Remember him?

I found this little blurb on www.hoopshype.com, maybe some good news for the Blazers concerning Darius Miles after all.

"While the immediate future brightened, the long-term financial standing of the Blazers inched closer to a positive resolution. General manager Kevin Pritchard said Darius Miles was examined by an independent doctor in New York on Wednesday to determine if the injuries to his right knee are career ending. Pritchard said he is "optimistic" the doctor's ruling -- which should be finalized by early next week -- will find Miles' to be physically unable to play. If that indeed is the case, the Blazers can waive Miles and will receive $18 million in cap relief from the final two years of his contract. In two years that cap relief, along with the expiring contract of Raef LaFrentz ($12.5 million), figures to make the Blazers a major player in the free agent market in the summer of 2009. Oregonian"
