    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Detroit Pistons exercised their team option on Darko Milicic on Thursday, keeping the 20-year-old center under contract for the next two seasons.

    "We are pleased to have Darko Milicic signed through the 2006-07 season and we look forward to seeing his continued growth as a player," said Joe Dumars, the Pistons' president of basketball operations. "Darko was able to play a lot of minutes during summer league this July and we are happy that he is on Serbia-Montenegro's roster during the European Championships this September."</div>

    I dont get it... Why do they keep the guy when they are not going to let him play anyway? I would atleast try to trade him for someone at a position that they need backup in.

    Who knows, maybe flip will give him some minutes, tho not sure how many since he was supposedly underwhelming in the summer league

    I`m hoping Flip really works out with Darko the remainder of the summer and see what he can really bring to the table. If he finds Darko is almost useless, trade him. I really don`t think Milicic will be mad at all.
