i do it just to get them out of the sweepstakes 2010

Actually according to this article... he doesn't look too ridiculous at all:





Miles has not played in an NBA game in two years, so it is not known when, or if, he was suspended five games during that time.

Although the Blazers waived Miles in April after an independent doctor ruled Miles' injuries to his right knee were career ending, the 10-game suspension is still relevant to the team. The Blazers will pay Miles the remaining $27.25 million of his contract, but his salary does not count against the Blazers' salary cap. However, if Miles returns to the NBA and plays in 10 games in one season in either of the next two seasons, his salary goes back onto the Blazers' books.

The suspension figures to make Miles even more damaged goods for a team interested in signing him. It is unclear whether Miles is trying to make a comeback, although it was rumored that he has been working out in Phoenix. His agent, Jeff Wechsler, did not return a phone message on Wednesday. No player has ever come back to the NBA after being deemed to have a career-ending injury.

Actually he does.

The Spurs have a record as an outstanding franchise/organization who have dealt with NBA talent and it's people in a honest and fair way. A move to intentionally screw up another organization and stain an impeccable reputation would make no sense.

What future organization/player would want to deal with them in the future??? What player would be enticed to sign with them knowing they (Spurs FO) were capable of being dirty and underhanded???

Too much to lose for one selfish act.

u idiot

sign him to 3 10-day contracts, is enough to play 10 games, and portland is d with us

Can't sign him to 3 10 day contracts. After the 2nd one he has to be signed for the remainder of the season.

If roster space weren't at a premium, I'd kind of get a kick out of seeing them do it, and cut him loose before the contracts are guaranteed. That's kind of a ed up way of dealing with people, though, and it's beneath the dignity of the Spurs.

Fun to talk about, though.

[Man In Black]

I say sign him. He can't be any worse than Dermarr Johnson and it's not like the Spurs haven't done enough for Portland. They were the ones that taught Kevin Pritchard, and then they got Monty Williams as an Asst. Coach and finally, they took the player that the Spurs REALLY wanted(Although I think the George Hill pickup was money.)

If the team was say...Dallas and Mark Cuban, would anyone have an issue with this?

[fotan2]

it's not a good idea that builds up another enemy .

[coopdogg3]

The best thing would be for Phoenix to sign him. They get a crappy player, make an enemy of Portland (who has a billionaire owner willing to spend money), and Portland's cap space goes bye-bye.

i say pop should do it,

reason? DEREK ANDERSON MY.LOYALTY BOLTED to the blazers when he was FA

[pjjrfan]

Didn't the reporters in the room with the Spurs on draft day say that they cheered when Houston took Batum? It doesn't seem like they were dissappointed unless they had planned that way to throw everyone off, somehow I just don't see that.

[Spurtacus]

If not Spurs, somebody should sign him. Screw Portland over.

Oden must have been buying alcohol when he was 12

Why on Earth would you even consider this? Oh yeah, bring a cancer into a healthy body...nothing will happen.

Like i said before someone needs to do thier homework before they look ridiculous.

Interesting. Meanwhile, the Spurs should be concerned about getting past Portland in the playoffs this coming season. They just need some consistency and maturity on that ballclub. 'They good.

[wildbill2u]

This thread looked crazy at first but after some research, TDMVPDPOY may be on to something. If the Spurs are pissed about Batum, all they need to do is sign Miles, let him play some garbage time action and that would force Miles to once again count against the Blazers' salary cap. It could actually end up costing the Blazers a good amount of cap space

It's unlikely but I wouldn't put it past CIA Pop to try to screw over a team who may be trying to cir vent the rules while at the same time trying to settle a grudge.

Sorry, but I can't see the Spurs holding a grudge because some team works a deal in the draft to obtain a player before they could draft him. That is part of the system. Shame on the Spurs if they couldn't figure out a deal coming and trade up to guarantee their preference (if Batum really was their heartfelt draft choice)

And what team FO in their right mind would want to start this type of intercine war in the first place? I don't remember any team trying this type of cutthroat ploy ever. Even as pissed as Cleveland was over the Boozer debacle, I don't think they'll retaliate against Utah.
