For those unfamiliar with the Lakers’ designated whiner, Sasha Vujacic has a last name that rhymes with douche-and-bitch — for a good reason. Just ask Chris Paul, who flat out called him a bitch. Which probably explains why products like these are made. For female dogs.

The NBA sent an e-mail to NBA teams this morning. The most obvious information was that as of 10 a.m ET, Darius Miles has cleared waivers and is a free agent. The less obvious, but most meaningful, part of the message came a sentence or two later: The NBA has received the email sent last night by Portland to all teams. Under league rules, teams are free to sign Darius Miles to a Uniform Player Contract...

Despite an IMDB entry starring alongside Scarlett Johansson and uh, Matthew Lillard in one of the decade’s top SAT-theft comedies, Darius Miles’ hoops career is in a state of flux today, as the Oregonian’s Joe Freeman explains. The Blazers waived Miles, who had microfracture surgery on his right knee in November 2006, after an independent doctor [...]

“The only good news came in the morning when Jason Kidd told the New York media he would consider the Knicks as a free agent in 2009 to play for Mike D’Antoni and return to some old stomping grounds. Kidd doesn’t look so great anymore but he’s good enough to be a drawing chip for [...]

This Darius Miles situation is a mess. Before we get to talking about threatening e-mails and all that, let's back up for a minute, and all agree on one thing: Darius Miles is not, and should not be, medically retired. Portland's claim, supported by an independent doctor, that they should get salary cap relief for his career-ending injuries was a mistake. And now there's a 27-year-old...

It didn't take much reading between the lines Thursday to figure out the Bulls will try to trade disgruntled guard Larry Hughes by the Feb. 19 deadline, and he'd welcome a move. ''The trade deadline is coming around, so everybody has to keep an eye on that,'' Hughes said after practice. ''You just have to come out while you have the Bulls uniform on and play hard and try to get wins. We all have to...

The Washington Wizards (7-27) are 20 games below .500 for the first time since Eddie Jordan's first season in Washington in 2003-04 -- when the team suffered because of injuries to Gilbert Arenas and Larry Hughes and finished 25-57. So the chances of Caron Butler or Antawn Jamison making the NBA all-star team are only slightly better than the team's non-existent playoff chances. I'd be shocked if we...
