    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Darko Milicic lost his job in the starting lineup because of injury, but isn't afraid that the demotion will hurt him this summer when he becomes a free agent.

    Milicic will become a restricted free agent this summer, meaning the Magic can match any contract offer he receives. He can get contract of six years from Orlando, but the Magic will likely opt to go with a short-term deal.

    "It just happens that I couldn't play the same night that Tony was coming back because of my back injury," Milicic said. "I'm starting to get my minutes back now coming off the bench. I'm not worried about (the demotion). I just want to help this team get into the playoffs. That's all I'm thinking about now."</div>

    I still don't understand his demotion, it just doesn't make any sense. Oh well, as long as we are winning and he's getting a significant amount of minutes I'll be happy.
