The Blazers sent a memo to the NBA's other 29 teams threatening legal action against anyone who signs Darius Miles for the purpose of increasing Portland's cap number, and the league is getting involved.

The issue has reportedly been added to Friday afternoon's agenda at a previously scheduled meeting between NBA and players' union attorneys.

The NBA issued a statement that seemed to indicate that it would support any club wishing to sign Miles.

If Miles plays two more games, then his Blazers contract, worth $18 million total for this season and next, would count against the team's salary cap and force the team to pay luxury tax next summer.
