Quote:
Miles wouldn't commit to either wanting to remain in Portland or wanting to leave, but said he plans to discuss the franchise's direction with Blazers management after the season.
"I don't know," Miles said when asked if he'd prefer to play with a different team next season. "I'll talk to Nate, talk to the management when the season's over with, and we're gonna come up with something.
"If I really don't feel like I want to go in the direction that they want to go in, probably another decision will be made. But right now I'm here."
Blazers general manager John Nash said Miles has not expressed a need to discuss the franchise's direction.
Blazers coach Nate McMillan said he has asked Miles if he wants to remain in Portland or leave, and has received an answer. But McMillan declined to comment on that conversation.
"This is not the time to talk about it," McMillan said.

Re: Miles not certain he wants to return
Heh. I don't think losing Miles would be the biggest deal in the world, but if he honestly could say that he wanted to come back to this Blazers team I would be shocked.

Re: Miles not certain he wants to return
Earth to Miles... It's a non-issue no one here wants you to stay with the exception of Paul Allen possibly.

Re: Miles not certain he wants to return
But if Darius leaves, who will the fans direct their wrath on next?

Re: Miles not certain he wants to return
At this point, Darius has probably played himself out of any opportunity to get moved in the offseason anyway. Like it or not, we're stuck with the guy. Should have traded him when we had the chance.
Who the hell, outside of the Knicks, would take this guy off of our hands?

Miles played well for the first month this season, averaging 18.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and shooting 49 percent from the field.
|
I don't think there is any reason he can't duplicate that on a healthy knee; as long as he is the starting SF on a team he wants to play for; one that has at least a chance to make the playoffs. Heck, he did it here, and everyone, including Miles, had to know we had no chance to make the playoffs.
I'd like to see him come back with the same desire he showed at the beginning of the year. Barring that, just identify the teams that he is good enough to start for, and I'm sure any of them would have some interest in Miles. In New York, he'd probably be an all-star.

my guess is whoever is the next guy to call his coach a ******, play half *** defense, and play like he doesn't care one way or the other.

Re: Miles not certain he wants to return
They will have to give him the opportunity to get a couple of good games in before they will be able to trade him.
