Darius Smiles?

PrintAssuming the Grizzlies decide to incur our eternal vengeful wrath by playing Darius those two more games, and also assuming any appeals we put forth to the league are shot down, his contract goes back on our books, blah blah blah. Could we then trade his expiring contract season after next? Oh, how sweet would that be? It would make me so happy if KP could flip that deal! I would forever aurally associate Mr. Miles name as "Darius Smiles" in my mind. Oh, let us all perform whatever good luck rituals we believe in to make this so! Either way, I encourage every fan at the Rose Garden to fist-bump their noggins every time our Blazers score against those darn Grizzlies, forevermore. I love you Portland! Go BLAZERS!!!

KP has made chicken soup out of chicken crap before.
He’ll do his job and the organization will be fine whatever happens.

Short answer: No
That would only have worked if KP had sent Darius home without pay, which is possible under the current CBA (see Tinsley, Jamaal). But then a) we would not have opened up a roster spot and b) the salary would have been on our cap and c) no insurance would have paid 60% of it. Then he could have become an expiring contract in 2010 that could have been traded. You can be pretty sure nobody would have traded for him before the 2010 deadline. Nobody wants to give him a guaranteed contract now, so nobody would have traded for Darius with a $18 million price tag. And a team that would have traded for him couldn’t even have filed for medical retirement, that’s only possible for the team that had a player when the injury occurred.
I think you meant to type "if KP had sent Darius home with pay," which would've been the smartest ...
decision looking back on this in hindsight. In the spring of 2010, Miles’ expiring contract worth $9 million would’ve been a nice trade chip; plus, him being the 15th man on the roster and occupying a nice, warm spot on the inactive list — while staying home, of course — wouldn’t’ve been a big deal.
Anyway, in answer to the question posed by this thread’s author, Portland doesn’t have the rights to trade Miles. The Memphis Grizzlies can’t trade Miles elsewhere, too, which is because the team signed him to a contract within the past three months.
Then,
There would be no Shavlik for to be pummeled by Oden and Przybilla.
Everybody was a baby once, Arthur. Oh, sure, maybe not today, or even yesterday. But once. Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future, like leathery footballs of hope. And you've got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception.
