Uh Oh

Lisa Dillman, LA Times: "The Great Clipper Experiment of 2008-09 continued this week with a new development involving an old player. Former Clippers forward Darius Miles worked out for the team on a scheduled off day Tuesday, one day after the Clippers dropped to 4-17, faltering in the fourth quarter against Orlando. 'We have an extra roster spot,' Clippers Coach and General Manager Mike Dunleavy said Wednesday. 'He is starting to work out for teams. And so, we're just looking into the situation.' Based on what they have seen and what they need, the woefully lacking-in-depth Clippers would jump at signing the 6-foot-9 free agent Miles, who was close to making the Celtics in training camp. The thought is that Boston wanted to keep Miles, 27, but a roster spot simply wasn't available."

This is not good news for Blazermaniacs... I'll keep watching the wire...

Good news is, he'd still have to wait 10 games to play due to suspension, so teams needing depth NOW might go after a D-leaguer...

  1. Darius Miles... what a scheiser!!!

    Think the Blazers are going to make any more trades? They got the exception thingie by trading Ike. Rumors are that Portland might go after Gerald Wallace (ugh), Richard Jefferson or Caron Butler...
