Trade Brad Miller

A point was brought up that Brad is just not a postseason type of player. Playoff basketball is intense and some players swim and others drown. After the past few postseasons watching him and Peja, I'm starting to think they just don't have it in them. Both are nice guys and good players. But if you want to win a championship, go with players that are "hungry." If we want go anywhere, (Peja for example) we might need to make another move while Brad's still tradeable. I hope he proves me wrong tomorrow. :o
 
Wonder what Petrie thinks of this cat, has of course been watching the games. Little game through the whole series. One good scoring game, nothing else of note, or nothing at all.

Ok this was the last straw for Brad Miller. He does it once again in this series and in his whole playoff career. 10 ppg and 2 FREAKING REBOUNDS a game. Are you kidding me? My little 12 year old brother can step up on the court and collect more rebounds than this guy.

This guy just like Peja is a complete joke in the playoffs. Yet his supporters come up with excuses such as "he spreads the floor" or he shoots the lights out for a center. Excuse me but i havn't seen any of this in the playoffs.

If he's just gonna avg 15 ppg and 4 apg in the season and play like crap in the playoffs then whats the use of paying and having this overpaid center.

Just incase you don't remember this isn't the first playoff series he has choked. He did this in Seattle by letting Jerome James score 18 ppg and yet people keep refusing to accept the fact that he's just not a player that will help your team go deep in the playoffs....

In all fairness to Brad he did play hurt last year.
I do agree that this team needs a new center. I don't think Brad is tradeable though.
 
So we can get rid of his giant contract for a decent shot blocker rebounding, and maybe afford to sign Bonzi back and get a back up center as well, im down, lets start shopping his sorry but around.
 
Get a new center that can block shots/rebound by using the MLE or by trade and put Brad in the bench or IR.

Brad has a huge contract-I don't see any takers.

1 word.. Amnesty.

he's a useless pathetic fool whose game is only good enough for the regular season. He has no drive at all to perform on a higher stage/level.
 
The ONLY way we should keep him is if we can sign a decent 7footer so that he can be moved to the 4. Another issue needs to be adressed is the PG spot. Our two weakest spots are using the most of our payroll!
 
LOL at trade Brad+Mike for KG. It's just not that simple and the twolves probably wouldn't do that anyways. LOL at amnesty-ing him. LOL at a lot of this stuff. Yeah the guy dissappeared but it doesn't mean he has 0 trade value. He hasn't been the same since he broke the leg it seems like. And FYI I do want to trade him but saying stuff like that is just really extreme. You're going to have to find players that do the stuff that Brad doesn't when you trade him but you've gotta realize those guys will have problems too. Nobody's perfect. Brad is really overpaid so you probably end up taking back another overpaid player. You can't trade him for KG though and amnestying him would just be...
 
I don't think the amnesty clause applies anymore. It was just a one time thing.

While I am not a big supporter of trading (or giving a MAJOR deal to) a guy based of one series, I am no longer TOTALLY opposed to the idea.
 
Ok,enough of this silly amnesty/waiver stuff. That does NOT happen to players of Brad's caliber (or even Kenny's) when they are healthy. Nor is there even an amnesty clause anymore -- it was a one time gift to the owners last summer. It is not even worth talking about., If we want to trade Brad, there will obviously be a market. Maybe a considerable one. Competent centers are rare. He's an asset whetehr its on the court or not.
 
I was just reading an article over on BSPN talking about Kiki Vandeweghe being let go and how George Carl was saying that during the offseason he wants to get a big man who can shoot, so logically I put two and two together and came up with this... Trade Miller for Camby! Pretty much solves both of our teams problems, er, well complaints at least.

Agreed. I'd like to see them both gone but they need to be traded wisely.
 
Well NOBODY is untradeable, from out standpoint or another teams, I still would like to see what happens when there is some sort of offensive scheme with this team. Adelman has even said that they had ZERO time to practice offense. Brad is a system guy. And I would be a little worried if we drop Brad and aren't able to compete with teams that clog the lane.
 
Still the fact does remain, we NEED shotblocking. More than anything else, that is what we need. We won't survive without it. You hear every team talk about the Kings and how they want to attack the paint b/c we have no shotblockers. And they proceed to kick our butt in that department.

I wouldn't mind Camby one dang bit.

I think George wants to acquire a guy like Brad Miller to play center and slide Camby to powerforward. Getting Nene is a real possibility but didn't he just had a surgery to repair one of his tendons?

That would be dumb in my opinion. If anything keep Camby at center and move Brad to the 4. Of course that is just my opinion. Anyway, I would not trade Brad for Nene straight up, no way no how. Brad I think has at least proven that he can play consistantly in the NBA while Nene has not.

Brad will get destroy by the more atheletic and quicker power forwards. Camby can at least hang with them and battle for rebounds while Brad can continue to shoot his little face up jumpers to lure the opposing centers away from the low post.

Of course, I wasn't implying that we trade Brad straight up for Nene because he is unproven but we can get something else from the Nuggets as well like forcing them to take one of our bad contracts (KT) and/or give us a better back up point guard.
 
Ok, Brads "performance" this series was just pathetic.

Im totally on the trade Brad bandwagon as of now.

But I want to know what we could get for him? I mean, who would want him? Or who would want his deal?

Im just bitter, give me a few dasy and Ill settle down a bit.

I doubt you'll settle down as many of us here are really tired of Brad not showing up. He is not athletic which we can live with, he does shoot good for a big man, but it his lack of effort that kills us. He is just going through the motions and guaranteed big bucks, like Peja was doing with us. With Bonzi and Artest playing to the degree they are, Brad's attitude is sticking out as much as a florescent spot light. We are not the same Kings we were with our spot up shooting and great passing....we are now a hard nosed defensive team and team that goes in their and beats you up....look at how Bonzi just goes up and gets his a rebound and battles TD and the other 7 footers on the Spurs for the ball and many times came up with it....that was pure effort and a never say die attitude being his contract year or not....he earns his $ as does Ron in a big way. We can live with Bibby's lack of defense with a big C back there to play goalie, Bibby actually was trying and did o.k. against Parker who is hard to guard with his quickness. We can even cover up a lot of Brad's weaknesses if we do keep him if he is alongside a dominant Center. Then I'd be for trying Brad at PF and SAR backing up Brad off the bench or the other way around....probably the other way around from what I saw in the Spurs series.
 
When we first got Brad the thing we were most impressed with was how hard he played. He would dive to the floor for every loose ball.

That Brad is gone. It sure looks like he's pulling a Peja/Vince Carter. I am all for trading Brad if we can get real value in return.
