Guard Andre Miller signed with the Portland Trail Blazers, the team announced Friday.

   Miller’s contract is a three-year deal worth $21 million, with $14 million guaranteed and $7 million included as a third-year team option, sources close to the process said.

   Miller met with Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard and coach Nate McMillan at a restaurant in Las Vegas earlier this week.

   Pritchard said he was impressed with how much Miller know about the Blazers offense.

   “Andre was terrific. He knew our team. He knew how he could help our team. He seemed like a coach,” Pritchard said.

   The Blazers wanted Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich, but failed to get him, joining the Paul Millisap and Hedo Turkoglu failures.
