J.A. Adande, ESPN.com: If the Trail Blazers want to accelerate their arrival date, upgrade the point position and get a little more experience in Portland, why not make a play for another "1" who could be available: Andre Miller. It could cost a little less than the proposal being bandied about Wednesday.
How about Channing Frye, Steve Blake and Travis Outlaw to Philadelphia for Miller? The Blazers get a point guard with slightly better stats than Devin Harris, the player they would get from the Dallas Mavericks in the proposed three-team deal with New Jersey. The Sixers get three good young players to get their rebuilding process under way.
Brian Windhorst, Akron Beacon Journal: Cavs GM Danny Ferry has proven to be two things: conservative and determined to win his deals, be they trades or player signings. While the fan base in Cleveland badly wants a major deal to get a point guard like Mike Bibby, Jason Kidd, or Andre Miller, because of the Cavs' lack of assets, a smaller deal is more likely.
Picking up another shooter or a big man for depth with Anderson Varejao down with injury with the expiring contracts of Ira Newble and Shannon Brown is realistic.
Two years ago a Mike Wilks-for-Flip Murray swap ended up being a positive injection for the team. The Cavs have been calling around the league for weeks just to see who might become available by Feb. 21.

The only reason why I don't like the portland trade is because we get no expirings what so ever, and that really doesn't help but I do like Frye a lot as our PF. We don't need Blake or Outlaw.
