Reports in the Philadelphia Inquirer show a noted hostility between Sixers GM Ed Stefanski and Andre Miller’s agent Andy Mmiller.
“We have made an offer to Andre but they’re looking for a better offer from other places,” the Sixers’ general manager said yesterday. “I’d say right now we’re in the mode of looking for a sign-and-trade that makes sense for both sides . . . I’d say we’re far apart.”
Years? Money?
“It’s both,” Stefanski said. “To go long-term on a contract with an older point guard – we don’t see that as a viable option right now.”
Stefanski said that Andy Miller, Andre Miller’s agent, is currently “canvassing the league” looking for a workable sign-and-trade. Andy Miller said he wasn’t happy that the Sixers now see Miller as a long-term liability.
“Age wasn’t an issue when he was able to lead the team to the playoffs,” Andy Miller said.
