I just wanted to address thisAndre Miller情况和其他人购买ESPN's theory(see box 7, scroll down) that we only signed Andre to turn our cap space into a trade-able asset.

That's just a darned shame. Sometimes you just don't know what you've got 'till it's gone. This guy could absolutely help lead our team deep into the playoffsthis season. He's one of the best point guards in the league and if we, as a community and fans, can't have some patience and we try to run this guy out of town - shame on us. Also, if our organization and our star player can't figure out how to utilize this guy effectively then we have much bigger problems on our hands.

We've played five games. It can definitely be your opinion that Miller is not working out, but there's no way anyone can tell mefive gamesinto the regular season that it's true. Of all people John Canzano provides some food for thoughthere. And here's acommentI posted on another thread yesterday that might help the doubters reconsider (with photos provided by92wastheyear).

This can work. It should work. And as fans of this team we should all be pulling for it to work, in my humble opinion. I love Steve Blake. Steve Blake isexactlywho you want relieving your starting point guard in a clutch playoff situation. It's time to start Miller. It's time for us to let this team develop chemistry on the court and give them a reasonable amount of time to do so. It's time for us to have a little more faith in our team.

GO BLAZERS!
