Miller to take three-year offer from Blazers

LAS VEGAS – Andre Miller(notes) will accept a three-year, $22 million offer to sign with the Portland Trail Blazers, a source close to the free-agent guard said on Friday.

The first two seasons of the contract are guaranteed while the third year is a team option.

Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard cautioned that “nothing is done yet.” But a source close to Miller said he has decided to take the offer and will sign with the Blazers.

Miller will give the Trail Blazers a veteran point guard to help steady their young roster.

“He’s got great savvy and leadership,” Pritchard said from Team USA’s practice on Friday. “We like him as a player for sure.”

The Blazers had struck out in their first two attempts to sign free agents this summer. Hedo Turkoglu(notes) was close to signing with them after visiting Portland only to have a last-minute change of heart and take a five-year, $53 million deal with the Toronto Raptors. The Blazers then signed restricted free-agent forward Paul Millsap(notes) to an offer sheet that the Utah Jazz matched.

why the hell would he back out of this deal? LOL...hes not getting paid more anywhere else, and Portland now has a legit shot to contend. this move makes them the 2nd best team in the west, with denver and san antonio fighting for that 3rd spot.......i dunno how thisll effect philadelphia, though.. a year back they seemed to be up there with the top teams in the east, with a core of iggy, andre miller, and elton brand.....i guess they wanna develop  louis williams and jrue holiday. theyll still make the playoffs, but their season isnt looking as promising as it would have with andre miller on the roster. it'll work out for the long-term, though.

he doesn't need to be as good as he used to be......if he can put up 15-8, that's good enough.
