I think it’s the right move. Steve Blake is a much better fit in that starting lineup because of his shooting ability, which I believe allows Roy to be more effective as a scorer/playmaker. While Miller is the better player, I think he’d be a lot less effective in that Blazers starting unit than he has been in the past, and less effective than Blake.

Likewise, Miller can be on the ball more often and be more involved offensively when he’s playing alongside the bench players.

I think it makes the best use of both players talents.

That 2nd unit is sick. As a Jazz fan, I can only hope there are chemistry issues with that team. Otherwise Portland will be a force.

Portland is probably the deepest team in the league.

Nate does know exactly what his doing, and soon enough when we’re winning Andre will follow as well. A point guard to a point guard. He wants a championship then he will understand what sacrifices it takes to win it all.

Dre Miller will be just another starter in sheep’s clothing.

Like what they do with Manu in SA, JR Smith with the Nuggets and the Knicks’ David Lee last year.

Anyone talking crap about Miller should have seen the show he put on last night. I think this is the right team, and he’s the right guy to lead them.

@ markwu
lets wait until miller’s time in portland pans out to judge him, not one game into his first preseason with them

i think miller should suck it up and come off the bench
if he cant accept his role shrinking or changing for a chance at a championship he’s no better than a.i. whining about having to be a sixth man

I don’t think some of you have seen Bayless play outside of summer league. He is so far away from being a point guard he makes Tyreke Evans look like he has been playing the position for years.

And I still don’t understand this signing completely, Miller CAN’T shoot. Miller’s sole purpose is to make the game easier for Oden
