If a team were to sign the free-agent forward "for the purpose of adversely impacting the Portland Trail Blazers' salary cap and tax positions," the Blazers might pursue litigation, team president Larry Miller stated in an e-mail obtained by SI.com and Yahoo! Sports late Thursday night.
"Please be aware that if a team engages in such conduct, the Portland Trail Blazers will take all necessary steps to safeguard its rights, including, without limitation, litigation," Miller wrote, according to the memo.
If Miles plays two more games, then his Blazers contract, worth $18 million total for this season and next, would count against the Trail Blazers' salary cap and force the team to pay the NBA's luxury tax.
Bad business practices. xnonono2x
Miller sent this email to all 29 other NBA teams yesterday. No surprise, the Memphis Grizzles signed Miles to a 10 day contract this morning.
