    i believe this was the day that we have been dreading, as he has served his 10 game suspension, and is available to play as of today at 4pm in memphis.

    From what I've read it seems almost a foregone conclusion that he will play in 10+ games this season. Look for KP to get aggressive with RLEC + parts unknown to try and get the guy he wants.

    What's the over/under for how many points he'll score in those 10 games total?

    My guess: 7.5

    For a reserve that's not completely horrible.

    Re: Darius Miles avaliable to play tonight

    Next Saturday is a big day for Miles. Contracts for players who aren't waived by next Saturday, January 10, become guaranteed for the rest of the season. So Miles has four games in the next six days to make enough of an impression on the Grizzlies that they will want to pay him for the reaming 45 games of the season.

    If they do waive him, it makes it easier for another team to pick him up on a 10-day contract (or two) now that he's served his 10-game suspension.

    Not that I wish injury on Miles, but if this did happen, and the Grizzlies are doing this just to mess with Portland's cap space, it would serve them right. According to the NBA collective bargaining agreement:

    Also, if a player is waived prior to January 10 but is injured as a direct result of playing basketball with his team, then his salary is guaranteed until he is ready to play again or until the end of the season, whichever comes first.

    So, if Miles does get injured between now and the 10th and is unable to play for the remainder of the season, the Grizzlies would still have to pay him - and they wouldn't get to screw Portland out of the cap space.

    "Energetic Miles Eligible to Compete for Grizzlies" (team tells him "Don't bother: this team doesn't compete"):

    Personally I hope he plays and plays well. That will force Pritchard into trading Raef's contract instead of waiting for free agency.

    This Raef LaFrentz situation is starting to feel like the 06-07 Paxson situation, where they waited months for a trade and nothing went down.
