Miller is going to play a huge role on this team.. i would predict that he is going to be the third option the team only behind Roy and lamarcas. Miller will be the best point guard on the team and will get the majority of the minutes, but that does not mean he has to start, and it really does not matter how much they make. ginobli is one of the best players on the spurs team and he comes off the bench. Nate would not have asked Miller what he thought about coming off the bench if he was not seriously looking in to what i am talking about, or even something esle that i am missing. Miller is going to play solid no matter where he is at in the rotation, blake will have a harder time though and he does a great job playing along side roy, and roy does a great job playing along side blake. I think my solution is very logical. But only time will tell if this is what they are doing. i could see them trying to do this to start the season off anyway reguardless of what they do later in the season just because blake knows our offense and miller could take some time to get use to it. like i said, miller will get the starting minutes! it just doesnt mean that he has to be in the game when it starts. he will play a bigger role than blake… look at it like this. blake will play 15-20 minutes and miller will play 25-30 minutes… but blake still starts.. its a very good strategy. we did it with batum and outlaw last season. miller and roy have a lot of the same skill sets and it would be very useful to have them playing while the other is on the bench. there playing time will overlap and will play minutes together its just that all of steves minutes (however few they are) will have to be played with the starting unti.. and dre three ball will not hurt us, its nice to have guys on the floor to spread the d but dre makes up for it in a lot of other ways. basically, what i am trying to say is, the best players dont have to start. and if dre does come off the bench he would make a great candidate for 6th man.

Blake will be good to steady the Second unit.Dre has NEVER not started for a team he has played for.I just think Dre gives us a better chance to improve.
