D-Miles Has Impressive Workout For Celtics
Posted by Jeff Sack under NBA Free Agents
The “Boston Globe” reported that the Boston Celtics brought in veteran free agent Darius Miles and that Miles had what is being labeled as an impressive workout. If Miles is healthy and can play for Boston or any other team that would not be good news for the Portland Trail Blazers or their General Manager Kevin Pritchard. Right now Miles salary that is due to him does not count against the Trail Blazers salary cap. D-Miles missed all of last season as he was recovering from surgery on his right knee. The Blazers released him, and as of this moment will not have the salary that is due to him count against Portland’s cap. However if Miles were then to return to any other team within the next two seasons, and play ten games in one season his salary would be back on the Portland ledger. Back in April Pritchard said he was ?optimistic? that the physicians would rule that Miles is physically unable to play, and his NBA career would be over. (Pritchard ?Optimistic? Miles Can No Longer Play.) Frankly the statement made my skin crawl! I would like nothing better than to see? Darius play 11 games, just to stick it to Pritchard. Kevin, Karma will get you every time!

before you sick karma on kevin pritchard, remember that d-miles has been nothing but a cancer to every team he’s played for, and really just the nba in general. he was actually probably the worst member of the jail blazers. he was just awful in cleveland, just so lazy, didn’t know the first thing about basketball.
he is the definition of everything bad about guys jumping from high shool, and never bothering to try getting better after he got his paycheck. to be fair, he’s earned every piece of basketball-related bad karma that comes to him.

He could be a good addition to the Celtics…

If D Miles returns to play 10 games he will not get to play them until he sits out 10. He has been suspended 10 games for violating the drug policy.
Likely from 10 games it was steroids not pot.

Hey Jeff, weren’t we just talking about this guy? When you speak of “the devil” he shows up (not calling D-Miles the devil). I hope he plays next season as well. I think the Celtics should be able to sign him for the league minimum and his salary would really cause the Blazers some problems wouldn’t it?
