It's pretty simple, really. Miller will be the starter. Blake will get 15 minutes off the bench to spell Miller and when the Blazers need more outside shooting. This offseason is pretty boring, considering this is one of the more 'interesting' stories.

Philly lost to Detroit in the first round two years ago and hasn't been to the second round since 2003.

Both guys are very efficent and both produce. However, it seems like it would be foolish of the Blazers to spend all that money on Miller to not start him. If you include Bayless into this mix it would seem as though Steve Blake would have solid trade value. Both guys are solid and worthy of the job while Bayless waits in the wings. It just seems pointless to spend 21 mil on a guy then not start him. I’m not sure how to look at this situation. Both guys are very efficent and both produce.

They won't be able hold off Bayless for long. I see Steve Blake being slowly “phased out” as the season goes on. They won’t be able hold off Bayless for long.
