<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Portland Trail Blazers agreed to terms with restricted free agent Darius Miles on Tuesday.

Details of the contract were not immediately released. The Blazers have scheduled a news conference on Wednesday.

Miles was acquired by Portland last season in a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers for guard Jeff McInnis and seldom-used center Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje.

The 6-foot-9 forward provided an instant boost to the Blazers both on the court and in the locker room.</div>

its about time.

ESPN report the deal is 48 million over 6 years. Im happy. This is the only offseason moves so far im excited about.

 

[MaxaMillion711]

what about NVE? im extremely excited to see what he can bring to the team.

NVE is gonna bring you some Clutch performances. That Kobe fiasco wont happen again. Signing Darius is a great pick-up since the only time I saw consistency from him was in Portland. And the first good looking contract for both sides in this off-season, but Adonle Foyle is now getting more money than Darius Miles. Thats a disgrace.

I'm really glad we kept him. This isn't the most exciting off season move for me so nothing else to add....

The Portland Trail Blazers agreed to a six-year, $48 million contract with restricted free agent Darius Miles on Tuesday, sources tell ESPN Insider Chad Ford.

The Blazers have scheduled a news conference to announce the deal Wednesday, when Miles is expected to sign the contract.

A 6-foot-9 forward, Miles was a breakout performer for the Blazers over the last two months of last season, averaging 12.6 points and 4.5 rebounds in 42 games after being acquired from Cleveland for guard Jeff McInnis and seldom-used center Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje. Moreover, Miles' production was going up as the season wound down, and he was a big part of the team's late playoff push

Very nice signing by the Blazers. He was crucial to their playoff run last year, even though they didn't make it. This year, Miles-Randolph-Ratliff could be one of the best front courts in the NBA.

You gotta love him,BUT this is way too much!! Rodney white wants like half of that!
I knew Nash don't have a poker face! :thumbsdow :thumbsdow

Well it looks like Darius Miles might finally be able to settle down for a part of his career,he can be a really nice addition to the Blazers if he stays consistant and it finally looks like he will stay consistant.

No he's not. It's a 41 million dollar contract with a team option the last year so it's 31....
