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:
老將Mike Miller被拓荒者買斷之後，與丹佛金塊簽下一年短約。
Miller今年估計能從拓荒者拿到2.8M。
金塊希望能提升他們的外圍投射，MM剛好符合他們的需求。
Mike Miller生涯場均11.3分，4.4籃板，2.7助攻，三分命中率達40.7%
Miller去年夏天在和騎士簽約之前就曾經拜訪過丹佛，
今年算進Miller之後金塊已經和15名球員有保障約。
心得:
去年跟著LBJ到了騎士，結果教練根本不敢用，希望這回能有機會好好表現!
