The Trail Blazers felt the need to get rid of Darius Miles quickly so they can have more flexibility, although Ricky Davis and Smush Parker were acquired, the Oregonian quotes the Portland GM saying: "This trade was an absolute must for us, not only do we get rid of Darius Miles and his whopper of a contract, we can offer the expiring deals of Ricky Davis and Smush Parker to many teams around the league for some decent parts to fit into our puzzle"
That being said, Portland wishes the best of luck to the 3 departed Trail Blazers and the Miami Heat for their renewed and now improved chances at an attempt at making a run in the Eastern Conference.
The Oregonian quotes Head Coach Nate McMillan: "Wow, a lineup of two O'neals, Wade, Bibby, and now our former super subs, I'm glad we're in another conference, thats fore sure."
Calls to the Miami Heat GM were not immediately returned.
