Nope your missing the whole point. That would have worked out had it not been Darius Miles. At no point in his career can you say that Darius Miles has done for this franchise what Brandon Roy has done. It is night and day.

You do not seem to get the fact that when players do not get extensions offered timely they take that as an affront. Look what happened in Chicago when they decided to let a bunch of their guys go for free agency. It completely fucked up one season, and the following season the players under scrutiny played, but they didn't play with their heart for the team. They played for a contract or played to end their contract and get the fuck out of town.

Try learning from history yourelf Ed O. Darius Miles will never ever be 1/10th the player or man that Brandon Roy is. Two completely different situations.

Whether they're the same player or not isn't really relevant, since they're not going to be asking for or receiving the same contract. If Roy's people wanted Darius money (topping out at $9m per) then the deal would be done. Guaranteed.

But he wants max dollars max years, reportedly. Whatever he wants, it's more than the front office, right NOW, wants to give him. You bring up Paul Allen stepping in to give Miles what he wanted (which was, presumably, more than the front office then was willing to give) and I argue that it would be the same kind of mistake.

Paul Allen has hired people to run the team for him. I can understand why he wants to be involved and I think that he SHOULD be a part of the process... but I think that if he short-circuited the process to interfere with the Miles extension it was CLEARLY a mistake and I think that it could very well be a similar mistake if he steps into the middle of the Brandon Roy negotiations and simply hands Roy whatever he wants.
