According to Marc Stein of ESPN, C Brad "Slow-Mo" Miller has signed with the Houston Rockets for 3 years and $15 mil. Last season Miller backed up rising star Joakim Noah with the Chicago Bulls. While he isn't going to put up 15-9-4 like he did from 2001-2006, Miller will be a serviceable back up to Yao Ming. He will also be reuniting with coach Rick Adelman, with whom he experienced his best years in Sacramento. Miller is a deft passer and has the ability to hit spot-up jumpers at the top of the key. He should fit in beautifully in Houston.
In Chicago, it's sad to see Miller go. He showed great leadership abilities (wasn't afraid to talk trash to anyone) and served as a mentor to the sometimes unpredictable Joakim Noah. The Bulls anticipated Miller's departure, as they signed Turkish big man Omer Asik to a deal. Asik, 24, was a second round pick of the Portland Trailblazers who the Bulls picked up in a draft day deal in 2008.
