LONG BEACH, Calif. - Los Angeles Clippers free-agent point guard Andre
Miller has committed to sign with the Nuggets, according to NBA
sources.

Miller is expected to receive a six-year contract in the $55 million
range. But considering that free agents can't sign until Wednesday and
the Clippers would get 15 days to match Miller's deal because of his
restricted free-agent status, the Nuggets probably won't officially
know whether they have the 2001-02 NBA assists leader in the fold
until month's end.

For six years, 10% raises, divide the total by 7.5. That
comes out to $7,333,333.33, but I'm sure the $55 million
total was rounded off.
