Miles and Randolph Want Out of JailBlazers

TUALATIN -- Forwards Zach Randolph and Darius Miles said Tuesday what many fans and teammates already had surmised: The two highly paid players no longer know if they want to be part of the Trail Blazers organization.

The gist of Miles' and Randolph's complaints are twofold: They don't like playing on what has turned out to be the NBA's worst team; and they don't care for the discipline meted out by first-year coach Nate McMillan.

Both have privately told teammates, and McMillan, of their desires to leave, but Tuesday was the first time both went public with their feelings.

The complaints came after a draining practice and the day before the end of one of the worst seasons in Blazers history.

The Blazers (21-60) have lost 18 of 19, 33 of 38, and will finish with the NBA's worst record regardless of the outcome of their game tonight at the Rose Garden against the Phoenix Suns (53-28).

Miles, who has four years and $34 million left on his contract, said he doesn't know if he wants to be back after a season during which his health, effort and talent have been in question.

"We will have to sit down and talk," Miles said of his future.

An almost certain topic in Miles' discussions with team personnel will be his relationship with McMillan, who says he probably won't play Miles for the second consecutive game tonight.

The two never meshed as McMillan prodded Miles for more effort and production. Miles distanced himself, complaining of an unresponsive right knee that underwent minor surgery in December, and a reduced role that featured him coming off the bench.

The friction between McMillan and Miles intensified in the last month of the season. Miles was benched for missing a shootaround March 23 in Phoenix, saying he overslept, then last week he was sent home from Los Angeles after he changed into street clothes during halftime of a game against the Clippers.

Randolphs an official douchebag in my list now. I still have hope for Miles, but it seems like the JailBlazer mentality has finally got to him.

And Paul Allen paid them like a trillion $? Smart move,.

Probably a blessing in disguise, they're already one of the worst teams in the league WITH Randolph and Miles. I see no harm in getting rid of them, at least they'll be the worst team in the league without any overpaid cancers.

i hope maybe the knicks can get Miles for francis maybe?

good news for Blazers.....neither is a player you want on your team when rebuilding.

i hope maybe the knicks can get Miles for francis maybe?

Who will point a gun into Nash' head - you or Thomas?

i hope maybe the knicks can get Miles for francis maybe?

A cancer for another cancer? Ahh, the vicious cycle would continue for the poor Knicks and Blazers.

Just watch Knicks gonna get Miles and Randolph and they gonna give up another first and second round pick to get 2 stars. Plus the other stars they got. And they will still finsh 21-61

Miles will be pretty hard to trade...he's got a fat ass contract, no work ethic and he's an underachiever. Only Isiah could get him out of Portland.

I don't think Miles will be too hard to ship off. Once the dust settles I'm sure everyone will still be banking on his amazing length and athleticism. Also take into consideration that he actually looked like he might actually live up to his potential the first few months of this season, but then he got injured....

i hate them both

tonights the last game of the season i will see it without either of them yay

i want to go..but idk if im going to

they would get rid of miles, i dont think they would want to lose randolph

randolph's a fat fuck, get him out of there.

Who wants to paly for the worst team in the nba?

PS.They can call the nlsc crew if there is a lack of ppl playin for them!

Let's bring in Miles !!!

Let's bring in Miles !!!

NO

Let's bring in Miles !!!

Oh my goodness. You want a guy whos whining on a losing team. Bringing him to the Raptors would mean that he'd most likely do what he did to Portland. Lets not forget this guy walked out of the game by the second half in street clothes. What kind of player would do something like that? It tells you a lot about his character.

miles and randolf for Stromile, rodney carney, and david wesley or rafer alston

Since when do the Rockets have Rodney Carney?

if they draft him.



well here's another i dea

miles and randolf for grant hill travis diener and darko i guess

miles and randolf for Stromile, rodney carney, and david wesley or rafer alston

huh? The rockets wont even draft Carney. He won't be there that late.

well wesley and alston

I don't think the Magic will trade Darko even for Miles and Randolph. He's probably got a good chance of making all defensive team soon, and he'll develop better in the near future.

YEA DARKO IS GREAT AT BLOCKING!!!

fuck up you retarted cunt, spell Randolph correctly.

Anyways, wow, that's all I can say. They're the main reason I bandwagoned the Blazers and they both want out.

I'd trade them for Starbury. I wants Starbury in Portland
