Entering the final season of his contract, Sixers' point guard Andre Miller has hired Andy Miller to represent him in free agency, the Philadelphia Daily News is reporting. Miller previously did not have an agent.

"Ed and I are just going to talk about everyone's perspective," Andy Miller said. "Andre is optimistic about where the team is and is excited about the immediate future."

One point of discussion almost certainly will be the possibility of a contract extension.

"As far as his own future, Andre's waiting until we've all had a chance to do our due diligence," Andy Miller said.
