Professor Andre Miller, Ph.D.

I figured Dr. Dre deserved his own thread independent of the trade thread.

It's always good to have a veteran with a big ass in your backcourt.

Team high +12 in 14 minutes in last night's win vs. Orlando. Will always get extra credit for being Not Eric Maynor.

Here the subtle distinction between ones own basket and an opponents basket is graphically explained to a young, indiscriminate dunker by the kindly professor.

The doctor will see you now.

Great effort by Dr. Dre to help beat the Raps.

I'm trying to figure out who is the greatest Wizard of all time: Andre Miller or Morris Almond?

It's not close. Mo may have been undefeated, but he didn't actually do anything.

Dre carried the team on his back tonight. I think he still has an outside shot at league MVP, which is all the more impressive given that he doesn't actually have an outside shot.

How about that little run Miller went on in the 2nd.

He just took over the game. That was pure awesome.

Love the post up move and the spin for a layup. It almost has the same effect as a dunk. He just kicks the other team in the gut. I mean when a 37 year old Miller PG is posting up making a 3 foot shot, that's a tough pill to swallow for the other team.

So awesome to finally after all these years to finally have a back up PG to turn to. Wall never had that before.

Honestly, I can't remember when was the last time we had two PG this good.

Strickland and Chris Whitney.. Its been like 15 years.

Professor was playing like he was 32 again.

He's one of the most underrated PGs in league history. He's like 9th ALL TIME in assists.

Lack of postseason success sucks but a guy who can play and be available every game as a floor General is always valuable. Don't care that hrs about to be 38 as long as the wheels keep rollin.

I love his bully ball in the paint, just a thing of beauty...

Miller's game is incredible.

The way he uses his body and change of pace to get separation and to finish at the rim is unreal.

Hope Wall is going to take a close look at what Miller is doing out there on the court.

I hate to give Ernie Grunfeld credit, but Andre Miller is a great backup guard who is still good enough to be an effective starter.

read on espn today that the Wiz were choosing between trading for Miller or Jameer Nelson. I think Miller was the better choice (short-term).

So far, so good on this return on investment

One of the best things about Miller is he's just the kind of player I'm always looking to come to the Wizards (and I'm sure I'm not alone in that). It's not only that he's talented, savvy, tough, durable, and has leadership qualities, but his contract isn't a killer and the team didn't have to mortgage its future in acquiring him. Sure, I didn't like giving up another pick, but that was more a sunk cost to dispose of Maynor's contract. The team moved two players who were serving no real purpose and getting no playing time here, and got back a player who filled the role that (other than 1/2 season of Hinrich) hasn't been filled since Wall arrived. And, they got a needed roster spot out of it.

I like Nene, Okafor, Ariza, and Gortat as players, but due to the acquiring transactions, size of salaries, legitimate health/injury concerns, and possible negation of other, better moves and directions, I didn't like those moves. I don't have any of those issues with Miller, a great addition to the team.

PS: As much as he sucked, Maynor seemed like a really nice guy. I'm glad he's gone so I don't have to be all pissed off at someone who's probably doing the best he can.
