I really think it's helped him understand how much he loves the game how much he has missed competing. I think we're going to see that good Darius Miles when he's ready to play and he's going to remind everyone just how talented a ball player he really is.

Their only hope to get rid of him is that he plays well enough for a short period of time before the trading deadline and they move him He won't finish the year with Portland. PS The head bump is the worst "celebration" ever. Even more annoying the Stromile's weird flapping bird thing he does when he dunks. They’re only doing this because Oden isn’t playing this year.

Also, I like the fists to the head bump. Favorite on-court celebration to do/see. I guess I owe that to D-Miles. Thanks, Darius.

Man i thought he had all the potential in the world and a part of me thinks he still does. He's gotta show and prove now. Those surgeries are dicey at best and who knows how much of the old Miles will come back as far as athleticism goes. I hope he proves everybody wrong though....

(cough) Honestly, .. good luck getting rid of D-miles and his $26 million contract.

But it was starting to show! IF he gets his tude in check & puts forth the effort the Blazers will be one badass team! Time will tell!

No, no, and no. First of all, his value as a veteran is nil. He epitomizes the stereotypes of the young player skipping college, making it to the pros, and never reaching his potential (other than Jonathan Bender). Secondly, and maybe most importantly, is his value as a player. His entire game before was predicated on his athleticism and explosiveness. This is exactly why I worry about Amare and Dwight Howard - I'm afraid that if a player bases his game JUST ON THAT, and then they get injured, what do they have left? Not saying that D-Ho or STAT are anything like Darius in terms of work ethic, but it's a cautionary tale (see K-Mart's inconsistent return). Aside from the character influence…no. No, no, and no.
