Memphis, Tenn. — Mike Miller had
several teams interested in his 3-point shooting as a possible missing
link for a long playoff run. It didn’t take him long to figure out where
he wanted to be: Memphis.
The
sharp-shooting Miller said Tuesday that the Grizzlies are “right there”
when it comes to winning a championship with what he calls the NBA’s two
best big men in Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, an underrated point guard
in Mike Conley and a lockdown defender in Tony Allen.
So
one of Miller’s first calls after the Miami Heat decided to amnesty him
was to the Grizzlies’ chief executive officer Jason Levien. Miller said
the two had same idea, “It was a perfect fit and how can we make this
work to get back here.”
The two got it
done. The Grizzlies announced Tuesday morning that they had signed the
best 3-point shooter in franchise history as part of their efforts to
improve a team coming off its first Western Conference final.
Memphis did not disclose details of the contract.
