Woj: Andre Miller Has Agreed to Sign with Spurs

[Drom John]

17 player years in the playoffs at age 40+.
None on the same time.
3 Dikembe Mutombo
2 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Willis
1 Robert Parish, James Edward, Charles Jones, Herm Williams, Rick Mahorn, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Clifford Robinson and Grant Hill

35 player years 39+
39 year olds Dominique Wilkins and Danny Schayes played for Orlando in 1999, 1 game, both in the same game, 8 minutes Schayes, 3 minutes Wilkins. Together?
As noted above, 39 year old Malone and 40 year old Stockton for Utah in 2003.

He actually started playing in the NBA only 2 years before Parker...

Good research. Thanks man!

Spurs stockpiling future coaching hires? Bonner and now Miller?

[Seventyniner]

Great find.

Stockton and Malone were bad ass.

Not a bad idea. Udoka, Messina, Hammon could all be gone within a few years.

[Spurtacular]

Ray wouldn't have helped this year.

At least Miller might have an impact.

I'm not sure Pop gave him much of a chance. But I tend to think Ray was a sound player who wasn't gonna be a difference maker if he couldn't give Parker more rest though.

Ray has good athleticism and a decent stroke, his biggest problem is that he can't orchestrate the offense.

There you have it. So this will be the first time ever. Spurs making history

[Solid D]

Pop has been using post-ups from several players this season. Miller has an excellent post-up game for a lead guard. Andre is yet another option for the coaches to use there.

[DenialTwist]

Miller is ready to retire. Weird signing. The Spurs need some youth and athleticism at the pg position which is the strongest position among all the contenders.

Yet another post up player.... don't Spurs already have:

Leonard
Aldridge
Duncan
West
Diaw
Anderson
.... and now Miller

that looks like Pop's game plan... post the opponent to death!

lol andre miller, the reason why Denver lost to Warriors in 2013 playoff and Karl got fired...

not familiar with that series. didn't care, didn't watch.

but in it, at 37, he dropped 28 points including a game winner:

so he won them one outta the two games they took against the warriors. he's two years older but the spurs will be relying on him considerably less than that.

george karl wanted a longer deal. and he sucks. so if andre did have something to do getting karl fired as opposed to getting an extension then i guess that's an example of his high bb iq.

[Kawhitstorm]

^ 2006 Alonzo Mourning and Gary Payton is probably up there (and they won the 'ship), but neither was 40 IIRC

Kerr, Admiral, Wills were older than those guys.

[itzsoweezee]

Andre Miller is one of those guys that thinks he's better than he actually is. He's a locker room cancer that never really contributes in a productive way. Let's hope he stays glued to the bench and doesn't supplant Patty in the rotation - this is a real fear given Popovich's somewhat dubious past of playing washed up favorites over more deserving players.

Do you have a link for said "locker room cancer" thing?

Young competent pg don't just appear for free. Look at the pile of trash that is this year's number two pick. good pg come up more than competent big men, but the spurs don't have the ability to trade for a better fit than d league and buy outs.

That game was the honey trap, game 1 was most fluke and lying game, Karl got fooled and kept playing Miller big minutes for every game, Miller was big damege with his play in this series, series that got Karl fired...

[Jubabe]

I really bet that Pop has it under control.
