When Quincy Miller was acquired by the Nets from the Pistons in a trade this summer, his first thought wasn’t about where he would live or who was on his new team.
“[It was] whether I would have [an opportunity] at all,” Miller said.
That was because Miller had a $50,000 guarantee coming from the Pistons, and there were reports he was about to be released. But the Nets wound up hanging onto him, wanting to see what the athletic 6-foot-8 forward could do in training camp.
“It’s definitely a daily grind, coming in here and putting in the work,” Miller said.
