A source has told David Aldridge that there have been Thursday discussions between the Sixers and Blazers centered on Andre Miller.

The deal would involve the expiring contract of Blazers center Raef LaFrentz and another Portland guard in exchange for Miller and forward Reggie Evans.

Philadelphia wants Jerryd Bayless, and the Blazers have made the rookie guard next to untouchable. Portland would be more open to completing a deal, the source said, to include a guard like Steve Blake or Sergio Rodriguez.

The trade might be resurrected if the Grizzlies were involved and sent guard Kyle Lowry to Philadelphia.
