Dude averaged 26 minutes per game this past season and is a true pro. If you bring Miller in, you probably don't re-sign Foye, and play Miller in 2 guard sets with Burke for a handful of minutes per game. I can't imagine he'd expect to play more than 24 minutes per game, even on a mediocre team. His commitment to helping another young player learn the ropes is key though.

I don't think we're so separate on the issue. I would add in that it seems to me that Corbin's greatest asset in placating veterans is by capitulation, not with good leadership or communication or whatever it is that makes some coaches more able to get players to be more malleable. I don't know that Corbin + some rookie is going to be as good of a sell to Miller as George Karl + Ty Lawson. If any of that makes any sense.

This part makes perfect sense. If Miller is looking for big minutes/a big role OR has title aspirations, he's not a good fit. If he's interested in getting 20 - 28 minutes per game as a mentor and extension of the coach on a young, growing team, I'm not sure there's a better player in his price range.

Werd. You'd certainly hope that if there were legs to this idea that the Jazz would have a talk with Miller before anything happened.

I have no problem signing this guy. Value as a mentor.. value as a guy willing to give and take and not whine about it.. cheap price tag. I wanted to see this guy in a Jazz uniform since I got back into Basketball(I think he was with Denver at the time).
 
Presuming he's willing to be a mentor for our future PG, and take a lesser role once Burke emerges, I cannot think of a better PG for the draft to target.
 
I think it's a good fit. I'd even be fine if he started so long as Burke was seeing at least 24-26 mpg. However, just because we think he'd take a backup/lesser role doesn't mean Corbin does. I could very well see some reasonable possibility of lots of 14 minutes and less games coming from Burke.

My greatest fear.
 
I love Miller but I think he makes the Jazz too good. I don't want them to be too good next year. The kool-aid is make me sick.
Tinsley for the win!! (and by win I mean loss)
