We could all see this coming from a mile away. While it was unclear whether Miller himself was a fit on this Nuggets roster, it's clear that the prospect of playing once again with the best player on the planet on his new/old team was too much for Miller to pass up. We wish him well.
It was always sketchy that the Nuggets would willingly go into the luxury tax for Mike Miller, and any move for Miller was likely to be accompanied by some bigger roster moves. Now the Nuggets likely won't have to worry about making those decisions.
