Deal is done... Miller's a Clipper!
Is the deal done? FoxSports says yes.

For the second consecutive summer, the L.A. Clippers have turned potential into an investment yielding one of the best young players at his position in the NBA.
Last year’s acquisition was power forward Elton Brand.
This year’s trade brings point guard Andre Miller in a four-player transaction that sends serial crowd-pleaser Darius Miles to Cleveland.
The deal -- which includes scenery shifts for Cavs guard Bryant Stith and Clips forward Harold Jamison -- was confirmed Monday by a league source close to both teams.

If it is done, what do you think? As an outsider, I think it is a great deal for LA.

The clippers were fun to watch last year, Miles being one of the reasons. It's too bad he had to go, but the Miller pickup is great for the Clips. They should make the playoffs this year.

Yeah, I think the team needs Miller much more than it needs Miles.

I think the trade is good for both teams. The clips get a top 5 point guard and the cavs will get the seats filled because of Miles. Miles will get to become a starter, which is what he wanted.

I just hate to see the Clippers lose Darius Miles.

Is this TRUE or are we expected to see Donald Duck pull another stunt .
Is the trade - Dre for D offcial???
Anyways, It's been said, that the deal is done from some talk radio, I won't believe it, till I see it on the papers tomorrow or anytime later. If it does go down....I think this is great for the Clipps!!! and the city of LA, Believe me Darius is the crowd favorite, everyone loved him, and I think he's the big reason why the Clipps set that record for the most sell out games at the staples center last year, They had more fans attend their games, than the Lakers......Believe me it was much more exciting watching the young Clipps Run-&-Bang all game.
Dre is a true floor leader that the clipps need Badly, he'll feed everyone from El & Kandi on the low posts to Q & Maggette on the wings/perimeter. He's a running type of guard, and thats the Clippers style. Let's not forget Odom as their SF & maybe Jaric as a true back-up at Point.
Darius will bring a defensive presence as a SF....
We all know the high flyer he is, but if he gets his mid-jumper down, watch out!!! He'll be paired up with D.Waggs as Clevelend's High wire act. It has also been metioned that D.Miles has bulked up and improved his outside game this summer soo far.
The trade would benefit both teams.....
But I think the Clipps would get away with one here, in comparison to the original proposal of the 2 draft picks plus Odom for Dre back on draft night, it's more of a straight up deal now. Cleveland never saw a decent offer from other teams thus far.
The biggest question is??
What will happen with the 2 draft picks - Wilcox & Ely.
Both are considered PF's?
I heard that Ely will be Kandi's back-up?
Or how about K.Dooling?? will he be used as a SG now??
when he's a natural Point.
Wha cha guys think??......
again assuming if this trade goes down???

Wilcox will see some time at Sf in addition to PF and Ely will get most of his minutes at center, Jaric I think will be traded to Denver for 2 1st picks and a filler. Dooling is great without the ball and Maggette gets the biggest advantage..he should start at SG.

I'm really sad to see Miles go...but getting a good point guard like Andre sure is nice.
I knew one of the young players had to go, also, so I can't say that I am shocked.

Wow... this is incredible. Great deal for the Clippers. With Odom 100% they're a lock for the playoffs IMO. Great chemistry and now 3 players who are All Stars/borderline All Stars, to go along with the great depth they already have at the 2, 3 and 4 positions.
LA has just achieved in a much simpler way what Orlando has been trying to do for almost 6 years now via draft and free agency, and more.

I like the deal for the Clips, but I think Cleveland is trying to be bad and exciting so they can get James next year. Sad to think what Q and Miles are gonna do without each other.  |
