Players we want back: Mike Miller


To fit in this ever-evolving Heat crew, Miller needs to pull off those warm-ups and play the old man game. Shane Battier attempts this as starter every so often, but he's not nearly as gifted or as quick a passer as Miller is. With Dwyane Wade and LeBron James helping to guard quicker opponents and Erik Spoelstra working with a deeper (if much older) rotation as the Heat attempt to defend their championship, the gravy that Mike (new nickname: "If Healthy") Miller could provide doesn't have to come in the packet form of "another potential shooter off the bench."

OL Analysis: First of all, I’ve given up on wholesale jerseys china talking about Brian Waters. I don’t think he’s walking through that door, as Rick Pitino would say. But I haven’t given up on Dan Koppen, even though he was clearly on my bubble. I just feel more comfortable with him starting between Mankins and Connolly with guys like Wendell and McDonald coming off the bench. But I won’t be shocked if Koppen gets his walking papers, either. He did not have a great summer overall. McDonald’s health cheap nba jerseys could also be an issue here, with a guy like Donald Thomas or Jeremiah Warren potentially stealing that spot. Kopa is more a placeholder and backup tackle option, even though he’s had an injury. More likely the team brings in an offensive lineman who gets let go from another team. Just a hunch, probably a tackle type for insurance.
