  • You know my methods, Watson.
i saw that as well...GREAT news.  glad to see wallace stick it to portland.  they were trying to bully the league and they lost.  even the players union was willing to file a grievance on behalf of miles.

plain and simple, portland took a gamble and lost...i hope miles gets the necessary games in and then cuts him loose.  that would be even funnier.  lawsuit city...

Umm, what?  Why did they release him to begin with?  So he wouldn't be guaranteed?

Is a trade coming?
God bless and good night!

Hahahaha Awesome. Portland totally, TOTALLY deserves it.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Yeh, they didn't want his origional contract guaranteed. This new contract is only a Ten-day'er

This probably was the plan well before that email came out.  It made much more sense financially to cut him, and resign him to a 10 day deal, in order to give him more of a proper tryout.
