Woj: Andre Miller Has Agreed to Sign with Spurs

[SpursDynasty]

Does anyone not remember what Andre Miller did to the Spurs on 2/28/2002 in Cleveland? He dropped 37 points on us as a Cavs team who had no business being in the game with us beat us 114-107 in OT.

After that game, David Robinson got up on the team plane and basically told the team to wake up.

The team finished the regular season 22-3 after that Cleveland loss. Still lost in the playoffs that year but began the dynasty the following season with a championship. I say that night is when the current Spurs' run began.

We owe Andre Miller for making our team what it is now.

cagey, dependable veteran, perfect pg insurance if parker were to get ginobilized by a dirty player.

[T Park]

So.
We will likely cut McCallum, right. So that's a wasted second rounder. GG, PATFO.

Yeah what a group of failure that front office is

Same front office that was trying to trade for Spencer Hawes. They are definitely not infallible.

Better to give him a ring than sign him now

Was Hawes going to be the starting center or something?

No, but they thought RJeff as a starter was a good idea.

He also threw the lob to Batum for the game winner:

Honestly I think Miller is like those kind of signings that nobody expects anything but the guy becomes a solid addition. The backup PG situation is pretty bad without Manu in the 2nd unit.

Love Simmons, but watching him handling the ball and trying to initiate the offense was cringe worthy.

[Mnky]

I think posting Andre Miller on Steph curry 10 times a game will slow him down some. He doesn't need to be fast to get an entry pass tbh.

[Arcadian]

...why?

They wanted a pass-first PG to back up Parker.

If Miller takes 10 shots away from Kawhi or LMA in the playoffs im gonna be livid.

Better PG than Porker

I can see this. It's want OKC is doing to curry right now with success. Obviously, Miller is no Westbrook but the principle is the same: you have to attack curry

[Beaverfuzz]

He would be the only real pg on the team tbh

In a way, you're right.

[Mnky]

Lma and Kawhi will get there's. Pop would attack curry with Parker running through screens in the past to take his legs away on his jumpshot. Posting him up with Miller, who is a Duncan of pgs in the post, will tire his whole body out and cause their defense to break down with help.

Not saying we will ever see it.. but if Pop is keen on attacking curry in the post, it makes too much sense to get Miller.

As far as the young guys,
Miller can also help Kawhi with his decision making down low tbh. Miller is great with his vision, and the young guys can learn from a pass playmaking pg that the spurs haven't seen in years.

[Beaverfuzz]

I think Pop is just going to rest Tony for a while, who's been having a marked decline lately, especially since he played last summer. This also opens the door for Andre to run PG on the bench unit with Mills playing SG until Manu comes back...

I don't really think he'll have a much bigger role in the playoffs than T-Mac had, tbh...

Lately?

[Beaverfuzz]

I have no problem with Andre Miller, he's an upgrade over whomever he's replacing.

Kevin Martin on the other hand, no bueno.

Andre Miller playing against the best player in the world would be some Josef Fritzl , tbh..Steve Kerr would probably be insulted if Miller even saw the floor against the Warriors in a series

Curry was sweating his azz off in the first. Running them off the three and forcing hard fouls in the paint. Plus the post game . ..

People need to realize things will change in the playoffs like they do every year. Strategy is not the concern right now. Chemistry, comfort with the system and development is pops present concerns.

[objective]

Miller has been finished for years, and is beyond finished now. I wouldn't want them to cut any of the current players for him.

[cjw]

Butler being in the game and Parker playing garbage time PG minutes tells you all you need to know as to who will be cut for Miller.

Wouldn't be surprised if Philly (no PGs worth anything after Ish Smith) claims him off waivers, especially if they still have that open roster spot from the voided trade (DMo / Joel Anthony).

You are all crazy to think Ray has any value. He's not that young and he's awful. He was dealt for a second round pick, which you can go buy if you really want to for cash.

Yep. 2nd round picks are really overrated in the NBA. This isn't the NFL. Most Spurs' 2nd round picks end up being eurotrash that we never bring over anyways.

[Mr. Body]

I was kind of amazed Andre Miller had never been a Spur in the first place.
