Reggie Miller to call it quits?

Miller fueled media speculation, however, by declining to answer when asked whether he would return following Tuesday's loss. His father, Saul, reached by telephone Wednesday, said he has heard nothing that makes him believe Miller will retire, adding "a decision like that wouldn't be made for another 30 days at least."

One thing is clear. Nobody within the organization wants him to retire. Miller averaged 10.0 points in the regular season and 10.1 points in the postseason, but his shooting percentages didn't drop much and his intangibles remain essential.

"He's been one of the best teammates I've ever had," said Austin Croshere, Miller's teammate the past seven seasons. "We live close to each other in Los Angeles in the summer and I'll be over at his house every day to talk him out of it, if that's what he decides."

Miller stated two summers ago he would be willing to come off the bench someday if that was best for the team. A trade for a starter is a possibility, but a successor already could be on hand. Fred Jones is athletic, a strong defender, an able passer and shot 49 percent from the field and 50 percent (11-of-22) from 3-point range in the postseason. He also is affordable, still working on his rookie contract

Well if he's willing to come off the bench, I'm sure he would do it. I hope he stays to finish his contract out though. He deserves a ring with Indy.
