My point was that Miller is a great rebounder for a SG/SF position player. I hope you can agree with that. At what rate he would rebound in our team we would know only after you give him a chance. Most likely he would rebound less but that does not make him less valuable player.
No, I'm not suggesting that he isn't a good rebounder for a SG/SF.
It's just that sometimes people do try to just transfer numbers across teams like that, without taking into account that he doesn't play with good rebounders while here he would be playing with the best.
Secondly, was just to point out that Stan's comments about rebounding from the SG position are likely the result of not having a true PF, and that if we had a true power forward, that the need for rebounding from the SG position is not near as pressing of a need.
While we can discuss what position player is more important for the Magic right now we can only agree that Miller is available and he would improve the team. I would be delighted if Haslem would be let go by Miami but no way Miami would help us improve. Zaza, well there is a reason he's not playing. To me Zaza played well when he gets to touch the ball every time otherwise he would disapear and that's exactly what happened to him this year. Also, I don't think aquiring Miller could prevent us from go after Zaza if you prefer him.
It's not that I think Miller is bad, or that he wouldn't help or anything like that. I'm a fan of Mike Miller.
I just think that making a move for Miller would be a bit redundant.
He won't come free so we'd have to give up assets to get him. I personally think these assets could be better spent looking for a player who actually fills a need for us rather than another sharp-shooting swingman.
HA!! just kidding, when I talk about a power forward, I'm not necessarily talking a starter. I just think this team would do a lot better to have someone to enforce the paint with Dwight, a mean cuss kind of like Oakley was. I don't necessarily think a shooting guard upgrade is necessary right now, as we're playing well and Mo and Bogans seem to be working in there roles.
