Chad Ford on Bibby

Loofie_tiny by Tom Ziller on in Free Agency/Trades

In his morning chat, Chad Ford of ESPN.com briefly discusses the chances of a Mike Bibby trade:

I think this one has some legs if the Kings can get a taker. The question is who. Lots of talk about Philly, but Billy King says he's sticking with Andre Miller. I wonder if Atlanta would finally be willing to give up an asset or two and spend some money. Probably no given the current ownership fight which has to get resolved soon.

Philadelphia has dropped three straight - all at home - and sits only three games better than Boston. Miller can be traded in combination with other players starting Saturday (there was a 60-day restriction period when he could only be dealt solo).

Andre Miller and Joe Smith for Mike Bibby and Vitaly Potapenko would work. A pick (not necessarily Philly's own high pick) could also be involved.

I don't think Andre Miller and Joe Smith improve this team. I would be very disappointed if that deal goes down. Maybe a draft pick would ease my uneasiness.

Re: Chad Ford on Bibby
I wouldn't want Andre Miller. This doesn't help us rebuild the team.

Re: Chad Ford on Bibby
Is Miller older or younger than Bibby?

I've always liked his game, but I have not watched him on a consistent basis.

Re: Chad Ford on Bibby
Miller is a year older, with a frontloaded and much cheaper contract. Joe Smith is an expiring contract. The Kings save about $6 million next season and $7 million in 2008. Plus, they don't have to sign a starting point guard in the offseason, which frees up potential cap space for resigning Kevin Martin and getting a big.

You guys are smoking crack rocks. Go to NBA.com and do a player comparison of the two.

Re: Chad Ford on Bibby
That means I'm for getting Miller, by the way.

Re: Chad Ford on Bibby
I'm with you here, I like Andre better as long as he's used in a traditional PG role. You do lose quite a bit in outside shooting - that is, if Mike Bibby ever finds his shooting touch again. Look at Andre's career numbers from the 3-point line...not fresh.

Re: Chad Ford on Bibby
Not to mention, Dre wouldn't hinder the development of Martin, Garcia or Salmons, rather, he would help assist it.

Pun intended. ;)

Re: Chad Ford on Bibby
Oh man...Andre Miller would be awesome compared to having Kermit Bibby around. Miller would get way more assists and not need all the shots that Kermit does.

Re: Chad Ford on Bibby
Id still doing a trade with the Cavaliers to get Drew Gooden, Daniel Gibson, Ira Newble and Scotty Pollard

Re: Chad Ford on Bibby
That would be my second choice, but it still doesn't get me hard.

You have a creative way of evaluating trades sir.

I can't help but think of a very funny scene in Anchorman with Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate.  Those of you who have seen the movie will get it.

Re: Chad Ford on Bibby
i'll take a black adam sandler look-alike for a point guard especially with 8-10 assists per game

Re: Chad Ford on Bibby
Miller rocks! He is a pass first guy who does not have a hurt ego as of the moment.
