Idea: Andre Miller to Celtics

I have never heard that before. Danny completed the LaFrentz, Telfair deal a few years ago. What are you basing this feud assertion on.

As to Miller, I could see them wanting to get out from his contract. I was trying to play with the trade machine thing, seeing if anything works for Miller or Blake (preferably Blake, who would likely accept his backup role more readily).

In fact, I’ve been scouring league rosters looking for a backup PG. Having Daniels out for a good ’nother month, makes it a little problematic trading TA right now, as clearly Doc does not regard JR or Walker as ready for minutes.

Wouldn’t mind getting Sergio Rodriguez from Sacto either, or Sessions from Minny.

Anyway, until ‘Quis comes back, I don’t know how we trade away TA without also bringing back a swing man. Ideally, a trade would net us a backup PG and a swing for our expirings.

it aint gonna happen…. portland has enough wings.. they dont need another wing.. in allen and walker and a undersized 4 in scalabrine…. NO WAY THIS TRADE WILL EVER HAPPEN

And the trade benefit for the Blazers is the expiring contracts, not the players though Tony has value . Miller might want a ring enough, but PT’s an issue for him now. Don’t recall anything about a feud either.

this would b great b/c we need a bak up point

Giving mixed signals to young guys
arguing with the coach
hitching bout his role
not even that good

no thanks

I thought it should be known that since the unsuccessful 2002 olympic qualifying tourney Paul Pierce and Andre Miller have nothing but hatred for one another. They would simply refuse to co-exist. Furthermore, signing Andre Miller to play as back-up point guard would be a protraction of his current grievances in Portland, needless to say, there goes the Celtics’ team chemistry. I don’t think any major trades are necessary, they have all the right personnel, insofar that they remain healthy. The one move they could really benefit from at this point is signing a competent MLE point guard to spell Rondo’s prodigal number of minutes. The team doesn’t need to be eviscerated to accomplish this however. Once KG and Daniels are healthy and in regular rotation the Celtics will have the problem of too many decent players dividing up game time minutes, excepting the point guard position of course. Free agency is probably the best bet, or buying out a contract before the trade deadline. If KG’s knee is in good condition come playoff time, they’ll be competitive with their current roster, any major move could be ultimately disruptive.
