The Pistons center is playing for his Serbia and Montenegro national team, which beat visiting Croatia on Thursday night in a warm-up for the European championships. Damir Jovanovic, a writer for jadransport.org, described Milicic's performance: Milicic "made a good appearance, although he seemed a bit uncertain what to do with the ball when he got it. (His face was like, 'Wow, I'm holding it.') "At first, he quickly got into the game and made a superb block, couple of rebounds and scored three points. So there's some hope for this talented lad, who if given more time in his NBA club could make a nice career."</div> Source

He may never recover your wrath.</div> I agree, he's been doing nothing for two years now. Hopefully Flip will give him some playing time. But I don't see how he will, seeing as he's behind Antonio McDyess and now Dale Davis.
Darko's just gonna bolt, but sadly, won't get a nice contract. I see him signing with someone for a year or two to prove he can produce stats if given the minutes and confidence.
Did he just get a two year extension this summer? I agree, Darko needs a change and play for team where he can develop and find his confidence again.
I also do agree it is partly Larry Brown's fault, but they were a championship contending team. However he should've been givin more playing time, he can't improve much by just playing in practices all the time. It is completely differetn from game situations. Hopefully Darko can get out of his slump.
He didn't get playing time from Larry Brown and now it's like he forgot how to play and has to start from scratch. I want this guy to be given minutes and after a year or so of solid minutes, we can tell if he has potential or is a bust. Just give him minutes!!
