Mike Miller signs one-year deal with Denver Nuggets
By Christopher Dempsey
The Denver Post
The Nuggets signed guard Mike Miller to a one-year deal after the veteran
cleared waivers on Wednesday.
Miller received a buyout from Portland on Sunday, and was placed on waivers.
Miller was scheduled to make $2.8 million this season with the Blazers.
The Nuggets are looking to upgrade their outside shooting and the 6-foot-8
Miller appears to fit the bill. He has averaged 11.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and
2.7 assists for his career while shooting 40.7 percent from 3-point range
with Orlando, Memphis, Minnesota, Washington, Miami and Cleveland.
Miller visited Denver last summer when he was a free agent before signing
with Cleveland. The Cavaliers traded Miller and center Brendan Haywood to
Portland in July. In Miller the Nuggets are also getting another solid
presence in the lockerroom, something management has put a premium on this
season after the dysfunction of the 2014-15 season.
With the addition of Miller, the Nuggets have 15 players who have signed
guaranteed contracts. Still, there is competition for the third point guard
spot between incumbent Erick Green and newcomer Nick Johnson, who was
acquired by the team via trade with Houston, the deal that sent point guard
Ty Lawson to the Rockets.

大概翻一下:
老将Mike Miller被拓荒者买断之后，与丹佛金块签下一年短约。
Miller今年估计能从拓荒者拿到2.8M。
金块希望能提升他们的外围投射，MM刚好符合他们的需求。
Mike Miller生涯场均11.3分，4.4篮板，2.7助攻，三分命中率达40.7%
Miller去年夏天在和骑士签约之前就曾经拜访过丹佛，
今年算进Miller之后金块已经和15名球员有保障约。
心得:
去年跟着LBJ到了骑士，结果教练根本不敢用，希望这回能有机会好好表现!
