Darius Miles will not be conducting any interviews with the media this summer.
"He plans to do his talking on the basketball court,'' said his agent, Jeff Wechsler.
Wechsler said Miles' knees are fine and that he has been working out, but at an undisclosed place that only he and the Blazers know of.
There was some other dialogue - ranging from Darius' immediate future with the club, to who is running the show at One Center Court, and about the position Miles finds himself entering training camp - but all that was sworn to off-the-record status.

Portland Trail Blazers rookie power forward LaMarcus Aldridge will undergo surgery to repair a small ligament tear in his right shoulder on Wednesday.
The surgery will be preformed by Dr. Neal Elattrache in Los Angeles. Recovery time will be determined following the procedure.
The 6-11 Dallas native averaged 11.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 blocks in five games during the 2006 Vegas Summer League.
The Trail Blazers acquired Aldridge (second pick overall) and a future second-round draft pick from the Chicago Bulls for forward Viktor Khryapa and the draft rights to Tyrus Thomas (fourth pick overall) on June 28, 2006.
