“…Since the stunning reversal Friday evening, the Blazers have been active, according to agents around the league. Andy Miller said the Blazers first inquired about Andre Miller shortly after the free agent market opened July 1, but then the dialogue ceased. After the Turkoglu deal fell through, his phone line lit up again.

“I talked to him more this weekend than I have since the start,” Miller said of Pritchard. “I talked to him Saturday and Sunday, but not (Monday).”

Mark Bartelstein, who represents Lee, said Pritchard took the same approach with him – talking briefly with him on July 1, then more frequent calls after the Turkoglu deal flopped. Bartelstein said the Blazers are interested in Lee, a 6-foot-9 power forward/center, even though he plays positions where the Blazers appear well-stocked, with LaMarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla.

“I don’t think they operate like everyone else, where they have to fit everyone into a hole,” Bartelstein said of the Blazers. “They work to acquire great, young players and they make it work. And that’s what I think they are doing, trying to get the best players they can. And if (Pritchard) has an over-abundance of bigs? That’s a good position to be in in the NBA.”

A Blazers source shot down the team’s interest in Lee, saying they like him as a player, but don’t want to pay him what he wants. And a source in Charlotte said the Bobcats are staunchly against trading Wallace, whom they view as a building block for the team’s future.

That left Andre Miller as the only known scenario that still had legs. Miller, a 33-year-old point guard who played in Philadelphia last season, is viewed as an old-school point guard, one who passes before he shoots and excels at running the offense…”
