because he had cancer doesn't make his game and potential any different from the thousands of guys who played in the league for the past 50+ years.

Re: Breaking News: Andre Miller is going to the Blazers
Happy about this. I really wanted a PG instead of another big. Welcome to Rip City, Miller!

Could you Blazer fans tell me about Webster? I forgot he was even with the Blazers? What's his game like?

Re: Breaking News: Andre Miller is going to the Blazers
Miller's a good fit, maybe just maybe it will allow Roy not to have to focus so much on running the offense and instead score.
I wouldn't even characterize Roy as a scorer, much less an offball scorer. You take the offense away from Roy, you make the Blazers worse. You take the offense away from Miller, and he's an utter waste of money and space.
I don't think this is a good signing. I think the Blazers should have worked out a trade with Chicago that got them Kirk Hinrich. I'm sure Chicago has a contract they want to dump.
Andre Miller is a good player and when on he's one of my favorite players to watch. But you don't do things like this. You don't have two guys on the same team who have to take away from each other in order to be effective.
Another bad consequence of this trade: Jarryd Bayless is almost assuredly gone. And I can all but guarantee he'll turn out to be at the very least an excellent third guard.

You still fail to realize that is' impossible to improve your game if you're always hurt, and he's not hurt.
And just for futher disgust and bitterness on my part, this will be lebron's 7th season coming up, are you saying he won't improve?

He's very athletic, comes into training camp more conditioned than anyone else. He was supposed to have made leaps and bounds in his game. He should have been our pure shooter... we didn't really have one last season. A talented young man, with a great attitude...

If they trade Aldridge for Amare right now they are a championship contender, but they won

But the Portland bench is better, but I'm looking forward to the Nuggets and Blazers games next season.
disagree on that one.
however, doesn't matter because comparing teams by doing position by position breakdowns doesnt work at all. means nothing.

I don't really see any improvement from the blazers adding andre miller. maybe 3-4th seed.
but I think they'll have a deeper run into the playoffs.

Proves idiots wrong
Re: Andre Miller signs with Trail Blazers
This is a huge upgrade from Steve Blake, congratulations to the Blazers fans, I don't care if Miller is a step slower or whether Miller isn't a great 3 point shooter, he's still the guy who can get the job done.

Re: Andre Miller signs with Trail Blazers
I looked at Miller as above average PG , that has improved his defensive foot work , heady passer , and knows if he has the open shot is there to stroke it. When he first came into the league his jumper was not what it is today .
You need some professionalism as well as veteran knowledge to guide a young team.
Blake isn't the answer
