76ers pull offer for Miller, Blazers prepare their offer

Looks like Andre Miller is a few steps closer to being a Blazer.

From the Philadelphia Daily News....
If Andre Miller's tenure with the 76ers wasn't already over, it is seemingly another step closer. A source familiar with the situation said the Sixers have withdrawn their 1-year offer to the veteran point guard. The Sixers made that move because they believe Miller does not want to return on a 1-year contract. There have been multiple reports in recent days about interest from the New York Knicks and the Portland Trail Blazers, and both the Sixers and Miller's agent, Andy Miller, are open to the possibility of a sign-and-trade

And the New York Times is reporting that the Portland Trailblazes are preparing to make an offer for Andre Miller according to an undisclosed source.

And Chad Ford on Twitter has linked the Blazers to two deals that look like they are about to happen One may involve David Lee, the other, the oft mentioned Andre Miller.

David Lees negotiations with the Knicks have broken down. He is simply asking for more money than they are willing to pay.

I wonder why the Sixers offered Miller only a 1 year deal?

Friction with the organization? A bad salary cap situation? Miller is worth a multi-year contract.

Both Miller and Lee would help bolster the Blazers and keep 'em in the race with the Spurs and Lakers.
