Darius Miles with Bobcats in spirit

It really has been too long since last post. Call it a combination of "important" deadlines to meet and of having to endure so much Blazers pointguard talk that my immune system finally shut down in defense. If there were a Blazers blog emperor (Dave?), I would formally request this deity to order a week long stoppage on all Blazers pointguard speculation. Just long enough for us all to get a little sanity back. Naturally, I would sign this request with seppuku.

In any event, this post is about remembering friend of the blog Darius Miles. We haven't heard much from the guy since Blazers put the waiver process in motion. I admit an odd curiosity with seeing what he ends up doing and where he ends up doing it. When I saw this post at Deadspin, I got to thinking maybe Big Pun is trying to make a good first impression with Mr. Jordan.

Note to Larry Brown: I'm just making a dumb donk-related joke, don't combust. Wait until the season actually starts to do that.

Are ugly cars part of the new Blazer Culture?

Being as I love when the Blazers are in stories that don't involve police, drugs, dogs, or strippers, I was happy to see Deadspin point out Brandon Roy's car for sale on ebay. As is usually the case, after it showed up on Deadspin it popped up all over the web and especially on Blazer sites as there really is nothing else to write about right now.

Look at that beauty, drink it in my friend. Hard to believe this baby still has zero bids. Over the weekend I tried to contact the seller, because there just has to be an awesome story behind this.

I imagine if you handed me my first NBA paycheck, I would go on a brief crazy shopping bonanza. This would probably involve buying a big house and then installing a go kart track...inside, that can take you through every room and up (and down!) all the staircases. I promised myself this when I was 10 and I'm not letting go so easily. I wonder if this is car is Roy's version of my go kart track in the house. I mean, if he actually thought this was a good idea, it would still be in his garage right?

Not to be outdone by anyone (statement applies to non-basketball related areas only), pictures of Big Pun's (aka Darius Miles) ride surfaced on the OregonLive Blazer's Blog. Roy's car is a beige Ford Taurus compared to this:

Darius Miles has signed up with the Donk scene in a major way. After this, I can't wait to see what Petteri Koponen is rolling these days. You don't just drop 19 and 7 against Luxembourg in the U-20 Euro Championship B-Level Competition and NOT raise your street status, you know? I was thinking something along these lines:
