RT @0cks: Mo Williams land ---> Mo has told people he's looking at Miami if the offers don't improve... Mo wants a ring badly.

Honestly I think Memphis is the best place for Mike Miller.

If Miller thinks OKC is best for him and his family, then it's OKC..STOP thinking for MILLER - no disrespect

Mike Miller clears waivers; Spurs, Thunder, Grizzlies and Rockets reportedly interested

happy?

I'm not thinking for him, I'm just saying the best possible fit is Memphis since you know they have no one who can shoot a 3 pointer consistently.

It's a wild idea but they took 14 million ( close to) to play here originally so why not again. It was far fetched for the big 3 so I don't get why this is so blasphemous.

Just curious...have YOU EVER taken a pay cut...EVER to help your company add personnel?

No, the closest thing I have done is quit my job to volunteer free at a hospital where I am at almost all the time. In the case of of most people i see a lot of start ups and some established companies have the CEO's take paycuts to get the proper personal. Now in the case of the Heat the big 3 can easily compensate lost wage of a few million with new endorsement deals.

1st - I applaud what you did/do BUT 2nd...no one can comment intelligently about players compensation, endorsements or anything related to that....IS ALL I'M saying...

playing on "trade sites" using "spreadsheets" is one thing...but we are getting out of hand with this "PAY CUT" stuff...Just sounds like it's coming from people who have never taken a paycut or been asked to take a paycut....

FYI, I've been asked to take a paycut early in my career............I didn't, left company....they are out of business now....all good employees left....started their own consulting firm

"Honestly I think Memphis is the best place for Mike Miller." was your statement, but I'm just being PC right now....a simple IMO

This would be a shocker and no way do I see Mo signing here...But If Mo would sign up for Mini MLE, I would move Cole w/ Joel for a center that could actually play. Give Mo 2 yrs so that his our backup plan in case Chalmers signs else where next year as a FA.

What you're describing is entrepreneurship and yes, it happens all the time.

Trying to give you a back handed compliment and peacefully end this convo as it is leading no where for me....

Don't worry, man, there is peace. I don't have anything against being drunk. Some of my best post contributions on this board happened because I was drunk

^I have no worries...p.s. I am going to ignore your "Drunk" reference

Miller's class all throughout. Apparently looking to sign with a Western Conference contender. Really sad to see him go though, it'll be wrong to see him in an OKC uniform.

As for Dalembert, I'm now sure that Riley didn't want him, or he's higher on Oden/another FA. We could've easily beat what Dallas gave him with our MMLE.

Hearing Mo rumors, I wouldn't mind him with the MMLE as long as we secure a guy like Oden first. For the minimum? Hellz yeah.

Still hoping for Camby. I can see lots of people aren't high on him, but he's still an extra body who can rebound/block shots and is decent insurance, since Birdman was relatively lucky last season health-wise.

That's the thing with dalembert, he doesn't care about contenders or wanting to win. He wants the most money he can get. Thankfully the mavs offered him more and miami doesn't have to deal with him.

Rip Hamilton is done. Didn't do anything to help Chicago over the last couple seasons. No thanks.

Mo Williams is injured all the time, and let's be honest. LeBron didn't come to Miami to team with a choker like Mo. He's already been down that road.

I'd be thrilled with Mo-Will and Camby. Those two along with retaining Ray/Bird would make this a very successful offseason

Even if Mo-Will doesn't pan out, he'll be on a good contract so he's moveable
