hear me out, a couple possible scenarios. we keep him as the 15th man inactive, ala marbury, and still have his 09 expiring contract to deal next trade deadline. we play him hard in practice till his knees turn to dust. we apply for cap relief at the end of THIS season.if he comes back next year, who cares, we already used the damn cap room. we kinda shot our wad, so to speak.
I think we hoped that Darius would just keep on being the lazy POS that he was... but when Miles smelled more cash, he was off his ass and on a treadmill.
