Andre Miller Has No Interest In Returning To Nuggets' Lineup

Andre Miller has no desire to return to the Denver Nuggets.


The Nuggets were attempting to bring Miller back to the team after more than a month in which they were unsuccessful in trading him away.


"The vibe is delusional," the source said. "It's a burned bridge. No reconciliation. He's waiting by the door with his bag already packed. The relationship is irreparable. Under no circumstances does he want to come back to Denver.


"Andre hasn't spoken about the situation. He's being quiet out of goodwill."


Miller has been working out daily at the Nuggets' practice facility, but mostly at night away from the team.


Brian Shaw also has no interest in bringing Miller back.


Miller's camp hopes the Nuggets can still find a suitable trade before the deadline.

This has been mishandled from the start... If the coach and the veteran can't get along, then the veteran can't really provide any substance for the younger players...

Andre Miller is a quality player that can provide a lot of knowledge and leadership to any team, and if Denver doesn't want him to play, then trade him! 29 other teams would gladly take him.

Easily said than done... there are other reasons why he's not traded...

His contract is partially guaranteed next season, which means if he gets traded to a team that wants cap relief, that works.. but if he gets traded to a playoff team .. his services will come handy and his cap relief will be an additional bonus to that team.. Denver just doesn't want to give him away for a bag of peanuts, that's probably what they are getting from the other GMs out there. Maybe they wait till the deadline when some team gets desperate or just let him rot on the bench and try it again at the beginning of next season.. it's not like Miller is helping the team now, they are doing without him and seem to be going ahead in that direction, so if are going to eventually give him up for a bag of peanuts, wait it out..

Would love to do a Grevias Vasquez for Andre miller trade.. but to make things work, how about throw in Amir Johnson for Faried as well... (never will happen, but I think it helps both teams right now).

He is under contract and can just do that. Does the Nuggets has any obligation to pay him?

If what you're saying is true, that's wonderful news for NY! You dump fatty Felton, the Blackhole 2.0, and/or two of the worst contracts in the league. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. NY is gonna have to give up something for this cap relief but it would be worth it if it can free up space. It's a shame NY is so cheap when they shouldn't be

As much as I would like to see the Professor playing in MSG, the matter of fact is Denver is doing poorly on both ends of the floor and have a slim chance of making the Finals this Season. Against this background, Tim Connelly should blow it up and tank hard. Everyone not named Lawson and Faried should be on the block.

Denver Nuggets management are coming to be known as Napolean's Ghost.

Take the territory by storm and burn each bridge as you go. Make as many enemies as you can that once traded or signed elsewhere invite all that heat back on your team.

Why do business with class?

Team was so fortunate to make out like it did post-Melo. Obtained and maintained assets so well.

Then the ones that wanted Melo gone so bad that they had to boo him out of the city don't have a damn thing to say now that the team is falling apart over far pettier things. Brilliant, Denver!
