#1, Does Atlanta's acquisition of Bibby put pressure on Easy Ed to make am move?
#2, Regarding Miller's value vs. Bibby's value
.
1) Ed doesnt get anymore pressure. Bibby was mostly a salary dump, making much more $$$$, with a team that already views itself w its "star" (kevin Martin)
Miller has 1 more year, less $$$$ and is helping the development of this current team who is still searching for its star.....
2) value wise: as they say it only takes ONE gm. The major difference with the two players is that Bibby has a proven record in the playoffs, and more importantly is a better (some would say MUCH MUCH better) outside shooter which is what Atlanta needed
you can bring up injuries, and they're kinda valid, but what Miller is doing this year, Atlanta already has players who do all that-- Joe Johnson controls much of the ball and is the dribble penetrator
I also stress, that before Miller got here a lot of people, with his unflashy ways, dont understand all that he does just to help a team win. He is soo good, but what he does isnt measured on highlights etc.... even Mr Ed himself, the scout and rival GM 90 miles away who saw us w Miller several times, said HE didnt know just how good MIller was/is.....
how many of us were saying, "WOW, we got andre Miller forIverson Im sooo excited!! (lol)"
so Miller's value is a game in game out, month by month value where Bibby showed at Arizona's nat'l title run as a Frosh, and then many many times w Sac how clutch and big a performer he is/was.....
