I'd sign him. But I'd rather go after Kyle Korver.
Deadeye and can defend.
I've read from a few online articles that Mike Miller is likely to get amnestied next season by the Heat. If he does, are we allowed to sign him? How would you guys feel about us signing him as a backup SF/SG? Although he isn't as athletic as he was in his younger days, a shooter always retains his shooting touch. He's clearly shown that he can still ball at the NBA level, and says that he should be able to play 4 or 5 more years with his current health.

Mike Miller Full Highlights 2013.04.05 at Bobcats - 26 Pts, 7 3-Pointers
Mike Miller 15 points in the finals on 5/5 three pointers

Nope, oft hurt, he can shoot but doesn't fit our system. Spend money on someone younger who will grow with Kawhi, Danny etc.
Another shooter than can't play D? No thanks
No thanks. Plays zero D. Spend the money on a big who can defend and rebound.
This. Korver is your guy. Neal out, Korver in.
I don't mind having a couple of solid old dudes on the bench as long as they're gamers. If he's willing to settle for limited minutes as a 10th or 11th man, somebody like that would be ideal. We need younger guys further up the rotation, but not everywhere IMO.
He's actually an underrated defender. If you've watched some of the game breakdowns from Coach Nick of "bballbreakdowns", you'd hear C.Nick praise his ability to smoothly switch between defenders. I didn't hear any fan complain once about Dwyane Wade's lack of defense after all he gave Green all those wide open three pointers (Yes, Green was supposed to be Wade's man).
He doesn't provide much more than what Danny already does. Pass. We need a creator, not a spot-up shooter.
Unlike Green, Miller's actually comfortable handling the ball.
Green will get better at handling the ball, plus he needs a step in jumper after he gets run off the 3. We do need a creator, Kawhi though will get more offense next season.
You can add that he is 33, barely walking, looking like his legs are going to fall off soon. His defense doesn't exist.
Pass.
rather go after jj red
Red Or Korver. Miller would probably just break down and do nothing here.
Dude can't even stand up straight anymore. No thanks.
Need youngblood now to balance out the vets we already have.
no thanks
We don't need a great SF signing, let's spend the money on a big. We just need a backup that can play 10-15 minutes and Miller or Korver would be perfect for that.
like we need another 33 year old in our roster
Again, people exaggerate his defense. Sure, it wasn't that good as someone like Lebron, but it sure as wasn't that bad either. It wasn't Miller who guarded Green and let him break the record for the most three pointers in a finals series (Wade). It wasn't Miller who let Duncan dominate him in the post, where he averaged 19 points and 12 rebounds (Bosh). In my opinion, the only reason people say that is because of the stereotype that white guys (who aren't centers) can't play defense. Red and Korver also fall into this stereotype. I mean, people say that Bird played no defense even though he averaged above 9 rebounds a game.

Defense, geez.
No, please
If the Spurs are going to sign a veteran bench shooter for cheap, I'd easily go with Mike Dunleavy over Miller or Korver, tbh..
He's an average defender, he's a great 3-point shooter, and he's a solid rebounder compared to the typical 3-point specialist..
cosigned. he seems far more likely to get gritty than those two. Korver is a good pick, but I think Dunleavy would be a better overall deal and would excel on a team like the Spurs.
Screw that guy. He can stay on his bought team and enjoy his bought championships.
I used to like Miller a lot before he became one of LeBron's enablers.
Let him collect his ring and retire or go down with a mediocre team.
I'd rather keep Bonner than sign anyone from the ing Superfriends reserve squad.
