Reggie on the radar? No way of knowing how serious it is yet, but Reggie Miller could be a candidate for the Mavericks' vacant roster spot.

Owner Mark Cuban brought up Miller's name before Monday's game against the Hawks. The former Indiana Pacers star is the No. 1 3-point shooter in NBA history. He retired after the 2004-05 season, but remains in excellent physical shape.

And joining the Mavericks would give him the chance to do about the only thing he never did in his illustrious career – win a championship.

Avery Johnson said he and president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson have been discussing options for the open spot, but are not close to any decisions.

Miller currently is a member of TNT's broadcast team.



I just read this in the DMN. Seems like a useless manuver and an extreme long shot, but an interesting thought all the same.....

Haven't heard from Miller on this though. I think he could still contribute since he's such a great shooter but I'd rather have another big man in that open roster spot.

I've always thought it was a little lame to come out of retirement and latch on to a team that is favored to win a title. Especially this late in the season. I'd even be disappointed in the Spurs if they tried to sign a player in this manner.

I'd rather bring in a tough minded guy. Kind of like what we did with Adrian Griffin, someone who can come in and grab some rebounds and cause a few turnovers. For offense he will drive the lane. Driving the lane you can almost always score or get a foul called. Shooting threes most nights someone that old will be cold. IE Michael Finley having a big night once every blue moon.

I'd welcome it. we need another offensive minded guard with some experience, IMO. trading anthony johnson wasn't smart, and if either harris or terry goes down with an injury, or god forbid both of them, that's 10-20 points of offense each game that we won't get back with buckner, ager, barea, or whoever we stick in the rotation to replace harris or terry.

this is assuming reggie still has some game. who knows.

I would lose a ton of respect for Reggie. This is rediculous (if true). What kind of validation would it give him to win a championship if it was this way? Why don't these retired ex-players ever want to come out of retirement late season and play for a team like the Hawks or the Bobcats? They want to try to get a cheap championship to make themselves feel better about their careers.

Especially a guy like Reggie or Pippen whom have been retired for a signifigant ammount of time.

The spurs did this with Big Dog and tried several times to pull the same move with the Mailman.

I don't like it either, but these moves can sometimes work out for both the player and the team.... I just don't think that Reggie Miller and the Mavs is one of those circumstances.

If the guy can still play and still has the desire to compete, then who gives a fuck? If he's doing this because he truly wants to do it, then he'll get on a team. If he's doing it simply to win a title and "validate his career" then he's not going to make it. I doubt this is true anyways.

That's a good point. Miller possibly to the Suns would get national attention. An old spot up three point shooter might actually work with the suns though...I don't really care about his motivation, I just don't think that his current skill set would fill any of the Mavs needs of that last roster spot.

At best, I think that he might be able to pull off a 2003 Steve Kerr... He might be able to get hot and win one game with a bunch of unexpected threes....

Reggie has too big an ego to be a backup. I don't think Avery is that willing to give him a starting spot just because he's Reggie Miller. If he does, than that would be a total surprise from Avery. I think this is a case of Cuban running off his mouth.........Again.

True....the way this team started bricking three's in crunch time last year, he might be useful for that. He's hit a clutch three in his time. But yeah I dunno if he could ever really fit in here, since playing defense is a must to survive under Avery. From what I recall, he wasn't too interested in playing defense unless Spike Lee was courtside.

I don't think that there is any doubt about that. Avery is definately not going to start him on name alone. I would expect Miller to get Croshere's playing time if anything....

The spurs did this with Big Dog and tried several times to pull the same move with the Mailman.

The Spurs didn't bring Big Dog out of retirement. He had been on the Sixers' roster during the 04-05 season, was traded to New Orleans and released. The Spurs signed him as a free agent after he was bought out, but they didn't have to bring him out of retirement to accomplish that. He hadn't played much (if at all) with Philly that year, but he hadn't retired.

The Spurs entreaties to Malone all came during Karl's career or in the season immediately after his season in LA, when Karl himself had not yet declared himself retired -- he was rehabbing an injury sustained during the 2004 playoffs.

As for the Miller idea -- I don't understand what the Mavericks are thinking, considering a high profile player who will demand minutes. That team has enviable chemistry right now, but changing that chemistry just a bit could throw it all out of whack. Besides, while Reggie can fill it up (sometimes) on the offensive end, he was about as poor a defensive player as there is at a wing spot. The Mavericks seemingly don't need offensive firepower, particularly where that option will threaten the integrity of their defense, I would think.

I think that his ONLY use could be to help space the floor during crunch time in the playoffs. Last year, Miami packed the middle and dared the Mavs to shoot from the outside, which the Mavs did miserably. I'm not sure that this is important enough to disrupt the locker room chemistry that you speak of though....

I agree completely. This is an excellent time to let him heal up and get any needed rest (although i seriously doubt that Howard needs any rest).

