--Coach Maurice Cheeks and guard Willie Green wouldn't publicly identify the Sixers' top offseason need areas, but veteran guard Andre Miller had no problem spelling them out.

"I think everybody -- the fans and the media -- everybody knows kind of what the team needs -- maybe another big man, another wing player (who can shoot)," Miller said.

--The Sixers own the 16th pick in the June 26 draft. Barring a trade, that'll be their only selection because they dealt their second-rounder to the Jazz in order to land a 2005 second-round choice.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"I think I got a few years left in me. I'm not that old. I definitely can get up and down the court. I've always taken care of my body and stayed healthy throughout my career -- knock on wood I don't fall down the steps or anything." -- G Andre Miller, 32, when asked if he can play another season at his 2007-08 level.
