Source told FOXSports.com that Mike Miller has already met with the Lakers, Knicks and Heat out in L.A. Lakers offered 5 years, $30 million.

Do It Mitch!!!

[slick'81]

great for la if he accepts

[benefactor]

He'll get more. See Johnson, Amir.

[Goran Dragic]

Be stupid for him to hold out for more on a worse team. When LA offers you the full MLE and you're not worth much more jump on that deal.

[JamStone]

So Derek Fisher to play 35 mpg at PG next year?

So Derek Fisher to play 35 mpg at PG next year?


My thoughts exactly. Miller at that price is a good deal, but I thought that the Lakers would use the MLE on a PG.

[dallaskd]

bad news for sasha..

[sefant77]

So Derek Fisher to play 35 mpg at PG next year?

Why not? He saved Kobes ass and ring just a few weeks ago.

[Booharv]

Miller's a great shooter, but everyone knows about his annoying attempt to be a point forward the last few years, right? All 3 of his coaches in the last two years have complained about it, and there have been a bunch of articles (I linked 3 here) talking about it.

Randy Wittman:""We have to get Mike more than four shots, there's no question about that," coach Randy Wittman said. "And Mike's got to work to get more than four shots. Sometimes you get into turning down shots to make the extra pass. Mike does all the right things. at times, he has to be a little selfish, too.""

Kevin McHale:""We definitely want Mike shooting [more],"

http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/41186012.html?elr=KArksi8cyaiUo8cyaiUiD3aPc:_Yyc:a ULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUr

Flip Saunders: "[B]Asked about it, Washington coach Flip Saunders sighs. "We try to get him to shoot, and he tries to come out looking for it," he says, "but if someone's open, he passes the ball.""

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1167412/2/index.htm

Both Flip Saunders and Kevin McHale have complained about this. In LA he really needs to get back to his bread and butter and stop trying to be Larry Bird. His turnover ratio has ballooned the last two years with his attempts to be a playmaker (19.1 and 19.6).

UPDATE: on Mike Miller


Source told FOXSports.com that Lakers gave Mike Miller a deadline of tonight. Miller's camp trying to receive more time.

[angelbelow]

Miller and Pau are ex lovers. So this is great news for Sasha as they can now engage in a 3 way.

[Giuseppe]

No.

Miller's time has come & gone.

[TD 21]

You knew someone had to run to the defense of the Lakers. They were vulnerable in terms of a quality third wing, as well as more shooting and ball handling on the perimeter. He'll probably accept, so that he can play limited minutes behind Bryant and Artest and have no chance at finishing games.

Whatever happened to, the Lakers are looking to cut costs? Every time we hear that, more good luck fall in their laps. We knew Jackson would be back, now this. This would be more significant than Blake. They can get someone like Watson for cheap and still get by at PG. On that team, both system and personnel wise, the PG has to do far less than any other team in the league.

Every time they look vulnerable in an area or they might receive some bad news, the exact opposite happens. It's ridiculous.

:lmao Suicide watch

[ducks]

I bet someone else steps up and offers more just so the lakers do not get him

Miller, 10 years ago, yes, but, he's got a fork stuck in him, his legs are shot.

I'd much more prefer McGrady & Blake. Blake would flourish. McGrady, only at the minimum would be without risk....the reward substantial.

[admiralsnackbar]

He'll get more. See Johnson, Amir.

He's also gone on record saying he wants to play on a contender, and seriously? That's not a bad deal for him anyway.

This sort of hardball shite would turn me off, however.

crucify em, cubby. Send that ex-florida gator ass to the tree of woe!

[Giuseppe]

Miller is Tracy Murray & Mitch Richmond rolled into one.

[Amaso]

Bad deal for the Lakers, Miller is past his prime and 5 years is a long time

[cobbler]

I don't see this being good in any way. Millers peak was getting cut from the USA team. This is a cost cutting move and opening the door to send Lamar packing.

[Giuseppe]

This is a cost cutting move and opening the door to send Lamar packing.

Sweet Jesus. How so, Cobby?

[cobbler]

Isn't Odom making like 9 mil? Miller can fill a lot of Lamar's minutes. They off Lamar for some deal where they get a PG and an expiring? Buss was pushed into signing Lamar last year and regrets it IMO.

[Giuseppe]

Make's my stomach churn & turn. Odom is a case study, but, he's turned it on two Junes in-a-row.

I genuinely thought he & Artest were a package deal and would remain together for the duration.

[Koolaid_Man]

:lol stop ragging on my team you homo...but that is pretty funny....

They are letting Farmar walk... Could be they let Brown walk too and keep Lamar around. Something is going on though as they gave miller the deadline. Obviously they have something else in place.

Miller can play pg,sg,sf so they get versitility there but I think his best days are long gone and 5 years is just too much.

Nothing is going on...this is nothing but Dr. Buss playing his usual game of Poker.....and he's dam good at it too....