At least it is just his ankle... Dirk has had to play through enough of these that he may be able to help Howrd out with some advice.....

Howard hurt in Mavs' 12th straight win

01:11 AM CST on Tuesday, February 27, 2007
By EDDIE SEFKO / The Dallas Morning News
[email protected]

Josh Howard rolls with the punches as well as any NBA player. But when it comes to rolling his ankle, he draws the line.

The All-Star forward injured his right ankle for the second time in three games when he came down on the foot of Atlanta's Joe Johnson in Monday night's 110-87 blowout of the Hawks at American Airlines Center.

Last week, it was Miami's Jason Kapono who charged at Howard after a jump shot. Howard landed on Kapono's foot and wrenched the same ankle.

Monday, it was Johnson who also was running at Howard after a desperation 3-pointer in the fourth quarter. Neither of those players is known as somebody who would push the boundaries of fair play. But the Mavericks now wonder if teams aren't instructing their players to run under Howard and other Mavericks on perimeter shots.

"I just know it was a point of emphasis in the [preseason] officials' meeting and there ain't nothing happening," Howard said. "It's happened to me five times this year. And I think I'm the only guy it happens to.

"Hopefully, they'll send the tapes in and have a talk with those people, because that ain't right. I'm the only one it's been happening to and I know it's not fate. Somebody's telling somebody to do something."

Fortunately, Howard's injury does not appear serious. X-rays after the game were negative and he was able to walk with only a slight limp. He was listed as day-to-day as the Mavericks boarded their flight to Minnesota, where they play the Timberwolves tonight.

Howard missed eight games early this season when he sprained his left ankle coming down from a jump shot. Golden State's Mickael Pietrus was the guilty party.

"Hopefully, he should be OK," coach Avery Johnson said. "But we got to really, really look at that play. I'll deal with it. And they [the referees] were aware of it."

Johnson said he's detected a trend of defending Maverick shooters in this fashion. Defenders have to respect Howard's drive to the basket so much that they back off of him when he's on an isolation play.

If he pulls up for the jumper, they have no choice but to lunge toward him, often coming down in the space where he took off from for the jumper.

"If a shooter is landing in the same spot where he took off, he ought to get at least that," said Austin Croshere. "Josh gets up so high on his jumper, there's more of a chance for somebody to get under him."

Atlanta coach Mike Woodson said the idea of Joe Johnson using a dirty ploy was preposterous.

"I hope Josh isn't hurt, but that's just a basketball play," Woodson said. "We would never try to hurt anybody. In fact, we don't know how to hurt anybody right now."

Mavericks teammates and coach Avery Johnson evaluate injured forward Josh Howard. That much was evident in the game, which the Mavericks took control of in the second quarter. They were never threatened after halftime as Dirk Nowitzki (27 points), Jason Terry (21) and Howard (20) led an efficient offense. Jerry Stackhouse had 19 points off the bench and Croshere was effective, too, as the Mavericks rolled to their 12th straight win.

The win came in spite of being shorthanded as Greg Buckner, already suffering from a broken nose, sat out after bruising his left knee against Denver on Saturday. With Devean George already out with a right knee injury, the Mavericks had to scramble in the backcourt. Buckner's status for tonight's visit to Minnesota will not be known until game time. Both Buckner and Howard made the trip.

And while the winning streaks keep getting more impressive – this is their third of 12 or longer this season and their 20th in a row at home – Avery Johnson was concentrating on other things.

"I'd like to have double [digit] winning streaks starting April 20," he said.

That would be at the start of the playoffs.

In the meantime, he'd settle for the league keeping a closer watch on defenders who crowd his shooters.

I'm quoting myself to support steppy's accurate statement:

Big Dog didn't play with the Sixers or the Hornets during 2004-05, but that was because of injuries and perceptions that he was a cancer; it had nothing to do with retirement.

Functionally, his career might have been over at that point, but not because Big Dog decided it was over. He hadn't retired.

You hope! If it was Dirk out and one of your regular frontline guys out I think you would be singing another tune. :blah

not really, we can change it up a bit for a couple of games against teams like the hawks (suns did lose to the hawks, right?)

anyway, when nash was out, suns had a perfect opportunity to change it up a bit, slow down the game, take it to the hole, which would've benefited amare, maybe try out jalen, none of this happened which leades me to believe that they can't tweak their game and change it based on the opposing team's play

Oh, by the way, I don't think the Mavs could have survived last year without Dirk like we did without Amare. Just goes to show you the heart the Suns have and how important Nash is.

Well losing Amare for the Suns is more like lost Howard for the Mavs. A serious blow, but their most important player was still on the court.

There's no doubt that the Suns play their heart out, and that Nash is great. They just can't play defense. Maybe in a year or two they will.

