    Only 1 10-day contract by someone would do the trick...

    How is he only 2 games out? Suspension games count or something? He has to step foot on the court, and as far as I know, he has only done that 2 times. Do they count pre season?

    Re: Miles 2 games from counting on the cap

    At what point does this seem premeditated by the league office and they put a stop to teams just trying to hurt our salary cap? Miles is done, if he's signed again it's only to stick it to us. I'd have to think the idiot Stern might want to attempt a little ethics wouldn't you?

    I thought he had to serve the 10 game suspension before the games counted.

    All this does is make the inevitable that much closer.

    This isn't going to do anything to KP's plans if he's really committed to being a player in free agency this summer, it just changes strategy a bit.

    The Blazers should demand a NBA doctor evaluate Darius before he can sign another contract with any team! If he's lame, signing him will be mute except to screw us, thus is should not be allowed!

    Re: Miles 2 games from counting on the cap

    Clearly being cut by the Celtics and the Grizzle must say to the league office he's not much of a player anymore. We also know that no team will keep him longer than a month. How could this be allowed?

    Re: Miles 2 games from counting on the cap

    I would imagine the Blazers signing him would throw out the 10 game thing, and eliminate the capspace immediately, since they are the team trying to get the medical excemption.

    You could always sign Darius Miles to be an assistant coach though.

    What a bunch of crap. Preseason games don't count toward anything. Ten-day contract, here it comes stupid Darius

    Re: Miles 2 games from counting on the cap

    Celtics/Grizzlies both probably wanted to help in getting him towards his 10 games, but didn't want to completely burn a bridge with Portland. They're just waiting for a team like the Nuggets, a division rival, to deal the final blow.

    I'd bet Memphis would sign him for the last week of the season though if no one else does before then.

    I'm not so sure Miles' contract would put the Blazers in the luxury tax.
