YEP, THIS FITS THE CODE OF CONDUCT 

Darius Miles, Portland Trail Blazer

The Cavaliers traded Darius Miles today to the Blazers for Jeff McInnis and Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje.

I love days like these, I really do. Today's events mean that I can bring up the Blazers' own "Pledge to Fans".

2. To establish a player code of conduct and to hold our players accountable for their actions both on and off the court.
---Code of conduct created and shared with the team at the start of the season. This code sets clear expectations of our players responsibilities and communicates consequences if not followed.
---We have acted when this code has not been adhered to: examples, Bonzi's issue with fans and coach and Rasheed not speaking to media.


How about these apples???

After playing just eight minutes Saturday in Utah in the final game of Cleveland's road trip and with trade rumors about him circulating, Miles missed practice on Monday, saying he had forgotten to set his alarm clock.

The club was so concerned about Miles' unexplained absence that they sent the police to his house to make sure he was safe.

Miles was fined by the Cavs, but the lanky 6-foot-9 swingman played 17 minutes in Monday's win over Seattle. Miles, who will be a free agent after this season, is making $4.1 million in the final year of his contract.


This is the second time Miles has been traded in his brief 3 and a half year career. He was traded from the Clippers to the Cavs in 2002 for Andre Miller. Yes, the Andre Miller who "wouldn't do sh!t for the Clippers".

I could have sworn that Miles got in legal trouble with marijuana, but I can't find anything on that. But anyways, the Blazers are really trying to clean up their image.....

Yeah, and I'm going to start listening to John Mayer and sing his songs out loud in public. Not going to happen.
