That spot is for Jimmer
Miller is 6'8", despite being old, he is a proven knock down shooter. Spurs should sign miller up to camp to evaluate him. Last year he didn't do well with the Cavs, but in the previous year with the Griz, he averaged 24 minutes per game in the playoffs.
Oh.... I'm assuming he gets waived though.
no use. the 15th spot will be Jimmer's.
I'd offer him the same contract and opportunity as Jimmer. Resolve it in camp.
He's not coming here tbqh. He'll get a fully guaranteed deal to play in OKC or Memphis.
Just give Eddie the spot and call it an off season.
This. Mike Miller is not at the place, yet, where he will accept a partial guarantee, and the Spurs won't give him a fully guaranteed deal with young developable players competing for that 15th spot.
Nobody is being "given" anything. Fredette was signing #15, and Ndoye was signing #16. I expect a few more signings, which may or may not include Jarrell Eddie, to bring the numbers up to around the allowable 20 for camp. Signings 15 - 20 will all be competing for one spot.
I think Eddie needs a year of seasoning with the Toros.
He also prove to the Spurs that he has the work ethic. Eddie gifted with a shooting touch appears to be lazy as on the other side of the court.
Last year there were a ton of players in camp (Jonathon Simmons wasn't one of them). Bryce Cotton, Josh Davis, Jamychal Green, John Holland.
Whatever happened to Josh Davis (KL clone) anyway?
Googled... looks like this is what happened to him: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2hrl9a
I know that we are probably going to need more expert shooting in the playoff situation (kind of insurance on Icy/Hot Green), but Miller looks to be finished in the sense he can't stay on court on anymore with his late spate of injuries..Let's just how Simmons/KA duo fare first and then maybe look at other options available in buyout period after February..Those 6-8 minutes Belli used to fill in with the occasional crucial, lead-protecting 3 will be missed somewhere,IMO...
Better option than jimmer for sure, we need another who can play sf...
They still haven't cut Williams yet, so the team has 17 spots taken up so far.
Sounds like he wants a little bit more PT, so I'd imagine that eliminates the possibility of him coming here. If he played like he did in 2014 with Memphis, I'd probably take him over Simmons/Anderson and he'd actually have a spot in the rotation...but it's doubtful he returns to that level.
Miller's best chance then is to hang onto a fringe playoff team like Memphis two years ago. I guess New Orleans and Milwaukee would be good choices. Both would welcome his shooting and veteran presence.
He's past his prime, but still better than Jimmer.
^^ Of course my hope would be that the Spurs coaching staff could tap into whatever potential Jimmer has.
Choo Choo got ing derailed.
I can see him going back to Memphis....
I'd rather see Jimmer chasing 3rd string point guards around getting publicly emasculated by Pop than watch Miller drag his legs around the court like a dog with worms for a year. Pass.
No, for the 10th one, considering they don't have a proven player or player that projects as a good fit for it.
But, hey, there's only a championship at stake, let's chance lessening the odds by handing a rotation spot, by default, to two fringe prospects, so that the average age of the roster is slightly lower.
He has a good chance of cracking this particular one (at least for the games that matter most), since he's similar to the player he'd be replacing and considering the other options to fill the spot.
All things being equal, he'd probably choose the Grizzlies again, but they don't really have a potential rotation spot to offer.
It may take until the buy out period, but at some point, this spot is more than likely going to a veteran anyway. I'll take one of the better spot up shooters ever, that's not known to complain if he's not in the rotation and is a hard nosed compe or with championship experience, over the likes of Butler, Delfino, Garcia, etc.
Miller doesn't offer anything outside of shooting and it's been that way for three year, but he'll be a perfect situational player.
He'd be a great 15th man addition.
He a team guy too.
yeah he is a team guy told the cavs he wants to be play so he got out of the cavs
was not happy being the 15 guy on bench
If Mike Miller has to play for any extended period of time, your championship odds are probably pretty low already, tbh... We already signed the "proven, end of the bench vet shooter", his name is Matt Bonner...