[sefant77]

McGrady crying again

[21_Blessings]

I smell three-peat :bking

[Giuseppe]

I smell three-peat :bking

I smell skunk.

[Koolaid_Man]

yeah maybe now we offer Fish 2 year 7.4 million + incentives low ball Raja Bell...and sign T-MAC for Vet Min...

[Koolaid_Man]

I still think Lakers make late play for Bosh...I've had Bosh and Gasol palying together for a minute now...Bynum is not durable 3 yrs straight and he's been down....get something now...a S&T for Amare anything I just don't trust Bynum at this point...

[Lebron4MVP]

It is nice seeing laker fans on suicide watch if this move happens. This signing makes the Lakers worse. Miller is a washed up pos player.

you have a Lebronze problem at the moment...focus focus focus....:toast

[Mr Bones]

Wow. The rich get richer. The Lakers were 24th in 3 pt % last year, so getting Miller addresses that. I can see Phil Jackson going with a Miller/Kobe backcourt that would be similar to the Harper/Jordan backcourt. Very good rebounder, good all around player...plus, Miller was good friends with Pau in Memphis.

[Koolaid_Man]

we just needed another white player to balance out Artest...we don't want to start looking like Boston..we got bills to pay....

[spursfan1000]

From what I read on RealGM Miller has till tonight to accept, and he has yet to accept? But if he does end up with the Lakers, great move by them, I can see them signing Miller and then signing a cheap PG who dosent care about thte money just about winning for the ILE.

[spursfan1000]

Has Miller accepted?

[usdane]

Has Miller accepted?

Pacific time. So he has 1 hour 50 min to decide if he wants to be a champion.

[4>0rings]

I smell skunk.
Na killa, that's just my doobie slow burnin' that dro white widow.

[Giuseppe]

Do you have URL on that deadline, Us? I ain't doubting you, I'd just like to read it.

[TheMACHINE]

i'd take miller. 11 points, 4 assist, 6 rebounds 48% 3 point shooter and 50% fg last season.

Thats good for 6 million...unless you rather have someone like Odom for 8 million =P

[TheMACHINE]

It is nice seeing laker fans on suicide watch if this move happens. This signing makes the Lakers worse. Miller is a washed up pos player.

worry about your own fucked up team. :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

It's stupid financially for LA but it improves them in the short term. Miller is really fuckin stupid if he turns this down.

http://www.truthaboutit.net/2010/06/mike-miller-talks-to-lebron-about-free-agency-reaffirms-desire-to-play-for-a-winner.html

Miller’s brother, Ryan, currently an assistant coach at New Mexico, tells Whitney, “It’s very important for him to find a team that’s committed to winning and winning now.” And Mike reaffirmed the type of team he wants to play for by saying, “Playing with LeBron would be great, playing with the Lakers would be great – just teams that you know are going to be there.” Again, not a category that houses the Wizards.

[Giuseppe]

Thanks.

[4>0rings]

sons Kobe is going to have a field day with all of that white ass in the showersthat's when Artest steps behind Kobes booty and there ain't a damn thing Kobe could do about it.

[Giuseppe]

Well, if Kobe has as fine an ass as Tony Parker does Artest will break a good nut.

Past midnight NO DEAL. On to the next one.

Dr. Buss don't mess around.

[ace3g]

daldridgetnt

Lakers denying Mike Miller offer. Check out the blog on NBA.com.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Mike Miller would be absolutely perfect for this Lakers team. Huge, huge upgrade at a key spot/role.

One of the best ways to improve a team is not to replace average players with a star... it's to replace below-average players with average or decent players. And Mike Miller is well above "average" or "decent."

Would love this.

[spursfan1000]

Uh oh well, Lakers don't get Miller :)

[usdane]

http://twitter.com/goodmanonfox

Source told FOXSports.com the Lakers have given Mike Miller until next Tuesday. Miller, per source, spoke with Kobe last night.

Does anyone know if this guy is legit?

[Reeko_Htown]

At first I thought it was Brad Miller and i said that's too little....

For Mike Miller? LOL!!!:lol

[Venti Quattro]

WTH are they legit in letting sasha play the point guard

[4>0rings]

:lmao Buss folded like a cheap suit, what a bitch.

[TD 21]

We just went back2back, how in the fuck do we look vulnerable?:rolleyes

This is what I said: They were vulnerable in terms of a quality third wing, as well as more shooting and ball handling on the perimeter.

I specified where their vulnerabilities are. Or are you suggesting that they're a perfect team with no weaknesses?

nope..he is suggesting that all the other 29 teams have more weaknesses then us.

[ezau]

Miller would be a huge upgrade for that fuckface Vujabitch.

[Giuseppe]

Miller would be a huge upgrade for that fuckface Vujabitch.

Though Vuj did come in mighty handy at 13 seconds Game 7, eh? While Breen was setting up failure of gargantuan proportions Vuj cut him off at the knees, made him sorry, fixed them all shit sandwiches. Just like that.

Just shows to go ya.

[MiamiHeat]