Yes, we did lose to the Hawks without Nash and Kurt Thomas. Mavs lost to the Warriors did they not and this was with Dirk wasn't it? If you have not noticed, we do take it to the hole as evidenced by Amare's freethrows in the last game. We just do not have a second point guard that can run this team.

In reply to your last paragraph, they do play defense. If you look at the percentages we are not that far off from what you limit other teams field goal percentage to.

Dunking - the foundation of every good basketball player.

The Suns are on TNT 6 days a week - i can't help but watch every game. ESPN does a daily show called "Recapping the day for the legendary Phoenix Suns" in place of Sportscenter. I have yet to see evidence of him being able to do anything without a perfect pass from Nash putting him in perfect position.

Not too many games without him, but this season he's been out one game and had two games where he played only 10 minutes (which i think even you'd agree is limited enough to consider him as not being a real factor in the game)....and the mavs are 3-0 in those games.

Back on topic, though - Amare has gotten much better at creating his own shots especially since the All-Star break. He's getting more lift on his jumper and that quick first step is back so all the onus isn't on Nash. In fact, Nash's assists have increased as a result of Amare's overall athletic improvement (i.e. defenders might cheat to Amare leaving others open or Amare is hitting more shots on passes from Nash).

I just prefer Amare over Dirk, plain and simple. I like power players like Amare more than Dirk type players. At least he doesn't flop his way to the freethrow line like Dirk. It is almost like watching the Kings in the past with Vlade. It is pretty pathetic the way he has to throw his arms out like he is being killed. If you are down on floppers you have no further to look than your own team.

As long as it's rewarded, all good players do that...it's why Amare got to the line 17 times the other night. It's called being demonstrative to insure that you get the call, doesn't mean the call was necessarily bad...look at those fouls in slo-mo and you'll see that in most (of course not all) instances, the call was good.

They beat Toronto and Seattle when Dirk played almost none of the game. Oh yeah, the same Seattle team that beat the Suns by 24 when Nash was out.

Funny how now the Nuggets become "depleted". Although having both Camby and the "superstar" Iverson in the game would hardly mean that they were depleted. I'm sure every time Nash was out, the other team played the best game in the history of their franchise. I'm sure those Atlanta Hawks all coincidentally played the game of their lives in order to win. That's why the Suns lost.

Amare doesn't act like Dirk at all. He doesn't flop to the ground and throw out his arms like he is being killed. He just powers it up and makes the shot and doesn't hope the refs bail him out.

Let's see, who was on that team? Nash, Amare, Joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson, Shawn Marion, Barbosa and Jimmy Jackson. Joe was out with a horrible face injury so we basically played six players. So what is your excuse for last year besides thinking the refs robbed you of the title? :lol

More proof that almost all Mavericks fans are incapable of civilized discussion. Where's JMark when you need him? :rolleyes

The regular season isn't over yet and monosylab is already predicting the outcome of this year's Finals. Seems pretty foolish to me. It's going to take a combination of determination, skill, versatility, health, and some luck to win the Finals. Last year, it looked like the Mavs had it all after they beat the Spurs, but look how that turned out. In '04, it looked like the Lakers were going to wrap up another championship, but the Pistons came out of nowhere.

Point is, you can't be completely sure about your team until they've actually won it. Neither of our teams have won it, so why have this discussion?

On another note, the Suns have had two good chances so far to make it to the Finals. In '05, it was Nash's first year, so they still had a lot of growing to do as a team. In '06, the Suns were decimated by injuries, and overachieved. Even Suns fans didn't expect them to do as well as they did. Now it's '07. This could be our year, this could be someone else's year. It's not up to us to decide.

We would never have to. Our GM and coach went out and got some BENCH PLAYERS. If a few guys go out with injury we can plug other guys in there. They may not be as good but they can still keep our team competitive.

Part of building a team is getting good role/bench players. Running and gunning for 35-40 minutes a night is more likely to get guys hurt. You don't get guys who can fill in when injuries happen, that's your fault. To be fair, I can't stand when I hear the Mavs woulda won in 2004 against SA if Dirk wasn't hurt. He was, we lost.

Running and gunning has no connection to injuries. If anything, Suns players are better conditioned to play that style than anyone else. Players get hurt because of their own physical weaknesses or because of in-game accidents, not because of the style of game they play.

You are an idiot. Over the course of 82 games, that style of play WILL take a toll on your body, and raise the chances of you getting hurt.

The only reason those broken down has beens went to the Spurs was to win a title. They didn't retire, but they took less money for a ring. It's the same thing. I don't like when players do it either, and Reggie would be a douche if he did it, but you need to put guys like Gary Payton, Karl Malone, and Chris Webber into that category, too.

They are less vulnerable to injury because they're more conditioned to play that style. It's why the Suns constantly tire inferior teams out, because they simply can't keep up with the athleticism and speed of the Suns.

