Blazers notebook: Andre Miller was Nate McMillan's target
Posted by Jason Quick, The Oregonian July 26, 2009 15:28PM
Making McMillan happy
As everybody knows, Andre Miller was not the Blazers first choice in the free
agent market. But from Day 1 of the offseason, he was the No. 1 choice of
coach Nate McMillan.
"Our coach is very happy,'' general manager Kevin Pritchard said.
McMillan said he felt an instant connection with the free agent point guard.
"I felt like I kind of knew him already,'' McMillan said. "Because in a
sense, we were similar as players, as far as not being great scorers or
shooters, but we made our teams better because of our feel for the game and
our I.Q.''
Miller's savvy and basketball IQ are what sold the Blazers on giving him the
keys to one of the most efficient offenses in the NBA. It's not that the
Blazers were lacking intelligence from starter Steve Blake - Blake is always
among the NBA's leaders in assist-to-turnover ratio. But now, the Blazers
imagine they will have one of the headiest point guard tandems in the league.
"We wanted to raise our I.Q., and we do with this,'' McMillan said. "He just
has a feel for the game. He will be a guy who will know the sets, put players
in their spots.''
That's not to say that McMillan is, or was, unhappy with Blake. In fact,
throughout the whole free agent process with Miller, I had several
conversations with Andy Miller, Andre's agent. The agent marveled at how much
the Blazers organization valued Blake.
Although it is true the Blazers explored trades this summer - the latest a
sign-and-trade with David Lee and New York - they never pulled the trigger.
Sometimes, as in the case of New York, it was the other team turning away.
But most times, it was the Blazers rejecting the deal. It's why I believe
Pritchard and McMillan when they say they want to keep last year's roster
intact as much as possible. They have been saying it since last February when
Pritchard went against his instincts and held firm at the trading deadline.
For how much people like to talk about Pritchard being a wheeler-and-dealer,
he has probably sat on his hands more than he has pulled the trigger, and a
big reason is because he admits he has become emotionally attached to the
core of this team. He believes in the players he has brought here.
"The thing is, with every trade you have to send out a player,'' Pritchard
said. "We wanted to keep this 54-win team together and add to it. And with
Andre, we have added experience.''
For McMillan, who has pleaded for experience since he arrived in Portland
four summers ago, the Miller signing was made even better because it didn't
involve sign-and-trade scenarios that were discussed with New York.
"The big thing is that we were able to raise our basketball IQ without giving
up guys,'' McMillan said. "It's almost like we got Miller for Sergio
(Rodriguez). And now, this is an opportunity for Bayless to be tutored by
(Miller).''
當Nate跟Hedo共進晚餐的時候
Nate:Hedo啊，我聽說KP自己排了一份FA的Rank，你在他名單的第一名，可是我
名單的第一名是Miller。你看暴龍錢比較多，你要不要考慮看看暴龍。
