    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PLAYER NAME:

    Milovan Rakovic

    HEIGHT/WEIGHT:6-10, 250

    COLLEGE: Serbia

    AGE: 22

    BREAKDOWN: He is big, young, athletic and aggressive, according to Magic General Manager Otis Smith. He handles the ball better than most his size. The Magic also liked his aggressiveness, according to their scouting reports.

    THE BUZZ: The Magic will try to get Rakovic to play in the summer league, but they don't expect him at training camp. They expect him to remain in Serbia and play there at least for another year.</div>

    Think this was leverage to resign Darko? I don't think we'll take him over here this year and maybe bring him over after next year. I hope we bring over Marcin Gortat this year to give us a 4th big.

    Obviously i dont know if hes good, considering i don't live in Serbia. hah

    But I'd imagine that Donnie Nelson,Dallas Head Of Basketball Operations, knows his foreign players. So not only would this maybe sway Darko, might actually be a decent bench player.

    key word...decent. I mean he was the last pick of the draft. lol

    He seems like a pretty solid player. His agressiveness I really like. I can see, if we keep Darko and develop this guy as well, to have pretty solid front court, especially defensively.

    Him and Darko can now take baths together and hang out and go to a movie. What a move for Otis to have this guy lure Darko back in.
