Miller made a sincere apology to Kevin Hurst after kicking a chair into the United Center stands as he was frustrated for a no foul call.

"I blew my top and now I'm starting fresh," Miller said. "I don't want to have the reputation as a whiner."
Instead of whining, Miller is taking a new approach as he believe it could help him get to the line more.
"I think there's a benefit to complaining less," coach Tim Floyd said. "I've complained and it really doesn't do any good."

Oakley is contemplating ending his career as a Lakers when he become a free agent next season.
"My door is open," Oakley said. "Anything purple and gold coming down the street has a chance to come by my house. I wouldn't mind coming off the bench and playing 15 minutes, backing up Shaq.
"It's an investment not for the money, but for the ring, something you play your whole career for. I'm just like that guy who plays hockey and played [20] years in Boston, then went to Denver and first year, bam. Right place at right time."

Last time Oakley were a free agent, he tried to join the Lakers but they could not agree on terms. But according to Oakley, this time it won?t be a problem.
"I'd go there for less than [the midlevel exception]," said Oakley, who wants to play two more seasons. "You'd know you have a chance to win a ring.
"I'm not trying to go out on the bottom. I don't want to be here. It's not good for no one?coach, players. You pick up bad habits losing. I haven't had bad habits in 17 years. It's like a lot of rock stars?a lot of them go to drugs or alcohol."
