Portland finally made a significant and succsessful move this offseason. They signed PG Andre Miller to a 3 yr deal worth 21mil. Philly offered him a 1 yr deal for 6mil, but Miller did not like that very much at all. He joins a young Portland team that was one of the youngest in the league last year. Miller is 33 entering his 11th year and he has only missed 5 games in that entire time. Andre will fit in great with the young Trailblazers he will serve as the true starting PG they have needed this whole time while they have become a contending team in the West.
Miller spent his first 3 yrs in the league with Cleveland then returned to his hometown of LA to play with the Clippers for a year (in my opinion he messedd them up as they where finally beginning to become good). Then he was off to Denver where for 3 1/2seasons he was very productive. He came in the same year they drafted Carmelo Anthony and was great for the uptempo run&gun team. There he became known as the best alley-hoop passer in the league, & I feel he got his career back on track or at least earned my respect. After 23games into the 07 season he was traded to Philly for Allen Iverson where he excelled even more possibly becoming the most underrated & underappreciated PG in the league crossing over into dare I say top10 PG in the league status.
For his career he avgs 14.6pts 7.4ast 1.4stl & 4.2reb in 34.9mpg shooting 46% from the field & 80.2% from the line. Hes only a 21% 3pt shooter but coming off a career high 28.3% shooting season.
Signing out DaKING, Jody-Jo.....YEZZIR!!! BALEE-DAT
