Miller is a very solid player who has not lost a step yet. I didn't understand why more teams weren't offering a multi-year deal but I'm not surprised Portland did. As for this "bad fit" argument, there's no team in the league he wouldn't improve. He's a versatile, team-first, 2 way player.

bad fit but this is the last time they'll have cap space so they had to spend it.

at least the contract is not tradeable.

doesn't improve the blazers that much and will definitely hurt the sixers.

It would have brought the Raptors the title though, right?

raptors' chances for a title are none and noner than none...

Much like 24 NBA teams each and every year.

Stern's CBA really did a number on things didn't it.

Its a double-edged sword. If you didn't have a CBA with a soft cap where players can sign for more with their home teams, then small markets would become like rest stops for players. The Spurs would morph into the KC Royals.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Before they committed to Miller, the Blazers made a strong push for Lee, a power forward. On Tuesday night, Blazers coach Nate McMillan and front-office executives Kevin Pritchard and Tom Penn had dinner with Lee in Las Vegas to make their recruiting pitch.

One source said the Blazers offered Lee a variety of options, including an opt-out clause that would have made him an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2011.

But the Knicks and Portland could not agree in discussions Thursday on any kind of a sign-and-trade deal, and the Blazers did not want to risk losing Miller over the seven-day waiting period had they chosen to use their cap space to tender an offer sheet to Lee, which New York would have had the right to match.

Lee, attending Team USA's mini-camp in Las Vegas, confirmed the Tuesday night recruiting meeting and said he was intrigued by the possibility of playing for Portland, although he never thought a deal was close.

"At this point it's going to come down to sign-and-trades vs. trying to get something worked out with New York," Lee told ESPN.com. "Sign and trades, with base-year and compensation and all that stuff, can get complicated. But I think there's enough teams out there that we've had contact with that are excited about trying to get something done that it's a possibility we can do it."

Fawk... although, no mention on what we would have gotten in return, so, I'll retain my "Fawk" for another day.
