Darius Miles Works Out For Clippers


Look who's trying to come back to the L.A. Clippers? Darius Miles. The Clippers really have nothing to lose with signing him with an open roster spot. Head coach and GM Mike Dunleavy is interested in Miles coming back:

"We have an extra roster spot. He is starting to work out for teams. And so, we're just looking into the situation."

No one has anything to lose, except the Portland Trail Blazers. If Miles plays 10 games, after he serves his 10-game suspension, the Blazers will have his $9 million salary on their cap. Miles signed with the Boston Celtics to play on their pre-season roster. He hadn't played since the beginning of the 2005-06 season. The C's didn't have a spot on their roster and had to cut him. He scored 11 points through 6 games with the team.

The Clippers are a team no one ever thought possible. They have Baron and Ricky Davis, Zach Randolph, Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman and possibly Miles. They have as many potential and former all-stars on the team as they do wins. They're 4-17. They've got nothing to lose in what is already a dismal season. On top of that, the Clippers have been hit with injuries all season. Both Baron and Ricky Davis, Kaman and Camby have been hit. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a full roster. If Miles is good enough to play, they should sign him.
