Miles returns to practice (O-Live)
I never thought it would happen. Color me skeptical.
Put me in the group that feels that if he can't return to the point where he can play a whole game without causing me to think 'he's dogging it' or 'taking games off' (be it due to his injury or his attitude), he shouldn't be playing at all.

I agree
I can't get angry at him bitching out Cheeks, because I'm assuming it was maybe as deserved as Z-Bo breaking Ruben's eye socket (Ruben had it coming; Z-Bo did it for America). I was/am annoyed with Miles's on the court play and how he under utilizes his amazing natural talent, and I am skeptical about how useful he'll be now that he has likely lost his greatest asset (explosive athleticism), but I can't hate the guy.
It'll be good for the team if he comes back strong, so we can move him. We should all hope for the best, and remember the things he actually did wrong (not try) and not pretend he did Jail Blazer type ish.

Rehab is one thing, game readiness is another
Personally, I'm happy for Darius. Who knows yet if he'll ever make it back to complete NBA form but I have to give him props for getting as far as he has. Also, the talked about his right knee, but didn't he get surgery on both?

Deference to Nate and the coaching staff.
"If I had my wish, I'd be playing tomorrow," he said. "My confidence is so high. Like I said, it has to be up to Coach Nate. If they come to me and ask me, I'm gonna be like, 'Yeah, I'm ready.' It's really up to them. They know the truth and they know what to do."
I like this comment because it demonstrates a deference toward the coaching staff that defies his previous actions and attitudes. Hopefully he keeps this attitude even if the coaches decide he won't get to start again.

Hendrickson
Maybe he can start playing after the All-Star break when some of the guys will no doubt start tiring. If he keeps the positive attitude he'll be welcome.
