More on Darius Miles

[P2]

He seems to be doing alright in this video recorded after his injury. Wish there was some more footage though...

Great video, TP. I really hope he'll be The Truth's backup during the regular season.

Somebody has probably already said something about this but i want to see if I understand this right.

All the Celts need to do is play Miles in 10 games, then they can cut him and they'd only get stuck on the salary cap for a one year min contract, whereas the Blazers would get stuck on that whole other contract he had? If that's true then I have to suspect that the move is more aimed at crippling the Blazers

The Celtics don't have to wait 10 games before cutting Miles. If Ainge thinks Miles can help, he won't be here for 10 games and then cut him, it would be quite moronic to do when we're in tax land. If Ainge doesn't expect Miles to stay with the Celtics, he won't even make it to the roster.

I doubt it, since that would ruin any trades ainge wants to make with them for the next 50 years.

It would also not play well with the other GM's, who would feel that ainge is underhanded.

I think its more about seeing if they can pick up a former very, very good SF for peanuts, and if they can't, being able to cut him.

Screwign the blazers for no reason would be the dumbest thing of all time.
