Joe Stevens of the Daily News reports that the Clippers are pondering a big deal. Even though Clippers GM Elgin Baylor is tight-lipped about trade rumors, multiple sources say he and the Cavaliers are working on a trade to send Darius Miles the eighth pick and possibly the 12th pick to the Cavs for point guard Andre Miller and the sixth pick.

Baylor confirmed he has talked with the Cavs but wouldn't offer any details. "We've talked to every team," he said.

The Cavs might not be able to re-sign Miller when he becomes a free agent after this season, so they would be willing to deal him. But such a trade might give Cleveland more losses this season and endanger the jobs of general manager Jim Paxson and coach John Lucas. As a result, the pair might block Cavs management from making any deal.

As for the Clippers, they need to be certain that they can afford to give Miller a maximum contract extension. It's unclear whether such a commitment will come from Clippers management.

The Clippers are looking to upgrade their point guard situation. Jeff McInnis, the Clippers' starting point guard this season, is an unrestricted free agent and the team likely won't re-sign him. The Clippers want to upgrade their point-guard position with someone who can create shots, defend better and be quicker on the fast break, or with someone who has that potential.
