Liberty Links: Miller to Portland, C.J. Watson and Jamaal Tinsley

The Blazers are making Andre Miller an offer.

The Portland Trail Blazers are preparing to make Miller an offer, according to a Western Conference general manager who requested anonymity because his team was not involved in the discussions.

And the Sixers withdrew their offer.

A source familiar with the situation said the Sixers have withdrawn their 1-year offer to the veteran point guard.

Jasner says the Sixers still have interest in C.J. Watson.

[The Sixers] still have interest in Golden State Warriors restricted free agent C.J. Watson, but have been told Watson wants more than 1 year in an offer.

Just offer him two years please!

But unfortunately they also have interest in Jamaal "I shoot 39 percent and miss 20 games a year" Tinsley.

The Sixers are talking about 6-3 Jamaal Tinsley, who was released by Indiana on Wednesday after the sides agreed on a buyout. The Pacers sat the seven-year vet for the 2008-09 season because of disciplinary issues. He was connected with three late-night conflicts in a 14-month span.

And in more slightly depressing news, the Sixers look to fill out their roster with one of these big men:

The Sixers are looking at 7-foot-1 Primoz Brezec (Toronto), 7-0 Aaron Gray (Chicago), 7-0 Ryan Hollins (Dallas), 6-11 Jake Voskuhl (Toronto), 6-10 Adonis Foyle (Orlando) and 6-11 Jared Reiner.

How about Garret Siler instead? Out of these bigs, Ryan Hollins is my personal favorite.

Accept it – the sixers are in one year deal fear the 2011 luxury tax mode…not sure what I’m going to do about it.

Don't frack with me or you'll get a punch in the kidneys...you've been warned

Sign Marcus Williams and Garret Siler to one year deals. Slightly overpay if you have to.

I would be upset if we came out of this with Jamaal Tinsley and Jake Voskhul.

Who would centers of the East fear more? Voskumbert or Dalemboyle?

the way they are treating this miller thing

really makes me upset that they didn’t deal him at the deadline for something… this offseason has not been good at all (as pointed out by john in an earlier post)

Ed stated that they tried to trade Miller at the deadline but did not have any interest. Who knows if that is the whole story but we need to believe him unless we are ones who believe in conspiracy theories?

There were offers, just not good ones.

I believe.

And we can’t forget that Ed was mostly concerned with getting his team to the playoffs. Weren’t they in that 4-6 seed range at that time?

I wonder if he is signing out right or if it is going to be a s&t?

Outright.

The Blazers have cap room. They’re using it on Miller.

Well the olympic team thinks he should be on that list

Rose, Paul, Williams, Arenas, Kidd, Rondo

He should have taken Baron’s place. I’ll give you that.

I am not as disappointed as I thought I would be if we were to lose Miller

I was never going to be disappointed – i wanted him gone – i’m just disappointed that if they weren’t going to re-sign him they didn’t TRY AND GET SOMETHING FOR HIM when they had a chance.

Mr Stefanski is QUICKLY losing my faith

Not excited for the Juan Dixon era?

by jsams on Jul 24, 2009 2:05 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think they just wanted to free up cash

I really doubt they waned anyone back. That would imply spending money this summer. And they are not in a spending mode- even for 1 year deals.

Yeah, sign and trades are nonsense. Give another a contract you don’t want so you get one they don’t want back.

by JasonB on Jul 24, 2009 10:57 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Something?

Like someone else’s expiring contract?

Do you really think they could have gotten a good young player for him?

by JasonB on Jul 24, 2009 10:59 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Tinsley

Just get him for 1 year. I doubt the Sixers are going to be anything more than a 6 (if that) this year anyway, so we can put up with him for one year if it means we dont take a cap hit next year.
