Trade for Brad Miller

[ThreadCrasher]

This team needs a backup center, they need a big man that can spread the floor with a jumpshot, they need more offense on the second unit.  Brad Miller does all these things.  He is under contract this year and next.

The assumption in this trade is that Sac-Town is looking mostly for salary relief. A buyout with House returning (ala Brent Barry and McDyess) is agreeable to all. It also assume that a wing player will become available before playoffs to come of the bench.

TA, House, Scal w/ one of Powe and BBD and one of Giddens, POB, Pruitt. (+ cash for House's contract if necessary)
for
Brad Miller (and Bobby Brown if Pruitt goes).

Sac-Town cuts Quincy Douby and Eddie House.

After House is bought out, he waits his 30 days and returns to the C's.


Rondo  Pruitt/House  Cassell  Brown
Allen  House   Pruitt  Giddens
Pierce  FA Wing Giddens Walker 
Garnett  Powe/BBD  BBD/POB
Perkins  Miller  BBD/POB

I guess this is doable, but Brad miller is not going to be that easy..he starts for Sac and is putting up impressive numbers

the only thing i see this as similar to is cassell from clippers, but i dont think sac has any intentions to dump him

Don't they have to pay House's player option for next year if they cut him? I would keep Miller and his contract over paying 2 years of TA, House, and Scal, and 1 year of Powe/BBD and being forced to flat out cut a guy or two. There must be a better deal out there for Miller.

I also don't see how we can trade TA without first picking up another swing man.

I would gladly take Miller. I just don't see us getting him by trading guys who also have 2-year deals.

I like the trade provided House does come back to us.  I think he is still a great fit provided we get Marbury or another point to run the show, while he plays the specialist role. 

Also, I don't think we need to sign another guard to replace Tony.  I'd rather just promote Giddens.  He can't do any worse than Tony, who makes tons of rookie mistakes himself.
