Ron was like a characterature of somebody celebrating winning a championship.

Read on RotoWorld that the lakers offered Mike Miller 5 years/30 mil (FULL MLE) solid pick up if its true, dude shot 45% from 3 last year! Please cut Puke Walton now!!

this team will be something else if miller signs and bynum returns healthy f**k lebron, wade and bosh on the same team, their bench would be garbage. lakers will beat that team in a 7 gm series

Pete, what do you think about the Lakers offering 5 mil to Mike Miller?

s**t Puke Walton is making the same, and he sucks Miller is Jordan compared to puke for the same money.

Im glad we offered him that ... if nothing else it shows we are wiling to spend yhe entire MLE which I didnt think would be the case.

Mike Miller is a beast. He's worth way more than the MLE. Great move by the Lakers if he signs.

I'm not sure what to make of it, man. Total curveball. He's interesting because provides a skill set that we were lacking (outside shooting, good passer off the bench), but it's at a position that we're strong at. (SG/SF) So it begs a couple of questions if he signs.

-Is this a pre-cursor to another trade? Is Buss gonna add even MORE payroll?

-Does this mean that we have a cheap, backup PG lined up that will sign for the vet's minimum? Earl Watson...or just Javaris Crittenton. Does it mean that Sasha's gonna be our backup PG?

-Apparently Luke's back is pretty jacked up. Does this mean that there may be a medically-induced retirement in his future? It would explain Buss' sudden willingness to spend here.


I like Miller's game, and think he fits our offense, but where does he play?
