Andre Miller at the trade deadline

[cd021]

Ahhh...The Jimmer...this guy could benefit from shooting with a little more space and time in the spurs. I would take him for the right price.

Is he a PG or another SG parading as PG? If the later Mills already fills the role.

The problem with Andre Miller is that he's a terrible locker room guy.

The dude just doesn't understand that he's an average player, at best. He was horrible in Denver last year and still griped that he wasn't getting enough playing time. The same was true in Portland, where he had very vocal disagreements with Coach McMillan. In his mind, Andre Miller is the best pg in the NBA.

On top of that, he's a horrible shooter (which doesn't stop him from shooting, btw).

He's a 14point 7dime 4 rebound career guy. That's not even close to average. The sheer fact that he's played until he's 38 in the NBA means he's way, way above the "average" watermark in this league. A PER of 15+ is pretty damn solid for a backup point guard.

It's amazing how much hate legitimately *good* players get on these forums. I mean, sure, if I had my druthers, I hope Patty or CoJo have a breakout year and establishes themselves as a solid backup. But if that doesn't happen, whose hands are you going to put the ball in in the WCF or Finals when Parker is on the bench?

He doenst have the handles to be an NBA PG, IMO, Mills is a little better in this aspect.
If I had to choose, I think ill take Fredette over Mills, at this moment, he is a little taller, a little younger, and a better shooter...mmm...idk...its close.
The key here is that the Spurs are better than the Kings, accounting that and how the Jimmer could improve, Ill take him.

Jimmer will be dropped or cut from Sacramento by next season. No reason to pay a high price for a guy that is on his way out on that team. Could he help the Spurs? I don't know. Sure he can shoot, but his defense is horrendous. Even Bonner can give a bigger battle against an opposing player. He would spread the floor, but I don't think Pop can live with his poor defense.

Team option at the end of the season and is currently the 3rd point guard in the rotation Vasquez and Thomas both aren't likely to be overtaken in rotation. He will be cut. He is an odd fit in the league. He apparently isn't really a play maker and he can't defend at a league average level. Great shooting is a fairly average skill it can be replaced.

I concur. I mentioned the fact he had a very good season last year. He also historically is a very high assist to low turnover player who knows his range, or lack there of. Last season he was better than his career mark averaging 3:1 assist to turnovers. Thats better than Patty or De Colo could do in the same amount of playing time. He can definitely still play.

There are a lot of mediocre stat-padders in the league. There's a good reason Miller's been on six different teams already in his career. As someone who saw him up close in Portland, he wouldn't make the Spurs better.

Unless teams are giving players away at the deadline,, Lowry, Vasquez and Ariza aren't coming here.
The Spurs have Zero assets that other teams want. Make that negative assets.

Those were just examples of players that they should target. I said nothing of the Spurs possibly being interested in those players. Personally I think they need to see what they have in Joesph and if doesn't show any improvement by mid-point this season, the Spurs should seriously consider making a move for a veteran point-guard.
