Hear me out on this. The Sixers starting point guard is 32-years old, has an expiring contract and is putting together a decent season. A contender could use a guy that has leadership qualities, albeit under the surface, burgeoning shooting skills and a keen eye for the open man.
Andre Miller can be yours if the price is right!
But in seriousness, the Sixers need to look at options in the next 24 hours. They have no cap flexibility, which in this day and age is brutal. And let's face it, the Sixers aren't going to win a title this year. We all know that they are still a piece away (thought Brand was that guy, dammit) and Miller's value will not be higher. If they can find a team willing to part with some draft considertaions for a player that could put them over the top, make the move. If it isn't something that works out for both sides, then your still hanging on to a very good point guard who could help get you past the first round of the playoffs.
Depressedfan.com has an amazing spread on a few deals that could happen. Some are pipe dreams, but he does do a fantastic job of breaking down the salary-cap considerations within the piece.
Miami comes to mind, as they will be under the luxury tax threshold next season, even though they have taken on a longer deal in the Jermaine O'Neal trade. Miller would give them the PG they covet, and the Sixers could get back Daequan Cook and draft considerations.
