The opening was created when the team waived guard Sharnee Zoll last week after she tore the ACL in her left knee. Miller averaged 7.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 31 games with the Atlanta Dream last season. She spent the last three seasons in Atlanta playing under current Sparks coach Carol Ross, who was an assistant with the Dream. Miller is starting her 12th season in the WNBA, having spent eight years with the Washington Mystics, who drafted her in 2001. She was the league's most improved player in 2002.

And typically, we are talking about adding new players around this time. Yes, with all the owners and general managers in one place, a lot of business will get done in front of the March 15 trade deadline. And surely Otis Smith will be at the center of that. There is one move Otis Smith could not make. One move and one teammate that he did not add. Yes, it is time to officially welcome WNBA All Star Marie Ferdinand-Harris to Team Orlando. Ferdinand-Harris will join Jameer Nelson and NBA legend (NBA's words, not mine) Dennis Scott on All-Star Saturday Night for the Haier Shooting Stars competition. This is the contest that opens up All-Star Saturday night where an NBA player, an NBA legend and a WNBA star have to make shots from various locations on the floor as quickly as possible. Of course, the team's time is largely determined by how quickly one player can sink a half court shot. That is the break. Last year, Team Atlanta won with Al Horford, Ste...
