Andre Miller might win the league's most underrated player for the 11th year running. He's a markedly better player than Harris, and even going on 34 he's probably a better player than Harris could ever hope to be.

Yeah, the Blazers get younger, but what's the point? To lock in mediocrity long term?

I dont want to get rid of Dre to be honest, he still should have at least 2 more years at this current level, as he doesnt rely on athleticism

 

[ROSEMVP]

imagine if oden got healthy

 

[Spanish Sahara]

And if Roy didnt have knees of an 80 year old

patty mills should be traded to the lakers. would be a great starter.

Heat Make Mike Miller Available
Feb 23, 2011 00:15 AM EST

The Heat have shopped Mike Miller in their search for an upgrade at either point guard or center, according to multiple sources.

Miller is in the first year of a five-year, $29 million contract.

One executive said the Heat have been calling around but just "don’t have much they can trade."

Miami is ultimately more likely to sign a player who is bought out than to complete a significant trade.

woah. miller was supposed to be an ideal foil for the big 2.5.

Powell didn’t contribute much to the Lakers last season, but Jackson praised his practice intensity.

Haha, nah. Mills isn't a starter.

D-Will has been traded to the Nets for Harris and Favours (main pieces)

Devin Harris and Derrick Favors will be traded to the Jazz, along with two first round picks. Utah will receive New Jersey's own pick in 2011 and Golden State's in 2012.

New Jersey will send Troy Murphy to Golden State, while the Warriors trade Dan Gadzuric and Brandan Wright to the Nets.



WOW

The WC is becoming weaker by the day

 

[RoosterLad]

Can't believe the D Will trade. That came out of nowhere.

So Darren got Sloan sacked then ditched the Jazz?

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Are Melo/Billups confirmed playing today?

yep they are playing

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

Awesome trade for the Nets. I rate him as the best PG in the league come playoff time. They now have their face for the move to Brooklyn and will be able to sign another gun to go with D-Will and Lopez! Dwight????? That Russian Billionaire will be on his doorstep promising the world as I type to get him to sign an extension!

Also suck shit to the Knicks. They gave up more for a player who can score and not much else. Sounds like a guy thet they already have!

Dude he doesnt want to be there, there is a massive chance he walks in 18 months so thats a lot to give up for a rental if thats the case.
We had to give up more otherwise he was going to the Nets and he even said he thought he was gonna end up in NJ.

Also apparently D'Antoni and the coaching staff are currently on the floor teaching the new guys the plays hands on lol. Could be a lot of passes thrown to no one

 

[WALL-e]

wtf, Utah?

To Orlando would have been better.

We will see. I think he gets over it and signs. It will all depend on who they can attract in the next year and a half. Getting paid by a Russian billionaire and living in New York when the Nets are relocated will have it's benefits!

Great news for the Jazz.

D Will was a obstacle, he was going to leave next year so to get this done without the circus is great. And for what its worth on his day he he prob the best, but he has to many down days, hopefully for him he gets a fresh start and with that consistency.

 

[Westy Bogan]

I posted in the Knicks thread that I think the Knicks missed big opportunity. They could have traded for DWill now and picked up Melo later.

They would then have their BIG 3.

 

[Scream]

He will prob leave jersey after next season anyway. They will have egg on there face.

 

[Westy Bogan]

In other news Jezza Sloan returning to the Jazz.

 

[Westy Bogan]

If we give up Asik for Lee then I will spew my guts up

 

[Westy Bogan]

My mate is a huge Jazz fan and DWill is his favourite player. I just told him the news. He is devastated.

 

[RoosterLad]

If we give up Asik for Lee then I will spew my guts up

I will cry if we lose Asik, love that guy. Apparently we offered a draft pick but the Rox want a big man.

 

[hamG]

Yeah thats exactly what I need in the east, bloody Darren.

East is stacked yo. West is OLD and broken. Except for OKC of course.

 

[Westy Bogan]

How are Jazz any better than Lebron on how it told their player on his future?

Will they receive the same hate that Lebron did?

Apparently Deron was being a bish there anyway? So who cares.
