Have Blazers Been Bad-Mouthing Miles?


Oct 26, 2008 4:35 PM EST
The Celtics have been praising Darius Miles, whom they recently released, but two NBA general managers claim that the Blazers have been bad-mouthing the free agent forward.

Miles was bothered by both injuries and off-the-court problems during his five seasons in Portland and was waived April 14. However, if he plays in ten games over the next two seasons, the Blazers will be on the hook for $18 million in salary.

"He can still play, and he also hasn't played in two years, so you have to understand that he will get better," one NBA GM said.

"Too bad Portland is putting out bad information that he is not a good kid. Anything and everything they can say bad they are. It's too bad. He's a nice kid with a bad injury who has fought back. Right now, he's still an NBA player, and he's going to get better. He's going to improve. It will be a smart pick-up for someone."

The Blazers don't need to bad-mouth him. His actions speak for him.

He deserves at least another 10-game chance.
