    Darius Miles is eligible to play starting Sunday. Should be interesting to see if he can make it to 10 games played.

    He isn't going to play a minute most likely.

    All they have to do is put him in for 1 second for 10 games and we're screwed 9 million. UGH!

    I thought we could protest that if it came down to some team just screwing us like that. Chris Wallace... worst GM in the NBA.

    KP said in the Q&A at Hadens that ABM arranged that the Blazers absolutely would file a protest if Darius managed to play for 10 games this season.

    Oh if that's the case, play him. We're going to loose anyway. Might as well piss a Western Confernce rival while we are at it. :lol:

    I don't know what he could protest, unless he intended to keep him instead of waive him if found viable as a player by the NBA, and I doubt that was his intention. If Darius is NBA capable, is it really ethical to try and stop him from playing? If it's the NBA's fault, then we'd still have him on our roster if they had made the right call. I don't like it, but I don't know what could be done about it.
