Bulls center Brad Miller has refuted the notion that he might retire at the end of the season when his seven-year, $68 million contract ends.

"I won't be asking for the same amount," Miller said with a laugh.

"I do call myself a realist. Hopefully, I'll get more (than league minimum) but it's not about money. I just want to play. I think I have not too many more but definitely one or two more seasons in me."

Miller, who went undrafted out of Purdue, has made millions, enjoyed deep playoff runs and played in All-Star Games.

"No way I could've predicted this," Miller said. "I thought maybe I'd get a couple of years in and call it good. It has been an amazing ride. I just kept going."
