Talk ‘N Text signs veteran guard Willie Miller for Commissioner’s Cup campaign Veteran guard Willie Miller has been plucked out of semi-retirement and will get a chance to prove himself once more after being signed up by Talk ‘N Text for their upcoming PBA Commissioner’s Cup campaign. The 37-year-old, two-time MVP told InterAksyon that he has agreed to terms with the Tropang Texters, a franchise he played several seasons for in the past. “Try lang natin until next conference,” Miller wrote in a text message. “Sana makatulong ako sa kanila.” Miller’s entry comes at a perfect time for Talk ‘N Text, which will be missing the services of former team captain Jimmy Alapag. The 5-foot-9 Alapag recently announced his retirement and will be serving as the team manager moving forward. His jersey will be retired by the franchise on Wednesday in the team’s conference opener against Rain or Shine. Miller, who was left unsigned in the Philippine Cup, will have a shot to prove he still deserves a spot in the PBA. He will join Talk ‘N Text’s talented backcourt, which currently features star guard Jayson Castro and rookie Kevin Alas. He suited up for Barako Bull last season, averaging 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists per contest.
