"I'm not satisfied with my career. I just know that I still got something left. So for me, being close to home, just having I guess what you would call it – comfortable with this city – and just a transition at this point in my career it's best that I just stay where I'm at," Miller told Sactown Royalty. "I didn't want to leave Washington, it happened, and I don't want to leave here."

Miller is a native of Los Angeles but has relatives in Sacramento. He said he has been visiting the city since he was six or seven years old and thinks of it as a second home. The 38-year-old, whose contract expires at the end of this season, wants to play one more year he said, and at this point, he aims to simply have a positive impact in some shape or form.

He's certainly made an impact in his first five games with the Kings this season (averaging 7.6 points, 5.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and shooting 60 percent from the field). On Sunday, he recorded a double-double (12 points and 10 assists in 26 minutes of action) at 38 years old.

"I just try to keep the game simple, make simple plays, put guys in the right spot to be effective and give guys confidence as the game goes along," Miller told reporters Sunday.

One of those reserve players is Omri Casspi. Casspi, who is still troubled by a lingering left knee bone contusion, tries to run like a gazelle any time he gets the opportunity, which leaves fast break options open for Miller.

"Stability at the backup point guard. He runs the offense and kind of gets stuff going," Casspi said about Miller. "He defends, he rebounds, he runs and he pushes the ball every opportunity that we get."

"I ask Andre a lot of questions. He's always in my ear telling me what he sees. So having him here is real helpful. He's an extended coach on the floor," McCallum said. "Some of these games we've got to be out there together playing two point guards together … he finds me and let's me attack and I try to do the same thing for him."

McLemore has been impressed with what the veteran can do.

"With his age and stuff like that, to be able to do all that different stuff and his skill set is amazing," McLemore said.

The oldest player on the roster may be the player Karl is most comfortable with. Having coached him in Denver already, Karl and Miller have a sort of "I know what you want to do" with this team attitude about one another.

"Andre never exceeds my expectations. I just think he knows the game, he makes guys better and he's a winner and he's old school. All of those things as a coach, it's fun to have on your side," Karl said. "It'll be interesting to see how his minutes and his age and all that stuff, but he'll teach a lot of guys how to the play the game just by being a part of this team."

Many refer to Miller as having an "old man game," but don't tell him that.

Sometimes he uses that label in his favor to keep the defense honest.

"I put a little burst in my step every now and then just to keep the defense off balance," Miller said.

Miller is the type of guy this Sacramento franchise always needs on the floor and in the locker room. Like Karl, he has been doing this for years and has garnered the respect of the younger players in the league. He isn't going to put the team on his back and lead them to the playoffs, but he is going to do a lot more good than bad.

Let's face it, at this point in his career, he would probably be happy to play for any team in the league going into next season, but he seems to have a comfort level in his Sacramento role and that is something that should be and is being utilized. He's only been with the Kings for five games, but he has already proven to be a valuable contributor and at this point he looks like he is more than capable of doing it again next season.
