Thu Jul 21 201618:56NBA notebook: League takes All-Star Game out of Charlotte
The NBA announced it will pull the 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte, with the hope of returning the marquee midseason event to the city two years later.The league's move is in response to its objection to North Carolina House Bill 2, a law that mandates people use public restrooms corresponding to the sex listed on their birth certificates. Commissioner Adam Silver had threatened to move the All-Star Weekend out of Charlotte unless the law aimed at the state's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community was changed.While the league said that it would reveal the new host city for the 2017 All-Star Game in the coming weeks, The Vertical reported that the NBA has its eyes on the New Orleans' Smoothie King Center. New Orleans played host to the All-Star Game in both 2008 and 2014.Chicago, New York and Brooklyn are also in the running to host the event, ESPN reported on Thursday.--The Indiana Pacers on Thursday signed veteran free agent point guard Aaron Brooks to a contract.

Thu Jul 21 201614:36Nuggets re-sign Mike Miller
The Denver Nuggets on Thursday re-signed forward Mike Miller to a multiyear contract.Miller, a 16-year NBA veteran, appeared in 47 games for Denver during the 2015-16 season and averaged 1.3 points and 1.1 rebounds in 7.9 minutes per game.Miller has played in 1,012 career games and posted averages of 10.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 27.3 minutes per game for Orlando, Memphis, Minnesota, Washington, Miami, Cleveland and Denver."We're thrilled that Mike will be back with us going forward. He exemplifies what it means to be an ultimate teammate and professional, and his resume certainly speaks for itself," said general manager Tim Connelly. "Last season Mike made a major impact on our young core and we look forward to continuing to have his veteran leadership both on the court and in our locker room."
Thu Oct 1 201516:51Miller signed one-year contract with Nuggets on Wednesday
Miller signed a one-year contract with the Nuggets on Wednesday, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
Denver was the expected landing spot for Miller after the Trail Blazers elected to buy out the forward's contract over the weekend. Miller, who was dealt to Portland in July in a salary dump, is preparing to serve as in a mentorship role for the Nuggets' young perimeter talent. After spending four of the last five seasons alongside LeBron James in Miami and then Cleveland, Miller should have plenty of wisdom to impart to his new teammates, but his on-court contributions aren't expected to be notable. Now 35 years old, expect Miller to see fewer than 15 minutes a night, and only in situations where the Nuggets are in need of more three-point shooting on the outside.

Miller has officially cleared waivers and is expected to join the Nuggets, ESPN's Marc Stein reports.
While nothing is currently set in stone, all signs point to Miller heading to Denver on what would likely be a one-year deal at, or close to, the veteran's minimum. Miller has hitched his wagon to LeBron James in recent years, playing four of his last five seasons in Miami and Cleveland alongside the four-time MVP. As such, he's adjusted to his role as a three-point specialist, and that's what he'll bring to the Nuggets' bench. The 35-year-old attempted only 114 field goals last season, and 98 of those came from beyond the three-point line. He is not likely to see a heavy enough minutes load to warrant much fantasy value, but he could be of use in daily formats if Denver is faced with multiple injuries on the wing at some point.
Mon Sep 28 201510:04Miller has reportedly been offered one-year deal by Nuggets
Miller, who recently reached a buyout with the Blazers, has reportedly been offered a one-year deal by the Nuggets, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.
Miller would be able to accept the deal after clearing waivers this week. If he takes this route, he would likely serve in a veteran depth role at guard behind the likes of Emmanuel Mudiay, Jameer Nelson, Wilson Chandler, and Randy Foye to name a few.

Miller has reached a buyout with the Blazers and will enter free agency, Yahoo Sports reports.
Miller came to Portland in the Brendan Haywood deal, and there were suspicions all along that Miller could be waived or bought out following the acquisition. That became official Sunday, as Miller will likely now look for a championship contender team to latch on with. As a 15-year veteran, Miller brings plenty of leadership to the table, so expect teams to take notice of his release.
Sun Jul 26 201521:22Mike Miller: Traded To Portland
Miller has been traded to Portland along with Brendan Haywood in exchange for two second-round draft picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Miller recently picked up his player option for the 2015-16 season so he's expected to spend at least one season in Portland, although there's still a chance the organization will elect to waive the veteran. Last season he only averaged 14 minutes on the court after 52 appearances, but he could see both of those numbers rise this upcoming season since he'll only be competing with Gerald Henderson, C.J. McCollum, and Maurice Harkless for playing time on a roster devoid of proven talent.

