Mike Miller Off the Table?
Per Jeff Goodman of Fox Sports:
Mike Miller has been offered a five-year, $30M contract by the Lakers.
Miller expects to be recruited by LeBron James and Dwyane Wade wherever they end up.
The Lakers have set a deadline of tonight to accept their offer.
Is Mike Miller off the table? If the deadline is true, by the time most of you read this we will already know.
I say the offer is rejected, based on pure emotion as much as anything else. This would be bad news for the Heat. South Floridians have grand visions of a Dwyane Wade, Lebron James and Chris Bosh trio calling Miami home for the next half decade. But it would be foolish not to prepare for an alternate reality. And Mike Miller stands as the second best available small forward in the 2010 free agent class (according to this fine evaluator of talent).
Huh? LA is WAY over the cap. Is this their MLE that they are starting with? The Lakers will be hosed if Fisher goes somewhere else. They are gonna lose Farmar. Who are they gonna get to run the point? Are they gonna move Sasha over to the 1? Another tall point guard? I dunno. This is a weird move if Fisher says bye-bye.
But back to Fisher. He could check out FA and see what is out there. LA could then offer him more money total, but over time and he could ride out the end of his career off the bench. Dunno, this looks very weird considering they have Ron Artest.
