The NBA trade deadline looms on Thursday and though Andre Miller's name will appear in various rumors they're not coming from the Sixers.

In many cases, it's wishful thinking. With money under the cap this summer, enough to improve the team through a trade or free-agent signing, why create another need by trading one of the better point guards in the league.

Yeah, the argument is that he'll be 34 or 35 when the Sixers are ready to contend. That didn't stop the Mavericks from chasing Jason Kidd, who is 35 right now.

Miller's game, unlike that of other guards we might name, isn't predicated on speed, so a sharp dropoff in what he brings isn't likely in the next few years.

There is a school of thought that Ed Stefanski is bluffing about Miller when he says he's not trading him, trying to drive the price up.

But I tend to think that if you've got a solid point guard -- many would list Miller in the top five or six in the league -- why move him and take a chance that you'll be able to find one again in two years?

If you could, would you trade Miller, and what would be an acceptable package?
