At least he's better than Lamond Murray.

I'm happy with Kapono, thanks. I'd honestly give up all hopes for the Raps if we lost a draft pick to add someone like Mike Miller. Dude is talented, but to give up a chance at Ibaka/Rush for him? No thank you.

Big time respect for that comment you can see the future miller does nothing to get us where we really want to be. Let the nets rebuild with carter,rj and miller looks like they may want to run with the knick's :rofl:

The Nets can have him, they will still suck the next three years

You'd think that if they were to move Miller for expirings, Orlando would be amore interesting option, since they'd at least be willing to throw in JJ Reddick with those expiring contracts.

NJ will probably throw in one of those Dallas picks that they are about to get. Even if they end upin the 23-26 range, that could be better value than reddick at this point...

Agreed. Then again, Otis Smith might be turned off by the fact that he has to wait a few years before he can give Miller a ridiculous contract.

"Wait, so you mean the Magic are the team in best position to acquire this player? ****, we better give them two unprotected firsts and the rights to Vasquez as well!"

This is purely a Financial Move, and has no correlation with being a Basketball Move

If New Jersey does go through with this trade, I think they're just getting ready to trade away Vince... possibly to the Pacers for Jermaine O'Neal.

If all the current big-news trade rumors going around all pan out... the potential Jersey lineup by the trade deadline:

Boone/Diop/Krstic
O'Neal
Jefferson
Miller
Harris

... not too shabby. I think it'd be better than what they have now.
