Head scratcher
There are a number of reasons the Spurs made a move to add 39-year-old point guard Andre Miller.
To hear general manager R.C. Buford tell it, the vanity of the team’s star player is one.
“We had to get somebody to make Tim feel young,” Buford said.

A.K.A. Livingston.“There are some matchups in the playoffs that are not great for Tony and Patty where maybe (Miller) would be a better choice,” Buford said.
Seems like a smart move to me. Adds more veteran experience and a player that can be relied on for spot minutes in the playoffs or if Tony, Patty, or Manu are unavailable.
And this is coming from someone who always felt Miller was slightly overrated. He is still a better option that McCallum would be in these situations, and like someone already said, Spurs are particularly in "win-now" mode while Duncan is still tying up his laces.
Spurs lack playmakers and Miller despite being old as can still play and run an offense imo, good signing
Does Miller has a proved history against Livingston? Posting, bullying him? Cause SL is 6'7" while Miller is 6'3".
Not sure about any proven history per se. But Miller has 15 lbs and an inch on Parker, and three inches on Mills, so he's a better physical matchup regardless. He's also a better post threat and post defender, which is one of Livingston's preferred spots on the floor.
Tbh, the thought of Livingston posting up Patty was a considerable concern to me. Will remain to be seen if this is the solution, but at least the Spurs have options now.
Cool. Thanks Dex
Missing FT's. He'll fit right in.
Maybe we'll have positive things happen with this number 24 as opposed to the last
Malcolm Thomas? He was alright for us, just never given much of a chance
Is it not odd that Miller didn't know about the Spurs deal since it wasn't a trade and he wasn't claimed? I guess he gave his list of preferred teams to his agent and when the Spurs called his agent chose off of that?
Also, if people have read about Miller, he's an odd dude. Doesn't seem to have friends or really care about teammates in that way. Like a really anti-social Duncan in that he not only is reserved, but almost rubs people the wrong way.
Porker struggled against WASHED UP Marion early in the 2014 series.They put Marion on him
Nice try.

Just watching the interview, his reaction seemed odd.
I mean, you just got bought out by your former team, you are at the end of your career and then all of a sudden you are playing for a championship. I would think a little more excitement is called for.
