Fire sale in Memphis (Mike Miller/JC Navarro?)

[Kosta]

Do you guys think we can come up with a deal for Miller? If Gasol can be had on the cheap like that, I wonder if he's the next to get shipped out. Definitely something Colangelo should look into.

Edit: Merged Mike Miller and JC Navarro threads into one.

[RaptorKenny]

how about
Juan Dixon/Graham for Navarro

[Ill Mago]

i was just about to start this thread after reading your firesale post. hahaha.

except, i was gonna name it MEMPHIS FIRE SALE: MIKE MILLER, GET IT ON BC!

[Schad]

We lack expiring contracts, so it would need to be a three-way trade. Although Dixon+Bargnani might be enough additional savings (about $4m) to give them a shot at a max player...

[raps4life~]

Mike Miller would be sweet. A three points shooter, gets rebounds, shoots 50% from the field.

[Kosta]

What Miller is being paid the next 3 seasons, including this one.

$8,250,000

$9,000,000

$9,750,000

They just traded Gasol for a project point and two late 1st's, not so sure they'd ask for Bargnani in a Miller deal, at least I hope not...

I don't know that I would do it, either, just spitballing. Parker + Dixon also works, I believe (saves them $4.5m next season) and I'd be willing to swap our 1st rounder for their extremely high 2nd to get it done.

dixon+kapono would work

I know most people would say MEM scoffs at Kapono, but he is a serviceable player on an MLE contract.


edit: obviously, we'd have to throw in a future first to get that done. say 2010

[Shaazzam]

So they now have three PG prospects? Smart. If they can develop them at all those are real nice assets to have.

[Geddy]

I just don't see Miller bringing a big improvement to this team.

He has 3 years left after this one, Memphis wants to save money not take on more of it.

Man, only if Rasho's damn contract was expiring this year, we could have made a freaking run at Gasol if anything...

please elaborate

At this juncture, Critt is probably better suited to play off guard anyway...he's 6'4-5", and rangy enough to guard SGs.

[TJ Calderon]

Since they like point guards. Why not Dmart for Miller

[AB_21]

They have so many young PG (Navaro,Conley, Lowry and Crittenton).

[Kosta]

Me thinks Lowry is the odd man out.

[cdel00]

Miller for Delfino, Dixon And Humphries works in the trade checker

[Uros Slowcar]

I think we should try to do better than Mike Miller.

Again, though, this is a perfect example of why we are in excellent shape next season...$17 million in expiring deals, and all of our draft picks. Plus, the '09 free agent market is five times as intriguing...I'd almost be surprised if we couldn't find a taker.
