Andre Miller could be traded to Orlando or Denver
According to reports, Andre Miller could be moved from the Portland Trail Blazers.
If sent to the Denver Nuggets, Miller and the 21st pick in the draft would be traded for Raymond Felton and the 22nd pick, according to David Aldridge on NBA.com.
If Miller was sent to the Orlando Magic, he’d go to Florida with the 21st pick in exchange for Jameer Nelson, according to the Orlando Senitel. However, the Senitel also say that the deal is being “overblown”.
There is also feeling out there that if the Magic did get Andre Miller, they would then trade him to the Atlanta Hawks for Josh Smith, as Miller can be cut before June 29 as his $7.8 million salary is unguaranteed, meaning the Hawks could save money.
