BREAKING NEWZ: Celtics Sign Darius Miles

Scott (CEO) Boston.com reports the Celtics have announced that they have signed free agent forward Darius Miles.
Our T.J. Donegan had this to say a few weeks back in his linkz of the week.
Darius Miles Puts Acting Career On Hold, Could Play In Green
Ian Thomsen writes a great Inside the NBA column-esque thing for SI.com and he has a really good piece on Darius Miles, the former high school standout and Clippers first-round-pick who injured his knee two years ago and had his injury deemed “career-ending” by the NBA. Well he is back and healthy and working out for your beloved Celtics. He has a lot of baggage but no moreso than a lot of NBA players (To think, Caron Butler spent six months in prison). He’s spent two years getting healthy and rehabbing when he could’ve been sitting on his ass collecting close to 10 million a year that the Blazers guaranteed him.
He’s a bargain-basement grab for anyone who is willing to take a flyer on him and I think two years coupled with the strong team mentality the Celtics have built could be enough to turn his career around if he stays healthy. There’s not a lot of options for the Cs at SF and none more talented than Miles.
Besides, if I have to see him in another movie like The Perfect Score, I might lose it.
