He is a local and likes it here, but he does have trade value. I do not see us actively trying to move him, but he would be considered a valuable trade piece.

his contract also expires after next season so during the season he will be an expiring contract unless he gets an extension from the wolves which i dont see happening. Anyways i just asked because he didnt play that well this season, he wasnt getting much time when mchale took over either. I really hope/pray he plays amazing next year. Hes a good player.

He did everything but shoot the ball last year. He rebounded, handled the ball and passed well...just never put any attempts up. Also, he didn't really see a dip in minutes when McHale took over...I guess he was injured for a while, but that wasn't McHale's doing. I agree that he definitely needs to score more this year, though. That was probably the most aggravating thing all season. One of the most talented players on the roster not willing to shoot...

Ditto. He was the #1 rebounding guard in the NBA, and his 2-point FG% was in the top 10.

If Miller starts shooting next season I can definitely see him staying longer than 2010. He is a good allround player and if he does not demand a huge amount of money it may be possible that we resign him unless he continues to refuse to shoot 
He's averaging about half the points we would need from him. I really think he should have averaged at least 18-20 pts/g because we had many injuries and he had enough opportunities to shoot the ball which would have helped our team a lot because he is a better shooter than anyone else on our team right now but had only few attempts/g.
