    I think it's a long shot that Miles will end up in NJ and his character issues are exactly what we don't need.

    I remember when he and Quentin Richardson were supposed to be the next big things. That worked out real well.

    We really don't need him around.

    Rod Thorn is someone that I could see signing Miles and playing him 10 games just to spite the Blazers

    Otherwise, he is useless

    Thorn should sign Miles and hold the Blazers hostage threating to play Miles 10 games unless they give up Rudy Fernandez in a trade.

    His salary goes back on the Blazers books which impacts their luxury tax status

    It is just money to Paul Allen and he'd pay it to keep Rudy

    It would also mess up their cap space. The Blazers are going to have the cap room to offer someone a max contract next year.

    I liked Darius when he first came into the league while he was with LAC. He showed some promise and I believe won the MVP of the Rookie-Sophmore game.

    Only if they renounce players like Webster, Frye and Diogu. Cap holds are a bitch

    Even if it messes up their cap space I don't think its that big of a deal. Then instead they can try to make a trade at the deadline using Raefs expiring contract.

    He should retake the SAT and go to college. He's got the cash to pay for it. He should do it now before he blows the money on something stupid.

    That's what i'm hoping for. All I was saying is that several teams have had interest in him including the Celtics where he has a shot of going to.
