    And we've hit at the core of the Miles Problem. If you relied on your explosiveness and didn't use the time when you were athletic to develop your skill level, are you still an NBA-level player when the special athletic ability disappears?

    This concern I also have with Travis Outlaw. One day he's not going to be able to be open just by jumping really high.

    So if you are Danny Ainge are you so intent on revenge that you take a risk by signing Miles over Sam Cassell for the remaining roster spot?

    Last week Cassell was saying he was signing a one year deal this week.

    One would think that would mean Miles chance at making the Celtics might be over.

    Either that or Bill Walker is out. If it were me, I'd rather roll the dice on Walker.

    agreed.

    Why dump walker to take a flyer on Miles?

    For the same reason Jerry Seinfeld tried to return a jacket: Spite.
