Can you believe that Darius Miles is only 26 years old? The guy is a cautionary tale for younger players, but he certainly isn't the first NBA player to fall off after signing his first (and in his case, only) big post-rookie scale contract. Tim Thomas was able to turn one solid month with Phoenix into a second big deal, and has been loafing ever since.
I've got to give Miles some credit for trying to play instead of just sitting back, since he's going to get his money anyways (from an insurance payout). I have a feeling that a healthy Miles playing basketball for the love of the game only will be a different player than the one that we've seen (actually, didn't see) the past few years.
Now Miles probably isn't a great fit for the Cs, since he can't hit the three. I wonder if Ainge believes tha the Cs core has enough character guys that they can afford to take on a question mark or two.
