What happen to Darius Miles?

Our GM thinks he still can play, can we still sign him for cheap?

I don't know what team you represent but for the Grizz his signing does not make any sense. We have (2) young power forward behind Randolph and still may sign Warrick. While he is clearly not what he used to be he does show flashes. He can probably play 10 minutes a game and not on back to back nights. That could change if his legs get stronger but last year he didn't particular show he was getting better physically so it is a risk. The question is do you take a roster spot from a younger guy who will be a lot cheaper or sign Darius at the veterans minimum but only expect very little?

He was busted for possession not too long after the season ended. Nothing major, just another ding on his record.

He just got waived.

He served his purpose last season, no reason to keep him around now.

Have at him. Maybe he'll be of some use to another team.

It's ok. You have your punishment. You have Zach Randolph now.
