John Denton of the Florida Today reports: Mike Miller understands why he was dealt to Memphis last month and believes the Orlando Magic did the right thing.

"I agree 100 percent they had to do something. That's another reason why it's hard to blame anybody," Miller said of his feelings toward the Magic. "They had to make a move. I think a lot of people were getting impatient and we weren't going anywhere. We were going to the first round of the playoffs and getting knocked off. We were a playoff team, but after a while people get impatient with just being a playoff team. It's funny to say that, but they had to make a move."

After being mentioned in trade talks for his entire Magic career, Miller was glad to finally have some closure.

"Then, I could just worry about basketball and my family and not worry all the time about where I was going to be," he said. "It's hard when you're starting a family and you're worrying about where you're going to live. But I'm excited because I have great coaches and one of the best GMs ever in Jerry West."
