Miller Time?

Andre Miller’s contract expires at the end of this season, and it’s no more certain now than it was last season that Miller will re-sign with the Sixers.

“We’ve been talking to Andre’s agent and neither party has come to any conclusion,” Stefanski said. “I think time will tell on all these things as far as your personnel. I just don’t think we’re there yet to make a decision either way.”

For his part, Miller said he’s trying to focus on his job.

“I haven’t talked about anything,” Miller said. “It’s not really important right now. Every player thinks about that for a little bit, but I’m just trying to block it out and concentrate on the rest of the season.”

Whether he’ll spend the rest of the season here or not could be up in the air as well. The trade deadline is Feb. 19, and if the Sixers still aren’t playing well, moving Miller might make sense.

But Miller said he doesn’t want to be the player who demands a trade to a contender.

“I don’t know,” he said. “My career, I’m almost 33. Every player wants to be on a contender, but I don’t want it to seem like if I was going that way, that it would be a bailout on the team. But I do understand that it’s a business. I’m not going to fall into that trap. I’m just going to continue and go out and do my job.”
