Ducky, I think TGP meant if he opted out on the 4th year, that means he did because he was actually WORTH 9 mil a year (and could get more)... which means we got a good deal.  He's not saying he thinks Diaw IS that good.

I do agree with Ducky, I'd rather do nothing than get Diaw @ 9 per year.  If we're going to do that, then trade for CV, he's much cheaper.  Still would rather do nothing though, if that's our only option.... Young is a better option at the 4 than either of those two (as much as we'd like him at SF).

BTW, is there a way to embed vids here?

Please, no... those of us who view from work appreciate the links only.

Also... does anyone here think Miller re-signs in Philly? I personally think there's NO chance of that happening.

No.  He's a "West Coast" guy, ya da ya da...

However, where on the West Coast will he go?  Seattle just drafted Westbrook (and will be in Oklahoma), Portland has Blake and Bayless and the Suns have Nash.  The Clippers just signed Davis and the Kings just signed Udrih.   He doesn't fit with what Nelly wants to do in GS (admittedly, he may opt out). 

Maybe the Lakers (to replace Fisher) or back to the Nuggets (even though they won't have much cap room)?

Hey guys, since the discussion over here is a little more civil... 

(1) Do you think the Sixers will wait to move Miller until after AI and LW is resigned, so not to discourage either signing (AI because of how important Miller is to offense and LW so that he still thinks he is the incumbent PG)?  Or is Ed just sold on Miller for next year, even though we know that our chance of resigning him is only ok at best?

(2) There's been some talk on the RealGM board about Mo Williams from Milwaukee.  I know his defense is suspect... but he's a decent 3P% and likes the up-tempo game.  Could a PG platoon of he and LW work (assuming AI plays the 2) offensively and defensively?  Admittedly, that's a lot of $$$ (roughly 14-15 million) at the PG spot for two smaller combo guards.

BTW, a straight Miller for Williams trade would free up an extra $1.5 million on this years cap.
