*Update*
According to the Miami Herald, Miller has signed a five year deal to join the Heat, though the specific terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed.
On the same day that Udonis Haslem signed a 5 year contract to join the NBA’s newest “Big Three”, fellow Gator Alumni, Mike Miller decided to follow his close friend and join the force that is the Miami Heat. According to ESPN.com, Miller will also sign a 5 year contract with the Heat at any time. Arn Tellem, who represents Miller, confirmed his client’s intent to sign with the Heat via his blog while oddly comparing Miller to the Beatles’ Ringo Star.
Apparently, the two former Gators were in close contact regarding their decision to join forces with the other stars on Miami’s roster. Regarding the opportunity to play with Miller, Haslem has been reported by ESPN saying, “Nothing else for me to consider. That’s my boy from day one.”
During the 2009-10 NBA season, Miller averaged a respectable 10.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game to go along with a nearly 50% shooting percentage from behind the three point line for the Washington Wizards.
Both Haslem and Miller will likely come off the bench for the Heat during the upcoming season. The two former Gators will look to achieve something that alluded them at Florida; a championship.
