The Official Welcome Andre Miller Thread!!!!!
Hedo who?
Personally I'm stoked on Miller coming here. He fills several needs in one package. He will be ( a little ) better on pick-and-roll / perimeter defense, be a third scoring option, take some pressure off Roy, bring a veteran presence to the team, run the pick-and-roll ( MUCH better than our current PG's ), maybe actually run the floor for an easy bucket or two, and most importantly get to the rim and FT line. Is he perfect? No. His lackluster 3 point shooting is a concern, but we have ENOUGH shooters! I can't wait to see our PG get to the rack, break down the D, and get easy buckets, FT's, or dishes to shooters or nearby bigs to ram it down their throats. His age is a concern, but he has missed 3 GAMES IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER. The term Iron Man was invented for him. He also is a player who doesn't rely on his athleticism, but his basketball IQ. The more I think about Dre coming here, the more I am glad about Hedo backing out at the last second and Utah matching for Milsap. Dre is exactly the kind of player this team needs. No, he is not the player I was hoping for the most. But he is a Blazer now. He is our point guard. Welcome to our family Dre! I will be screaming for you 21 games a year from section 301.

When is he coming into town?
We need to give him the same welcome we gave Rudy.

Agreed

I cannot believe this went off the front page so quick
and that no one is writing on it. While not a sure thing, this could be a very under rated move that could vastly improve the team. I am excited for him to join the team and the more I think about it the more I think this could be a great move. And he is a Blazer now, so, welcome!
All the love Sergio got for his great passing should be there for Miller, I cannot wait for the lobs, my god the lobs! HE’s like a big Sergio that can get to the rim and shoot midrange jumpers! YEsss!
