Miles Signs With Griz

by Jeff Clark on Dec 13, 2008 10:33 PM EST in NBA Articles

Old friend Darius Miles has signed with the Memphis Grizzlies.

In a move that could damage the salary-cap flexibility of the Portland Trail Blazers, Darius Miles has signed a minimum-salary contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, an NBA source said.

I'd say that they have a little more roster flexibility. Best of luck Darius.

For what it's worth

Im no Griz or Blazer fan’ but i do enjoy watching the Blazers this year though International League Pass (Thank you Stern) that said’ im happy to see Darius Miles get another chance at life in the NBA’

Sure the guy wasnt the most admirable person when he first entered the league’ but after the injury he has worked his behind off to try and break into the league again’ and i can admire such effort and he’ seems to have been humbled by the experience from what i saw of him in Boston.

Its just a shame about the money issue between Portland and Miles’ but with all said and done’ it brings a smile to my face to see him get a chance and im proud to see that Boston had a positive influence in the process of him getting back into the league.

Good Luck Darius’ can’t wait to see what you can do with another full offseason/preseason of work!

I hope he Darrel Arthurs minutes and gets 18pts and 7 boards a night.

Reporter: About a year ago I asked about the Celtics-Lakers thing and you said you'd really only seen it on TV. Now you've been through it, can you talk about playing the Boston Celtics for the NBA championship?
Kobe: It Sucks.

I hope he doesn’t take Arthur’s minutes as DAs on my fantasy team.

Miles seems like the epitomy of redundancy for the Grizz’ roster. After seeing him in preseason, Miles seems like a poor-man’s hybrid version of Gay and Warrick.

Good luck to him.

Shouldn’t we technically not be wishing Darius best of luck? Cause if he somehow tears it up in Memphis, we’ve would’ve missed out on a huge, cheap opportunity
