I know he's done well this year but that's a remarkably long extension, especially for someone with a limited track record. Decent odds they fire him before the end of it, or at least want to and only decide against it to save cash. |

Contract extensions are nice, but unless there's some guaranteed money involved, they're pretty meaningless.

Miller/Sienko needlessly traded away Chelsea Gray to get Jonquel Jones when he could of and should of drafted J Jones with the third or fourth pick in the Draft. He would of had both along with maybe Aerial Powers or Williams.
No, he foolishly gambled on the chronically injured Morgan Tuck and a questionable and yet to produce Banham.
Just think what Connecticut could of done without him... |
It's not only Chelsea Gray he traded for JJones. He traded away their first round pick in 2017, which turned out to be a lottery pick (#4) in which LAS traded for Sims and #11 in 2017 (Wiese).
So JJones turned out to be the equivalent of 25% of the Sparks Finals-worthy roster. |
Sorry Shades, as much as you hate Miller |
You try to project it as hate, when it's just trade evaluation and clarification of the trade. Richyyy echoes a lot of the same things I say about Miller, but you don't accuse him of hate. You don't even confront him like you do with me. I wonder why? Who hates who?

I haven’t read any post by Richyyy indicating, for example, that Miller might be insecure. In general, I’ve found Richyyy’s posts informative, focused on facts, and absent of strongly biased feelings or defensiveness.

BTW, I said I'd make the trade again, at the time, and under the same circumstances.
I never defended the choices that were made of Tuck or Banham. In fact, I have said I wanted Courtney Williams in that number four slot.
If you want to believe Shades' mindset, I'm also sure when Miller and Sienko discussed the trade, they said "Hmm, let's trade next year's pick because then Dallas will unload Odyssey Sims who they can't get anyone else to take, on LA, and she will have a career resurgence under Agler for that pick."
It's wonderful to look at trades in hindsight isn't it? I say again, I'd make that trade in a heartbeat.

Well again, it doesn't make sense that you would do the trade again unless you're talking about looking at it in hindsight and you would still make the same trade. If you don't understand that could have drafted JJones instead of trading a lot for her, then you'd be making the same mistake.

What? Criticism of Miller? Better hope he doesn't see this. It might crush his spirit. He might think you're a hater. But seeing that he traded Bone for Williams, a player you say you liked, you guys can probably hug it out.

No, that's your mindset. I just wanted to clarify that JJones cost more than just Chelsea Gray. I guess Miller had no reason to believe that the 2016 season would turn out as badly as it did, but that's the reality. It was kind of a repeat of Thibault in 2010.

I said it was hindsight, but that's how trades get evaluated. How did Cooper's trade of his first round pick get evaluated?
You're also using hindsight in your evaluation of JJones, and saying you'd do the trade again. Let's see your predraft analysis of JJones.
