Ready To Play?
Darius Miles | Trail Blazers
Darius Miles says he's ready.
"It's up to (team officials) now," he says. "I can play. I can practice any day they practice. There's no pain in the knee. I'm ready to go."
Will he push the Blazers to get back in action?
"I've been doing that," Miles says.
Though everyone skips around the issue, part of the Blazers' concern is, with the team playing so well, Miles' return could disrupt the chemistry. He's not exactly been a character guy in the past, and there are questions about how he will fit in. -- The Portland Tribune
Risk our recent success and showcase him? Let him rot at the end of the bench, get disgruntled and potentially cause internal problems? Has he matured enough to understand that he may still have a lot of work to do yet before he is actually ready to play in the NBA again? Would he accept reduced role? Is he even better than anyone else on the team at SF right now? Dammit man! I was glad to hear he was on his way back to being ready to play not too long ago, but the last update I heard was before we were playing well. I hope this doesnt end up screwing anything up.
