Miles has two games left to affect Blazers cap
Blazers Blog — ... after appearing in two games for the Grizzlies. Miles is required to appear in at least 10 games to get thrown back on the Blazers' books. Well, as Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports informs late tonight , the magic number is now down to two as it appears the preseason games Miles played for the Boston Celtics actually count as game action. Most of the NBA believed Miles still was eight regular-season games away from devastating the Blazers salary cap, but Yahoo! Sports learned on Wednesday that Miles is just two games away. Teams had been under the impression that the ...

Portland's Darius Miles Peril Close, Or Is It?
The Sporting Blog — ... But the real story, as it's been all season, is how close Miles can get to sullying that salary cap Eden Kevin Pritchard has so carefully constructed down in Portland. Today, Adrian Wojnarowski reports a shocker: Those preseason games Miles played for Boston count toward that magic, or Satanic, number of ten, which means Darius just needs two more active appearances to kill an entire city's dreams. And that Portland's known this all along—they've just had no reason to spill the beans of doom. ...

Should He Stay, Or Should He Go?
Depressed Fan — With trade rumors flying and the trading deadline fast approaching, this franchise is going to have to make a tough decision. Right now, Andre Miller is playing his best ball of the season, and he's honestly matching the season he put up last year. Miller's re-emergence as a premier point guard couldn't have come at a better time for a couple of reasons. One, the team needs him now more than ever. It appears as though they've started their patented second half run ahead of schedule this season, and he's a key ingredient in the team's improved play. Two, if the Sixers are going to make an impact trade at or before the deadline, it's going to mean either Ed Stefanski was able to pull the wool ...

NBA Rumor Mill: Portland's Never-Ending Nightmare
MVN Outsider — For anybody who's gotten divorced or gone through a messy breakup and can say that they've never seen or heard from their ex again, send your sympathies to the Portland Trail Blazers. That's because the Blazers, who signed Darius Miles to a six-year, $48 million deal in 2004, are still trying to clean up that mess. Miles, who last suited up for the Blazers in 2005-06 (and even then he only played half the season), was released by the team last April. Miles' knee injury was declared as "career threatening," which led to the Blazers requesting waivers for his release. If he wanted to, Miles could still sign with any team. But if he played at least 10 games before the ...
