No, I don't want that at all. I'd much rather see the Blazers trade SAR - for his sake as well as theirs - and get more of what they need in return. Problem is, that scenario hasn't materialized yet. So, for the moment, the best the Blazers can do WRT SAR is to try to give him time at the 3, 4, and 5 spots to keep his numbers up while they try to find him a new home.
As far as negotiations with Miles go, I have yet to see a direct quote from Miles or his agent saying that Miles is ticked at the Blazers. The only thing I've read on the subject has been from Jason Quick, and his reliability is dubious, at best. And even if Miles is ticked at the Blazers, can he really blame them for not meeting his opening demand? No one else has offered him anything yet.
I personally wouldn't be surprised if Miles isn't too happy right now. He's not getting what he asked for, so why should he be? I'm just saying that I haven't seen a first-hand quote that indicates that he's ticked. So, AFAIC, negotiations with Miles are proceeding along much more 'normal' lines.
