The Saga Ends

Memphis signed Darius Miles to a contract through the end of the year. This essentially ends any sort of legal challenge that the Blazers might have had over the intentions of the Grizzlies signing Miles solely to harm the Blazers' salary cap standing.

This should hopefully end the saga of Darius Miles' knee comeback as it relates to the Trailblazers. While it is interesting that Memphis thinks that Miles can back as a backup center (imagine him trying to guard Greg Oden on the block), it is good that he is able to have another shot at realizing the potential that he came into the association with.

Also as there is now no way the Blazers would act on their threat to pursue legal action in the infamous e-mail, the other GMs of the NBA should stop playing the role of offended playmate and begin to discuss ways to pick up the expiring contract that is Raef LaFrentz.
