A story from the Belleville News-Democrat has recently shed light on a former Trail Blazers player’s trouble with money. According to the story, Darius Miles is now bankrupt. Even though his career came to an abrupt end, it is still shocking that the 61 million dollars he earned as a NBA players is gone (courtesy of Basketball-Reference.com).
Miles’ plight should be a strong reminder to the current crop of Trail Blazers players that recently received a pay raise over the summer. Allen Crabbe, Meyers Leonard, and Maurice Harkless are just three examples of players on the current roster that are about to enjoy a solid pay raise (a massive one in Crabbe’s case).
