Sounds like a cool guy. Were Morey and he alluding to him liking the strip joints in Texas or what was that?

 

sounded more like hunting

 

LOL at Brad making fun of Bosh and LeBrick.

" Unlike LeBron, I'm not gonna announce my decision on television"

"Where's my Ipad? My fiance wants an Ipad! "

 

Miller on 610:

Seems like a cool guy, surprised that one of the reporters mentioned that he was a "dirty player" because I never thought of him as a dirty player, and I'm very liberal in classifying players as "dirty."

 

That was Adam Wexler

BTW, Brad Miller 1-on-1 with Jason Friedman(Not sure if already posted?)

Cool. Hayesfan, Brad's got high praise for your guy. Just to let you know.

 

Yeah, he's a big hunter

Miller is serviceable- not as good defensively as Chuck Hayes but a decent offensive threat for minutes at this stage of his career.

Not was Daryl Morey really preferred- quoting Morey "And we'd like to potentially add a big if we can get it done. A rim-protecting one would be preferred."

Brad in his prime was an OK rebounder but he never was a rim-protecting big and right now he would not put fear in many teams as far as being a shot blocker or shot changer in the paint.

 

From Feigen's latest article:

[rquoter]
Landing Miller, 34, was not as easy as picking up a dinner check. Several teams, including the Bulls, either offered full mid-level exception money (starting at $5.765 million) for three seasons or were expected to offer that much.

Miller instead took a three-year Rockets offer that is worth, according to a person with knowledge of the deal, $4.4 million in 2010-11, $4.752 million in 2011-12 and $5.104 million in 2012-13, with $848,000 guaranteed in the final season.
[/rquoter]

Not as steep as originally reported. And if other teams really offered him more, it looks like the Rockets got a good deal relatively speaking.

 

I have a feeling this signing will be a blessing in disquise. When J.Noah misses him, it really says a lot about B.Miller. I believe he will bring unity and fun to the Rockets, importantly a player who cares more about winning than personal goals. A blue-collar team that fits the profile of Houston much better than the Three Amigos. I love Rockets, glad they didn't turn gangsta like those South Beach Heat.

 

he definitely looks thinner
