Marc Spears reports in the Globe that the Celtics are still interested in Darius Miles. Miles hasn't played for 2 years after suffering what was diagnosed as a career ending injury. Unlike when the Celtics requested cap relief when Reggie Lewis died, the league granted the Blazers relief from Miles' salary. The fun part of this is that if Miles signs with a team and plays 10 games, the Blazers are on the hook for the remainder of the 18 million they owed him for the 2 years that were...

    The Miles debacle reminds me of our lengthy payment installments w/ Bryant Reeves...I think Posey played a critical part in the Celtics run... If they want to run to Europe, let them go...The league obviously needs major improvement or this wouldn't even be an issue... When is it going to be addressed!?!?!?!? Got to start somewhere... I don't think you can attribute all of the Europe controversy to the globalizaiton of basketball... Maybe the value of the dollar v.s. the Euro directly relates to the value of the NBA v.s. International BBall?

    how is biedrins overpaid? Most Centers are paid in the ten to 11 mil range, and biedrins shot over sixty percent last year and nearly a double double in 27 mpg.

    Biedrins is not overpaid!!!! The way he rebounds I'm surprised that other teams did try and scoop him up...he is an important part of the warriors line up and the way he played this season showed us what he can really do with the right amount of minutes. Plus he had come a long way from being a the "Minute Man"
