Obviously, there is no honor among some General Managers in the NBA...The Memphis Grizzlies are re-signing Darius Miles ((pictured/thanks Sam Forencich, NBAE)), whose injury is now no-longer career-threatening, to another 10-day contract.
If Miles plays in two more games this season, the Blazers will have to pay out the remaining two years-and-$18-million of his old deal. This would then, by NBA rules, force Portland owner Paul Allen to pay out a dollar-for-dollar penalty for violating the luxury tax guidelines.
Gee, thanks... Now Allen will be forced to sell a few more versions of Vista that people aren't fans of these days.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports looks at it from another owner's standpoint- Cleveland Cavs owner Dan Gilbert. And Gilbert is none too pleased with the Blazers tone of e-mail...
Gilbert admits in an e-mailed response that while the Cavs have no interest in signing Miles, "there has got to be a better tactic than this one."
OSG HQ would suggest that any Blazer who works in their Portland front office not try to get a loan through Quicken any time in the near future.
