Cleveland Cavaliers or Miami Heat -Where Will Mike Miller End Up?



February 13 08

My AM Take: The Memphis Grizzlies are having a fire sale. All veterans must go. No offer to low. Sale ends February 21st.

Jokes aside, the Grizzlies are purging their roster of costly veterans. Current ownership wants to sell, so player salaries will continue to be cut to attract potential buyers.

Of course, Damon Stoudamire was recently bought-out. And Pau Gasol was wrapped in a bow and given to the L.A. Lakers for a measly package of picks, prospects, and expiring contracts.

Reports indicate that Cleveland and Miami are angling for Memphis sharpshooter Mike Miller.

The Cavaliers aren’t getting Jason Kidd. They lack the assets to offer New Jersey, so they’ve turned their attention to Miller. His range would punish opposing defenses for double or triple-teaming LeBron James.

Shaq is out. The Matrix is in. And the Heat’s makeover continues. Pat Riley, also known as the oil-slick, likes Miller’s range, but is hesitant about acquiring the remaining two years and 19 million dollars on his contract.

Still, Miami is interested because they must surround Dwyane Wade with more talent before he can use his early opt-out clause.

Either way, Miller will be moved. After all, the deals are fast and furious during Memphis’ fire sale.

miller wont go to the heat unless pat riley plans to move wade back to the 1spot...if he gets traded to either one of these teams, itll be the cavs...but he’s not getting traded .

This is shaping out to be a really exciting year as we move into the 2nd half of the season. The Celtics are clear front runners, the Lakers have are in the tick of it with the Gasol trade, Dallas, Detroit and San Antonio have the talent to go far and The Suns are an interesting dilemma after landing Shaq, I cant wait to see who takes it all this year, my money is on Dallas and LA but their odds keep dropping as you can see in Wagerwe.com NBA Odds , it is going to be really exciting close of the season. .

Cleveland or Miami? Why just them two. They could trade Miller somewhere else where he is needed and the team getting Miller has something good to offer, but not to good that Miller’s new teammates can’t win without. But of them two, the Cavs should trade either Eric Snow, Donyell Marshall, or both .
