re: Darius Miller assigned to D-League

He can't be picked up by any other team in the D-League. NBA contracts are solid, up to options, both ways. A player has to be actively waived for another team to be able to snatch him.

He can be down there for a a game or the rest of the season. In fact, he can remain down there all of next season if Dell wants.

The team has 14 ostensibly healthy people now, so they can carry 13 active to each game and have one healthy inactive. Rather than have that player (Miller was moved to the list when Gordon came off of it), they are giving him the chance to get minutes (D-League team decides ultimately). So, this was not long-overdue. It's timely. If anything, it says Eric hasn't suffered any negative effects from Saturday's game that the team knows about.
