Yeah, but besides that missed dunk, he hasn't looked that bad.
ah, well. the point is memphis had the balls to play him today.
Yeah, but besides that missed dunk, he hasn't looked that bad.
with every darius miles point, portland's argument sinks even deeper in the muck.
Along with their chances of getting anywhere near the salary cap without some big sacrifices.
LMAO! Miles has 11 points in 11 minutes. Pretty hard to buy Portland's evaluation of him.![]()
Spurs shoulda signed him. He's KG lite and he can be the long athletic 3 they're looking for.
Miles will play only a couple more games this season. Book it.
Portland is a de able franchise. They tried to prematurely end the poor guy's career so Mr. Billionaire Allen can save a few dollars. Kill yourself Portland. You'll never win anything that overrated squad anyhow.
11 points in 11 minutes???? id trade luke, vlad, mihm, powell, mbenga, and yue for him.
The Blazers sure made a big deal out of it. Trying to cir vent the cap three times over one player is a big deal.
D-Miles looked pretty good tonight, other than that hilariously botched dunk. I kind of like Portland, but I sure as don't feel sorry for them. I hope D-Miles s up their salary cap good and proper.
one more game and you can flush this turd down the toilet.

Next Time Miles Plays, Blazers Lose Big
By Andrew Ayres | ESPN.com
Cancel that order for a Hoveround power chair. And move all those threatening emails from [email protected] to the spam folder.
Darius Miles is clearly no longer "medically unable to play."
The former Trail Blazer had 13 points in 12 minutes of action in the Memphis Grizzlies' 102-87 loss Tuesday at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He made 4 of 6 field goal attempts and sank 5 of 7 free throws.
Most importantly, if the 27-year-old forward plays Friday against the visiting Jazz (or any other game, for that matter), he'll hit the magic threshold -- 10 games played -- that revokes his status as "medically unable to play."
That means his $9 million salary for this season and next will go back on Portland's salary cap, making them a luxury tax paying team this season and depriving them of $9 million in cap flexibility they would have had next summer.
Miles has played in nine games -- six preseason games for the Boston Celtics, then three regular-season games for the Grizzlies. Miles has not played for Portland since surgery on his right knee in November 2006. Blazers president Larry Miller emailed the other 29 teams last week and threatened legal action if Miles was signed.
Memphis did anyway. The Grizzlies visit Portland on Feb. 18.
that is absolutely hilarious
I think Darius Miles is going to be a factor for them and I think Franchise will be as well eventually. Word has it that he's very motivated to play.
play darius feb 13 when they are at portland.......that would be soooo sweet!
They should do that, but go ahead and play him tonight to get it over with....
DD
Blazers organization look like a bunch of s and they got owned on top of it. love it
Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It. Do. It.
Darius Miles scored 13 off the bench Tuesday in his first game since signing a 10-day contract with Memphis on Saturday. If he plays Friday, Portland will be on the hook for the $18 million and two years remaining on his deal. The Trail Blazers sent out an e-mail warning of possible legal action against any team that signed the free agent, but the Grizzlies added the 6-foot-9 swingman anyway.