Miller exercised his player option Tuesday to remain with the Cavaliers for the 2015-16 season.
As expected, the 15-year veteran will be back with Cleveland next season after appearing in 52 games in 2014-15. At this point in his career, Miller offers little outside of spot-up, outside shooting, but he's a close confidant of LeBron James, so it's not surprising to see him stick around.

Miller appeared in nine games during the Cavaliers' postseason run and averaged 1.0 point in 7.2 minutes. He played in 52 games in his return with LeBron James and put up 2.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in 13.5 minutes.
Miller had been an occasional sniper in his days with the Heat and Grizzlies, but was unable to provide much support for Cleveland in the playoffs. Injuries and age have taken away a great deal from the 35 year old. He has a player option for 2015-16, which he may exercise to stay with James.
Mon Jun 8 201500:00Miller played in fifth game of this postseason
Miller played in his fifth game of this postseason. He was held scoreless in six minutes and grabbed a rebound during Sunday's Game 2 95-93 overtime win over the Warriors.
With Kyrie Irving (knee) set to miss the rest of the season, coach David Blatt dusted off the former Rookie of the Year for spot minutes off the bench. His grasp on rotation minutes moving forward is tenuous at best.
Thu May 14 201523:06Miller played two minutes in win over Chicago on Thursday
Miller played two minutes in the win over Chicago on Thursday. He did not put up any stats.
Miller did not play in the previous three games and fell out of the rotation after starting Game 1 of the series. It appears his days as a useful fantasy asset are over, but he could still get up a few 3-pointers in the Eastern Conference finals.

Miller will begin Game 2 on the bench with Tristan Thompson taking the starting role, ESPN reports.
Miller did not offer much production during his 16 minutes of action while starting in place of Kevin love Monday. That, in combination with the dominance of the Bulls' big men, has lead head coach David Blatt to favor a bigger starting lineup for Game 2. Miller should still see some playing time though since teammate J.R. Smith is still suspended for Wednesday.

Miller played 16 minutes as a starter for the Cavaliers in the Game 1 loss to Chicago on Monday. He had three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and five rebounds.
Miller started for Kevin Love (shoulder) with Tristan Thompson coming off the bench. He did not play in the series win over the Celtics, but should see more playing time in Game 2 while J.R. Smith (suspension) remains out.
Mon May 4 201518:55Mike Miller: Will Start Game 1
Miller is in the starting lineup for Monday's Game 1 against the Bulls, KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
As expected, it will be Miller and Iman Shumpert entering the lineup in place of J.R. Smith (suspension) and Kevin Love (shoulder). Depending upon how Game 1 turns out, the pair will likely start Game 2, but Smith will be available to return for Game 3 as the series shifts to Chicago.
Mon May 4 201518:06Miller expected to enter starting lineup for Monday's Game 1 aga...
Miller is expected to enter the starting lineup for Monday's Game 1 against the Bulls, Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
We've seen conflicting reports as to which players will fill in for J.R. Smith (suspension) and Kevin Love (shoulder), but as of roughly an hour before game time it appears Iman Shumpert and Mike Miller are the top candidates. Coach David Blatt is yet to offer confirmation, but an update should come in the near future.

Coach David Blatt indicated that Miller will see an increased role in Round 2, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.
Miller did not play a single minute in the first round against Boston, and he saw mostly garbage-time minutes in 52 regular season contests. However, with J.R. Smith sidelined for the first two games of the second round, Miller will be forced into action. He's not likely to see a significant minutes load, but the Cavs will look to Miller as a source of outside shooting to replace Smith.
Fri Apr 24 201510:28Miller left on bench through first three games of playoffs
Miller has been left on the bench through the first three games of the playoffs.
The postseason rotation has tightened up for the Cavaliers and Miller's playing time has suffered as a result. In years past he played vital minutes for Miami during their numerous playoff efforts but it appears that won't be the case in Cleveland as he admires the postseason run from the bench.
Fri Apr 10 201522:36Miller scored 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with four rebo...
Miller scored 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with four rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes in the loss to Boston on Friday.
Miller played more than four minutes for the first time since Mar. 3. He had only hit one basket in March. Miller might see more playing time in the last few regular season games before hitting the bench for the playoffs.

Miller did not take the court for the third straight game Wednesday in the win over the Heat.
Miller started a game in early January, but has been playing sparingly ever since. He can still be effective from 3-point range despite hitting just 33.3 percent of his long range shots this season.
