The fact that people are even trying to defend Brad Millers defense (or lack there of) is hiliarious. Brad will be 30 this year, and only seems to be getting worse with age, instead of better. Instead of 27-32 being his prime years, he peaked at 28, and has gone down immensely since his leg injury. But how about we talk about Brad Miller the person, not just about Brad Miller the player. When some players are working on their games, working out getting stronger, adding new moves, or improving athleticisim, Brad is in Indiana riding quads, hunting, drinking lots of beer, and lifting 5lb dumbells bc as he said(I like definition over bulk). I am sorry when you are the 2nd highest paid player on the team, and you make no concentrated effort to get better what so ever, that shows me you are not dedicated and committed to being a good basketball player, and rather just rest on being a slow as molasses 7footer. I see kevin, Artest, Garcia, and countless other players in the NBA who care about improving, and not being lazy, but not brad. He averaged a career high in minutes 37.0, and lowest rebounding average 7.8 since 00-01' when he averaged 7.4 but in only 25.2 minutes a game. He also averaged under 2 offensive rebounds per game 1.5, when he was over 2.0 in every other season b4 this past one.
So wow he averages 4.7assts a game, guess what people we don't need a point center. The princeton offense where Brad was suited for is gone, and as a result Brad no longer fits what we are trying to do. Since you all claim he is a top 10 center, and since centers are so hard to come by, and I am more than sure that we could get comparable talent. What does Brad do when people get in the lane? He sits there and just puts two hands up, which doesn't intimdate anybody, nor did it stop the Spurs and every other team we played from doing layup drills. I watched every game last seasons, and in seasons past, so I know what I see in Brads deteriation as a player.
