The Portland Trail Blazers have offered point guard Andre Miller a three-year
contract after failing in their efforts to acquire New York Knicks restricted
free agent David Lee, sources close to the process said Friday.

Miller's contract would be worth $21 million, with $14 million guaranteed and
$7 million included as a third-year team option, a source said.

Miller's agent, Andy Miller, confirmed his client will be signing a multiyear
deal with the Blazers as early as Friday but declined to offer details, ESPN
Radio 1080 in Portland has reported.

Miller, an unrestricted free agent, had been balking at signing a one-year
offer from the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Blazers were one of only two teams
with the money to give him more than the mid-level exception.

he Blazers have been looking for a veteran point guard for the past couple of
seasons and have flirted with everyone from Jason Kidd to Kirk Hinrich.

With Miller, the Blazers would get a savvy veteran who excels as a physical,
post-up guard.

Before they committed to Miller, the Blazers made a strong push for Lee, a
power forward. On Tuesday night, Blazers coach Nate McMillan and front-office
executives Kevin Pritchard and Tom Penn had dinner with Lee in Las Vegas to
make their recruiting pitch.

One source said the Blazers offered Lee a variety of options, including an
opt-out clause that would have made him an unrestricted free agent in the
summer of 2011.

But the Knicks and Portland could not agree in discussions Thursday on any
kind of a sign-and-trade deal, and the Blazers did not want to risk losing
Miller over the seven-day waiting period had they chosen to use their cap
space to tender an offer sheet to Lee, which New York would have had the
right to match.

Lee, attending Team USA's mini-camp in Las Vegas, confirmed the Tuesday night
recruiting meeting and said he was intrigued by the possibility of playing
for Portland, although he never thought a deal was close.

"At this point it's going to come down to sign-and-trades vs. trying to get
something worked out with New York," Lee told ESPN.com. "Sign and trades,
with base-year and compensation and all that stuff, can get complicated. But
I think there's enough teams out there that we've had contact with that are
excited about trying to get something done that it's a possibility we can do
it."
