    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Florida Today - Darko Milicic is playing for a new contract this season, which could be as high as $60 million. Milicic continues to be a reserve for the Magic, but has been playing effectively and is finishing games for the club.

    "When Darko has early success, his confidence soars," Magic coach Brian Hill said of Milicic. "He's how we're going to get better. If we're running plays through Dwight (Howard) and Darko, it's going to make us better down the line. We have to force-feed those guys."</div>

    Thank god. Please give him more PT. He produces very nicely when gets the playing time. So continue to increase his PT and then even throw him in the starting lineup.

    HAHAHAHAHA, Darko is a huge bust. If you give him 60 mill you'll seal your fate. Grant hill was a terrible contract but only because of injury. You don't wanna hand out another terrible contract based on stupidity do you?

    This coming from a genius who might get to watch the Magic up to four times in an 82 game season.


    I got an infraction for posting that Mo Pete sucks in a Raptors forum, ahahahaha. Retaliation I suppose.

    That's the first time that I have ever heard a guy that is TWENTY years old and just getting his first real action is a bust. He'll be a valuable role player with us for many years to come. Darko has averaged 21 minutes per game now and he is 7th in the league in blocks. Just imagine if he got the PT that Emeka Okafor and others get. He is currently 4th in blocks per 48 minutes. He's been a very effective player for us. He will bring the shot blocking and the outside shooting, while Dwight gets the rebounding and inside shooting. They are perfect complements.

    A bust? Most certainly if you're comparing him in terms of where he was drafted, but to suggest that he is not an important piece to the Magic and simply a "huge bust" is absolutely ludacris. Talent-wise, he's got as much potential as many of the other players in the '03 draft and with GMs drafting based more on talent-level than actually NBA-readiness, it would naturally lead to a lot more gambling by teams, so I don't blame Detroit nor Darko for being the second pick..

    By the way, you wouldn't want another post based off of stupidity, would you?
