If Portland is targeting somebody they may bite but only if Jennings and Lawson are gone. I think a Blake/Collison tandem as our p.g.!s next year would work.

Sac. is attempting to get 15 from Det. according  to Draftexpress with their 2 picks. Maynor may still be there at 23 and getting him and Ellington would be a good night. Worst case [Douglas,Collison] and Ellington and get a vet. p.g. If Lawson and Jennings are off the board I would inquire about Sac.!s 23 and 31 for our 17 pick.

As Herrmann can swing between the 3 and 4 positions...not exactly an enormous need there since we have Thad, Brand, and Speights already.  But as a 13th or 14th man, you couldn't ask for a much better talent at $1 million per.  I was always very surprised Charlotte gave him up so easily, and unfortunately, Walter was always buried on Detroit's bench amongst a plethora of forwards ('Sheed, McDyess, Maxiel, A. Johnson, and last year Kwame Brown) and never really got the 15 mpg he deserved.

If we can compete for a championship in the next 3-4 years than we resign Miller.  If not (as sad as it is) we will have to let him walk. laptop, I like that situation as well.  I think Miller was a great player for us and probably was the most underrated point guard in the Conference last year.  If he doesn’t resign I (and I’m sure most of you will) will miss him greatly.  But it all depends on how competitive the Sixers will be with a healthy EB, Thad and Dala in their primes, and hopefully a Center who isn’t a moron.

When he was off his game we usually lost. He was a real asset. You can say his defense is not great,but most  players have faults. He knows the players on this team, he knows how to get players involved. He knows what make these players tick. He has chemistry with this team. I believe adding a new coach, adding Kapono, drafting a perimiter shooter and a tough defensive player plus picking up say, Parker.  I would like to see Miller back with this improved team and a young point guard to learn from him. If not I feel we will have a much bigger learning curve, the ride will be bumpyer. I just can”t stop thinking  how well we played last year with Miller at point guard many many nights.
