Miles' trip ends one game early

The Blazers forward is sent home, with more penalties possible, after he changes out of uniform Wednesday

Friday, April 14, 2006
JASON QUICK
The Oregonian

LOS ANGELES -- The Trail Blazers on Thursday told Darius Miles to leave the team and return to Portland, one day after the troubled forward took off his uniform and changed into street clothes at halftime of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

"We are not going to accept that type of behavior," coach Nate McMillan said.

Blazers general manager John Nash said further disciplinary action was levied, but he refused to specify the penalty, and McMillan said harsher penalties could follow once he and Nash meet Saturday in Portland with team President Steve Patterson and Miles. McMillan said that as of Thursday, Miles had not been suspended.

"That's something we haven't determined exactly," McMillan said. "We will decide after talking about this and communicating with (Miles) exactly what he needs to do."

Miles will miss tonight's game against the Lakers, and his status for Saturday's home game against Golden State will be determined when, or if, Miles attends the Saturday morning shootaround in Tualatin, Nash said.

Nash, who is in Los Angeles with the team, was brief talking about the discipline Thursday.

"I think that there may have been a misunderstanding or miscommunication, but the player doesn't have the prerogative to make himself unavailable to play by changing out of his uniform into his street clothes," Nash said.

McMillan said he told Miles before the game that his intent was to play Travis Outlaw and Viktor Khryapa at small forward, but that he wanted Miles to be ready in uniform on the bench.

"He knew exactly what the plan was," McMillan said.

they need to handle their business like portland did. steph should've been reprimanded back during the first of the "starbury" comments. and now he said it again...and is asking for a podium.

we are run by a bunch of baffoons.

It started early when Marbury was ushered in as "the most important person in the franchise after Dolan" and Chaney was led out of the Garden in shackles.

Like Portland. The Knicks are bad but they can say they kept their s$$t legal. Allen's team can't say that. Peter V. said it best, how could you suspend Marbury without first suspending Brown. That's why Dolan and Thomas had to talk to both of them.

teams like Portland and NY spent and spent and anointed players superstars before they won anything. Many of these guys got shoe contracts Francis, Miles, Starbury before they ever got out of the first round of the playoffs. They equated success with money and not winning. Now we can't understand why we can't reign these guys in. And as soon as a coach decides to, we want them fired. Portland let it go for a few years and look at the state of the franchise. You cannot win with the inmates running the place. Now they are finally doing something. We have let it go for 7 years and pretended it wasn't true. This offseason will tell us a lot about whether we are finally ready to do something.

If you believe that, should Larry also be penalized for some of his comments about his players in the press..In my opinion, Larry's comments was far more damaging to the outcome of the season that any comments Marbs ever made...

Actually neither of their comments should matter. Marbs can say whatever he wants if he goes out and plays hard on teh court. He can say LB is a senile old fool, if he goes out there and does what LB says. You cannot win unless everyone is on the same page and some of our guys refuse to get on the same page. That's our issue.

That's what happens when you have the inmates running the asylum and Gomer Pyle (Isiah) as the Warden.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say this has the happening for the last seven years..

That's exactly what has been going on for 7 years. Latrell and Camby led a cout-de tat and it's been this way ever since. Players before coach. Individuals before team. Saviors, saviors, everywhere saviors. And as soon as something goes wrong, point a finger and fire that person. One day we will get it right and make a turnaround.

Come on Bip...JVG didn't want to start Latrel and didn't want to play Camby in revolt for Grenfeld trading Oakman for him...JVG was very upset about the trade but it was a good move for the Knicks...You are playing that one up a bit don't you think...Camby said he should be getting more playing time and so did Sprewell at the time and they were right....In no way was that a revolt against the coach...They played hard every time they got in the games....The bigger fight in the organization at the time was between Grenfeld and JVG....If you ask me, the wrong guy lost that battle......

Sometimes the coach is wrong. It happens.

Is it okay for the coach to criticize management? Isn't that similar to players criticizing their coach?

We're not talking about the military are we?

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Paul Allan shot down Hardaway for Mile-Radcliff. Thank you!

Miles has been a piece of dung for some time now.

He would have fit in great with our group!

I agree.. thank you Paul Allen... He turned it downed cause he was turned on by Miles play and didn't want to give uhim up.. THANK GOD!!! That dude is garbage..

Someone from this website said Miles and QWoods are simliar players.. I do not think so.. This player names Miles cares about himself and not willing to learn...

QWoods, at least is buying into LArry's plan and knows his role..
