In regards to the Andre Miller Deal
If there is any real truth of turning Thornton into Andre Miller, then here's another wrinkle.
In my quest to secure Rondo my current proposal has us sending IT/Thornton/JT/DWill + picks to Boston for Rondo, Wallace, & (Pressey or Brooks).
Well since Andre Miller's contract isn't guaranteed for next year, you could actually utilize that to your advantage in making a deal for Rondo.
Basically we'd send Thornton over to the Nuggets.
The Nuggets would send Miller & Foye over to Boston and the rest of the deal would go as advertised. It could help in the Boston deal because if they don't actually see Thornton as an asset then they could just cut Miller and it would save them salary as they'd only be dealing with Foye's 3m contract instead of Thornton's 8m contract.
Just a thought.
