Take Trevor and that #1 pick out and I'd do this trade today but with them two included I'd have to give this trade a big HELL NAW!

to me miller is a tantalizer but he'll never push through the barrier and reach his potential. i think he lacks the physical endurance and the force of will to do on a regular basis what he shows he's capable of doing a few times per game. he's one of many many guys in the league who have a boatload of talent but not the intangibles that the stars have to exert their will on a game when it matters and stand up to the physicial and psycholgical challenges. just my opinion.

That was like a diagnosis Marv, you just diagnosed Mike Miller with the little nutz syndrome. lol that's funny stuff

but, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get wally z and essentially, he's at this point a poorer version of miller & would come a lot cheaper than him.

Mike Miller better than Szczerbiak? It's close, but I would prefer Szczerbiak. Miller seems to think that the area between the 3 point line and the basket is a moat.

oohah



Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

he is a very good player, but not a superstar. still, he would bring something we don't have, and that's lethal outside shooting. Miller & Curry would be a great inside out combo.

outside shooting = Q Rich(he won the freaking three point contest and shot and made more threes than anyone ever in one season).

Sure- Q is a career .406% from the floor, shot .389% and .358% from 3 last year. He took more 3's than anyone else and he missed more than anyone else.

Mike Miller only shot .505% and .394% from 3 last year.

I don't think opposing coaches are going to be worried about having Q shoot 39% against them.

He made more than anyone else and they didn't utilize his strenghts there they said run down spot up and shoot. It was the way Phoenix played the game of basketball that had him taking that many threes. I'll say it's proof positive that this will not be the way Larry utlizes him in NY. Watch his shooting percentage go up on this squad.

Q shot 39% in LA playing "his" game and he had Brand and Maggette on that team with him drawing alot of attention.

And Korver tied Q for the league lead in 3's made. Korver shot 100 less threes however.

And Q was down on the blocks in LA.

I'm not saying Q is garbage, but I bet we see a lot of zone defense against us.

Unlike last year, I'm hopeful that Larry will get our players to adjust, even if it takes some growin pains & ugly play to do it.

And sure, Q ran down, sat outside and took passes from Nash- if you can't hit a high % with your feet set, I don't think your a legit threat.

Ask the teams that got pummeled by Phoenix last year if he was a legit threat. The only team he wasn't a threat too was San Antonio in the playoffs because he did absolutly nothing during that series.
He still has attributes that Mike Miller dosen't have like rebounding and toughness. You can read off all the stats you have stored in your memory banks, but statistics can't tell you a player's real value on a team. Ask Phoenix if he wasn't a legit threat when Nash was winning MVP and Stoudemire was free to dunk on people's headz. Well I'm through with this topic.

curry and pau would be like wow, but if we can't get gasol the only other player worth of interest is wrinkle head.
