Why wouldn't Mike Miller choose Cleveland over Denver?

Why wouldn't Mike Miller choose Cleveland over Denver?

Because Denver offered him more than twice the money Cleveland did.

Denver offered Miller 5 million per season?

Wow. I think his deal with the Cavs is about right for this stage for his career.

One team is a title contender and the other will be lucky to make the playoffs. Easy decision to me

Yeah, at this point in his career, Miller has pretty much made the money he's going to make as far as any kind of big contracts. Now it's about seeing how many rings he can collect playing a Robert Horry type of role.

One company offers you 12 million and another offers you 5 million and YOU are going to go with the 5 million because they are the better company??? Foolish.

So bling is more important than money? Wow, that explains why so many NBA players wind up bankrupt.

Part of the game is winning and rings. You can't compare it to a company, bc you only have two goals moving up in the company and money. This is different.

Title contender with love or no love?

 

[Hambombs]

Also miller easy decision to pick cavs this isn't baseball where all the players take money over winning all the time

Cedar Point is a short drive to Sandusky.

I'd suggest keeping Sandusky away from all of the youngsters at Cedar Point.

Foolish. In fact an athlete should be MORE focused on making money than any bling since the standard career of a world class athlete (career) is around 5 years. NBA players are predominantly uneducated and their NBA careers are going to be the BEST option they have to make money and set themselves up for the rest of their lives. As we've seen with study after study, they aren't too smart when it comes to handling money. Many will eventually sell their bling on Ebay once their NBA money runs out.

Denver offered Miller 5 million per season?

Wow. I think his deal with the Cavs is about right for this stage for his career.

I think he was offered 12/M for 3 years in Denver.

He'll make 2.75M in Cleveland this year, plus still get paid from the Heat 6M plus.

This way he can re-evaluate his situation in a year.
