 Suns again trying to lure Barry to Phoenix
Still looking for a short-term solution to their lack of shooters, the Suns are taking a second shot at coaxing Brent Barry to Phoenix. But much like his most particular prowess — Barry is one of the top 3-point shooters around — the chances of getting him are a long shot. [link]

Raptors summer league roster and Joey’s on it (again)
Published 7/8/2008 by Arsenalist at Arsenalist
... Skipping along to other NBA happenings, Darius Miles is impressing the Suns and Celtics. If only a team could get this guy to play hard and with a minimal amount of common sense, he’d be a valuable component of any team given his athleticism. I do like how the Celtics reach for untapped reserves though, they picked up PJ Brown out of nowhere and arguably without him they don’t win the title, I wouldn’t be shocked if playing for a title contender might spark Miles. After all this is the first time he’ll play for a team not destined for the lottery. ...

Sixers & Brand?

... Speaking of the 'anything is possible' department, Phoenix is inquiring about Darius Miles. Why? I have no clue. I will tell you this. The owner of the Suns, Robert Sarver seems like the vindictive type. That Pritchslap that resulted in both James Jones and Rudy Fernandez for money doesn't sound so great now huh? Yes I'm paranoid but I would not put it past Sarver to sign Miles just to do it. I mean the guy has been selling draft picks for years he doesn't care. ...

Suns Might Save Blazers From the Potential Disaster That Is Darius Miles
Published 7/8/2008 at The Sporting Blog
[image] If you're a big fan of the salary cap, you've probably heard that Portland is screwed if Darius Miles plays 10 games or more and thus, is no longer retired. In a blink, Pritchard -- front office darling of the moment --- could have a $27 million problem on his hands. Of course, that would require some other team seeing something in Miles, and deigning to sign him and pay the decrepit, one-time prodigy, some coin. Hark, the Phoenix Suns beckon. From the East Valley Tribune : Phoenix has also inquired about Portland forward Darius Miles. Miles missed all of the last ...

Darius Miles Could Really Screw the Blazers
Published 7/8/2008 by Matt Watson at FanHouse
... to pay the man, that doom and gloom prognosis allowed the team to shave the remaining $18 million he's due over the next two years off the salary cap. But there's a catch: in order for the Blazers to stay in the clear, Miles can't return to the NBA -- or more specifically, he can't appear in at least 10 games over the next two years. Trouble is, that's exactly what he's trying to do. The Boston Globe says he had "an impressive workout" with the Celtics, and the East Valley Tribune reports (via Shoals) the Suns ...
