    I wouldn't be surprised if Wallace told Iavaroni and told him to play Miles for a little. He'll probably play 2 to 3 minutes.

    1st quarter substitutions for Memphis:

    Warrick, Buckner and Conley.

    I'm going to say no. Not tonight. I'm going to put my eggs in the conspiracy theory basket.

    He waits until after the trade deadline?

    Re: Will Miles play tonight?

    Actually that is why I started the thread. I don't buy it . . . but some prior GM (I think) raised the issue and BNM put out a very thoughtful post on the issue. Again I don't buy it, but it made me think and watch the development of the Memphis game.

    Personally I hope he plays the first 2 games (even gets signed for the rest of the year), Blazers announce they do not plan to take action and this story can slowly go away. I don't even care if it looks like Blazers have egg on their face . . . maybe it will divert the whole bully image.

    When Cleveland gets up 100-75 with 1:46 left, then yes, we will see Darius dusted off the bench.

    Re: Will Miles play tonight?

    I think the real question is how many games before he blows his knee out again?

    Re: Will Miles play tonight?

    If it's inevitable (and not because I'm a heartless jerk), then I'd say the sooner the better. It would give the Blazers more leverage to appeal to the league to honor the medical retirement and keep his $$ off our cap.

    Darius has played 6 minutes and has laid an egg. No stats.

    He looks decent enough for a guy two years removed from the league.

    Goodbye, capspace.
