Boo to Brad's agent. it's his job to get the most $$ for his client, but he still is an ass. Miller publicly said his future with the pacers depended on what jermaine o'neal was going to do. so the pacers sign o'neal to the max. Brad's agent knew the Pacers were going to do that first and that the Pacers would not have a lot of cap space left to give Brad a big time deal. Yet this guy asks for an amount the Pacers cannot afford without going over the cap. Miller is definitely not worth the 8+ mil or whatever outrageous amount utah or denver are offering.
its unfortunate he can't stay with the pacers. a healthy miller, o'neal, artest would have given Indy the best frontcourt in the East (and potential all star frontcourt). O'neal at center doesn't seem like a good idea for an entire regular season.
At least this opens up PT for Harrington/Bender. I don't think Harrington is undersized for PF- 6'9 250. btw- harrington leading the team in scoring next year? the ink isn't even dry on O'neal's max contract and already someone else is projected to score more then him? yeh right. and I don't think Harrington's going anywhere. Pacers know he's too great of a talent to ship out just to open up cap space. if anything it would be mercer or croshere being traded for that purpose.
