    He doesn't have to play 30 plus minutes, he could start and play only 20. He started in the playoffs for the world champions but he couldn't start for the Cavs? My whole point of him starting would be so he could be on the floor with Kyrie and Dion to give them a knock down shooter and floor spacer, which they need desperately.

    Just stop

    When you follow players in the league, you don't know shit about teams. Stop pretending like you know what the Cavs "desperately" need.

    Well I know they are going to need some shooting, seems like it would be a good fit to me. Sorry for voicing an opinion.

    These were the top ten lineup combinations by minutes played in the playoffs. There's a reason he's only in two of them.


    1 C. Bosh--M. Chalmers--U. Haslem--L. James--D. Wade 276:58 +7.1
    2 R. Allen--C. Andersen--S. Battier--N. Cole--L. James 85:53 +22.2
    3 C. Bosh--M. Chalmers--L. James--M. Miller--D. Wade 72:50 -4.4
    4 R. Allen--C. Bosh--M. Chalmers--L. James--D. Wade 70:37 -7.5
    5 R. Allen--C. Andersen--S. Battier--N. Cole--D. Wade 39:38 +38.0
    6 R. Allen--C. Bosh--N. Cole--L. James--D. Wade 33:53 -4.7
    7 S. Battier--C. Bosh--M. Chalmers--L. James--D. Wade 33:10 -17.8
    8 R. Allen--C. Andersen--N. Cole--L. James--M. Miller 28:09 +7.6
    9 S. Battier--C. Bosh--N. Cole--L. James--D. Wade 27:51 +18.6
    10 R. Allen--S. Battier--C. Bosh--M. Chalmers--L. James 27:47 +18.9

    Bynum is going to be our 3 pt shooter spacing the floor.

    I love how Mike Miller played on a team of Lebron James, D Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, etc. and all of a sudden he's a "contributor on a championship team that can help any team that needs shooting" haha

    Rob's a Miami "fan" so I'm not shocked that he loves an ex heat player. Miller was great in their last championship run, but the guy can't defend at all and has back issues. No fucking thanks. We don't need another Wally Z.
  • Commander of Awesome
    I hope we get some more Bynum pwns on Centers in the league like this one:

    I wish the Raps didnt trade Bargani so we could see Bynum pwn the shit out of him in the paint.
  • robj55
    Miller shot 42% from 3 last year and is over 40% for his career. He is also one of the best rebounding guards in the league, he actually led the NBA in rebounding for guards when he played the 2 in Memphis. He is not a poor defender, I would say he is average in that respect. His back issues were two seasons ago. I think that would be a good fit, start him with Kyrie and Dion and that opens the floor up for them to do their thing. Again, you only have to play him 20 minutes or so but you want him out there with Kyrie and Dion, he has huge championship experience and has been a proven clutch shoot, hitting big shot after big shot. I think that is something that would fit perfectly for the Cavs.

    Haha I love how shaw just forearms him

    I don't think he's consistent enough at anything good to be a key contributor for any team. Seems that every once in a while, you hear about him having a real good game where he's draining 3s like crazy and offensively carrying the Heat for a while. And then he turns invisible for a week or three. I think he's a good role player/extra piece for a team like the Heat, who just needs guys like that to fill in around the big names; but for a team like the Cavs, who are a younger, work-in-process team, I can't see him being what they want/need.

    Miller rebounded really well in college as well, however I disagree with rob on defense. He sucks. Also he still has back issues, he's weighing getting back surgery this offseason, not a good sign.

    And above all, he doesn't want to come to Cleveland.

    He just cleared waivers so we'll see where he ends up.

    my grandpa who has had 30320 back surgeries has a better back than Miller.

    Dont/Never bought that the Cavs are really interested anyways. Who started this rumor?

    Also saw something today about fucking ESPN starting drama about Kyrie wanting to leave.

    Some guy said he heard from "someone in the know" that Kyrie wasn't going to be in Cleveland for the long haul.

    Kyrie responded saying he would also like to know "someone in the know" for all his facts. Rumors are rumors.

    Between this, his comments to Spike Lee and his recruitment of Andrew Bynum he's done more than LBJ ever did to show he wants to be here for a long time.

    Spike was saying something to him about coming to the Knicks and Kyrie replied "Cleveland is Home".

    Edit: Found what Kyrie said back to him.
