send me a tape of your kid, i bet he's better than this argentinian guy who's hanging around TD during games
Why would the Magic give up Milicic unless they think he has no chance to become anything?

Orlando won't, but he may accept the year 5 offer this summer, a la Kandi and Rasho, and be unrestricted in '08. He will just have turned 23 at that point.
Why would he want to do that? The Magic will have plenty of money to pay him, he'll have a bigger role there than he would here, and their future is brighter long-term.
He already turned down their extension offer last summer, which isn't a good sign for Orlando. I think he was one of the only ones in his draft class to do so. It's not a total stretch.
I think his role would be about the same here as in Orlando next to Howard: D-up the primary big, rebound and block shots.
he would be a starter in SA
anybody could start in SA as a center (with Oberto and Elson)even myself could do it,and I´m only 5.11
Untill Oberto wins a game with a single foul, like my kid did a couple of weeks ago, that might be not too uncorrect......
I'm 6'3''.
And I would raise the average age even further.
I should send in a CV, just in case.
The Orlando Magic is one of those teams whose future is always brigther.
By definition.
They love that "Wait till tomorrow" feeling.......
Oh and I can easily beat BB in a FT contest.
I should DEFINITELY send in a CV.
And if I fail with the Spurs, I can always go to the Knicks.
I can't imagine that they turn me down.......
And if the Knicks turn you down, send your application to the Celts, and on your way back to SA, leave your CV in Charlotte... that's the easiest road to become an NBA player
Actually no: those places are between SA and here. Milano, Italy.
Cheers.
I think Detroit were BIG fools to give this guy up. Now look who they've got starting at center - Chris "One Leg" Webber.
That said, I'd love for the Spurs to be able to get this guy. However, it's a pipe dream - at best. Same for Gasol. Unless you're willing to part with one of the big 3 (and that would be simply insane) it wouldn't happen.
Ginobili for Gasol, i buy it
i mean Gasol for Ginobili
Been watching Milicic again tonight. He does not look good. Has a nice soft touch on his shot but is not quick and is getting dunked on by Curry all game long. Curry looks much quicker. Darko looks timid and not very agressive.
He is always getting boxed out and most of the time his man is always on the inside closer to the basket because Darko is boxed out. He also bites on most fakes and guys get right by him. He has bad latteral quickness and doesn't look like he jumps very good (white man hops). Would rather play away from the basket. Also had at least 3 three second violations the few times I saw him in the lane. Been in the league 4 years and still doesn't know how to play.
Does have a nice shot for a guy his size but does not look to be a strong interior defensive player. Also not agressive in getting to the ball to get rebounds.
I don't want this project on the spurs.
Agreed.
Joe D. miscalculated. He partly got rid of him to be sure the team had enough $$$ to resign Ben Wallace ... oops!
But, as Joe D also stated, too much had happened in Detroit for it to have worked for Darko. Expectations were too high, and patience was too low. No one was willing to allow him to mature, develop and become comfortable with the culture of the NBA and America. LB was also the absolute worse coach that he could have had for his first 2 years.
He may never live up to a #2 overall picks perceived ability/value/worth, but I still to this day believe he's going to be a very good player for a number of years. He should be a 4, not a 5 like LB wanted him to be, and what he's often playing in Orlando. He's not physical enough to battle down low on a consistent basis. Other than his blocking ability, he'll always be somewhat lacking defensively. He still thinks too much instead of reacting. Which tells me he's still not comfortable with his role.
But he's only 21. His first 2 years were completely wasted by LB ... a coach who notoriously has failed to develop any young player as he simply wants veterans who already know how to play.
Since day 1, I always said he's going to be a J Oneal type of player who is going to take time to grow and learn to play. For those who don't remember, in JO's 4th year, he averaged 3.9pts and 3.3rbs
And it looks like he's starting to come around. His last 3 games (including tonights) he averaged:
28minutes 15.6pts 6rbs 2blks 1ast FG-53% FT-68%
I'd love to see the Pistons go after him this year even though there is absolutely zero chance he'd agree to come back
I love Darko since he played in DET, not sure if rigth now he'll be great adition; but under POP's hands ...he'll be able to understand those words of POP; I think that Darko could improve I watched some good games of the kid ...I really liked, but don't go fast he's not Mr. consistency.
There's no micracle guy outside... only talent + works + Goad coaching will bring us to Championship series.
I agreed that combo Carlos (Delfino and Arroyo) + Darko were too much for old fashion way of coaching of Mr. LB ... those kids hasn't any chance to be developed there; Why didn't send them to Europe, NBDL or so you got (IMO) your future in your hand and you let it go.Agreed.

How about bring Dwight Howard in? Keep dreaming.
Keep dreaming
wake up, PETRO is 21 years.
But I think he will be very good.
Very good blocker,a good defender,good rebounder...he would be perfect with Tim. We can dream sometimes...
Did you know he does again this season?
Did you know that some players can't function on a contending team where there are expectations placed on them? The poor dears usually wind up on middle of the road teams with no pressure or expectations.