It might tire a guy like Nash out, who is older and has had injuries linger long before he got to Phoenix. But I haven't seen a single case where the Suns faster tempo has been the cause of an injury.

I think grind it out games are more harmful to the players bodies than the run and gun style. Coach doesn't make them practice for long periods of time like some coaches so they can save their legs for games. The way the east plays is more likely to cause injury.

Grind out teams aren't "always" healthy - I know Spurs had some injuries come playoff time before. You're going to try and say Joe Johnson's facial injury was because his body was so worn down?

Raja's maybe because he snapped his calf on a jumper with no one around, but Joe's was just an accident... which sucked.

Nash was definitely worn down last year, but in '05, I think the Suns just weren't deep or skilled enough as a team (esp. without Joe Johnson) to get past the Spurs and screwed themselves by going down 3-0.

He's not really a spot up shooter. In Indiana they would run plays for him coming off picks.

Two problems with that in Dallas: 1) They already have enough threats. They're not going to run plays for him. 2) While he was in Indiana, he was one of the best conditioned athletes in the NBA. Is he anywhere near as conditioned to still do that? I doubt it.

Wouldn't mind Reggie coming back, I always liked him. Wouldn't be as dumb as Scottie coming back either, but still. Retired players should stay retired.

How many major injuries have the Spurs ever had going into the playoffs? All I can recall was the "plantair fascilitis" (or however you spell it) that Duncan had last year, yet he still managed to go out and take play at another level. no excuses, nothing (well, a few whiny Spurs fans here and there made the excuse, but the majority of Spurs fans were very good about not making excuses, which is why i have FAR more respect for them, as opposed to whiny-ass Suns fans, who have nothing EXCEPT excuses for everything).
lol stretch used to be pretty retarded, Spurs fans have made more excuses than anyone else the last few years.

Stern hates our small market :cry
Manu was injured :cry
Parker was injured :cry
Lakers are meanies for unfair trades :cry

Reggie on the radar? No way of knowing how serious it is yet, but Reggie Miller could be a candidate for the Mavericks' vacant roster spot.

Owner Mark Cuban brought up Miller's name before Monday's game against the Hawks. The former Indiana Pacers star is the No. 1 3-point shooter in NBA history. He retired after the 2004-05 season, but remains in excellent physical shape.

And joining the Mavericks would give him the chance to do about the only thing he never did in his illustrious career – win a championship.:lmao:lmao:lmao

Avery Johnson said he and president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson have been discussing options for the open spot, but are not close to any decisions.

Miller currently is a member of TNT's broadcast team.



I just read this in the DMN. Seems like a useless manuver and an extreme long shot, but an interesting thought all the same.....


Zero shot at winning a championship this year with the Mavericks that's for sure.

The closest he'll ever come to winning a 'ship is the 2000 NBA Finals.

you dont realize just how bad the suns fans around here were back in those days, and the spurs fans were considerably more tolerable.

suns fans for a while were by far the worst fans on the board. those days were quite fun for regulators around here, because it was a daily occurence that a sun fan would get regulated. those actually may have been the golden days for regulators on Spurstalk.

This isn't about Suns fans, it's about the retarded notion Spurs fans don't make excuses, when they're is a cult of Spurs fans on this site that believe they'd be working on a 10-peat if not for the refs/injuries.

I would say it was worse back then since the Spurs were actually a contender and Black SpurFan resided in the NBA Forum before LakerFan came and Grey SpurFan took their place.

But I do agree that the Pre-DoK Suns fans were absolutely retarded (with a few exceptions)

So both teams have fan bases that make excuses when they lose. Go figure.

As dumb as the excuses Sunfan makes (and trust me I know all about how retarded their excuses are), I've never seen a Suns fan who's come up with conspiracy theories as nutty and retarded as the ones Galileo and Faggs have come up with.

you could be right. it may just be that it seems more frequent that we see retarded spurfan claims because now there has been such a surge of lakerfans who do all the ring smack and other crap that spurfans resort to their excuse bullshit.

Tbh I think we can all agree that rocket fan is easily the dumbest fan base. Despite being 1/20 of the laker fan base, they hold their own in retardation and stupidity.

While we're talking about dumb fanbases, I will say Pistonfan is by far the most overrated fan base. Jamstone consistently brings the goods as well as a few others, but Bob Lanier and Darrin are two of the dumbest motherfuckers on this site. They really aren't stupid as a fanbase, but the way they're hyped up to be all knowing basketball gods on this site is ridiculous. They bring as much Kobe > Jordan stupidity to the table as Lakerfan does, and I've seen several circle jerks among Pistons fans on this site about how much they love games that have a final score of 43 to 57.

So when it's all said and done, the best fanbase on Spurstalk unquestionably, are the Mavs fans.
