Eh i dont really want Miller.
Miller would serve the purpose of being a tall physical big that can guard Bynum in the POs, and can help out on the boards. He's also a long 7 footer who can help Duncan disrupt shots.
This is probobly the best they are gonna do this year bigman wise, so they oughtta go after it.
Eh i dont really want Miller.
How do the Spurs take on Miller's 11+ mil salary without going far into luxury tax this year and next? Between Tim, Tony, Manu, and Miller, the total salary would be 53+ mil. That leaves about 17 mil for the 11 other players before going into the luxury tax. The only way I can see it happening at the moment is something like Salmons and Miller for Manu and other parts. Now, don't get too agitated... I'm not recommending that trade... just saying it makes the numbers work.
I don't really see why Sac would want to dump Salmons, he seems quite worth his contract to me. Miller I can see them wanting to dump
per 48 minutes, Bonner's Numbers are actually quite comparable to Miller's, why would we pay 4x the money and give up other players for a slight upgrade there?
Not worth it, not even close,
Salmons on the other hand... no, he would be replacing Bowen and Finley mostly, and I don't see the Spurs doing that, especially with the beloved Bowen.
Salmons/Beno for Horry/Vaughan/random pick
Miller is Oberto, but better shooter and rebounder. I'll take him, if we could make it work.
Salmons is a classic sell high. He's not as good as he's looked this season so cashing out on him makes a whole lot of sense for the Kings.
Get Miller. It would work!
I would much rather have Salmons. Many of us on here have been calling this for a while. He provides us another all around scorer, he is an able defender. He only makes the MLE and he has a player option for the 2010 year, which means he can opt out if he is unhappy and if he works, he is cheap.
I think he's plenty good, he's just never got much playing time. If you look at his career numbers they are on par with what he is doing now ratio wise. He is also young and fills that athletic forward position we're looking for. Oh yeah he can also rebound.
only a Spurs fan would call 29 young
I agree, this is the best they can do this year for a big man and this what they need MOST. Do not forget that. They can sign a wing man over the summer, the big man cannot wait if we wanna make a run for a championship!
MILLER TIME!
Compared to some of the guys we got now he's rookie fresh.
I don't see a deal with Sacramento as likely, but this story is pretty good for shining a light on how the Spurs can make other trades work by using Horry.
Signing Horry makes it easier to make salaries match other deals, and with the benefit of expiring after this season.
With the Kings, Miller makes too much money with tax implications, as has been pointed out. It's a shame though, he's better than the usual stiffs that are in the Spurs feasible price range this time of year. He misses way too many games though.
Duncan with a follow putback AND1
Has anyone mentioned that Spurs orginally drafted Salmons in 2002? (Actually, they drafted him for Larry Brown and the Sixers and got one year of Speedy Claxton in return -- albeit a championship year.)
Miller would be a good fit here. He's not a shot blocker but he's a good rebounder, big body in the post, and can step out and hit the long jumper.
He's the likely target instead of Salmons.
I just don't see Finley signing off on a trade though. Especially to a team with no championship hopes.
Hmmm well Miller is a 7 foot big body we could use, on the other hand we could use Salmons as well, dude is averaging 18 points per game on 47% shooting and 41% from three!
Another note I just found on ESPN'S news and notes when you click on the names of the players: An MRI on Miller revealed a strained left hip flexor and he will miss the next three games, the Sacramento Bee reports.
Miller, who had been diagnosed with an abdominal strain, has missed the last three games. He will be re-evaluated next week, but you can be sure the Kings will rest him through the All-Star break in hopes of having him healthy by the time the Feb. 19 trade deadline hits.
Wonder if this will complicate things now....
i saw this again on hoopshype and i began thinking that it might be possible to get salmons. miller's contract is completely out of the realm of possibility but salmon's contract is reasonable. horry's $3.6 million + udoka's $1 million is enough to get him. if the kings just want expiring contracts and a second rounder to make room for kevin martin, salmons would be a great addition. he's a good defender and has developed offensively this year. obviously the spurs want a bigman but salmons would be a huge upgrade over finley/udoka. the wing position is pretty crowded but an upgrade is an upgrade. $5 million hardly interferes with the 2010 plan and right how it seems that he's well worth his contract ever since he pulled a turkoglu. in 2010, he will only be 30-31, still in his prime.
if the front office is getting as creative as it seems throwing Horry into the mix, and also with the rumor of them chasing Vince Carter I do not think that Brad Miller is completely out of realm. He would be a good fit, a big who can spread the floor and give them what they need MOST right now. We don't need other wing man, Kendrick Perkins killed Matt Bonner today. I see this team going after Miller. Its Miller FN TIME! And I tried out trades on ESPNs Trade Machine and there are several ways to get Miller(who does not fit into Sacramentos future plans)
No idea, there are plenty of cheap physical/athletic centers around.
I like Miller, but damn, I wish he was at least a competent shotblocker. I'd almost rather have Rasho, if he wasn't so damn expensive.
This is getting a little ridiculous. Spurs interested in Rasheed, Carter and now Salmons and Miller.
