Pistons fan here I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Orlando fans when they traded for him. All you're going to get is disappointment from this guy. He doesn't care about playing basketball all he cares about is the money and fame. He has no heart and he's a whinnier. I will bet anything he is in the dog house before the all-star break. Don't be fooled by his "potential" he doesn't have the will/work ethic to become the big man he could be. Maybe he'll wake up, but nothing that happened this off season shows that happening. The way he and his agent handled this Orlando thing personifies Darko. He's worth 10 million a year? Why because he's 7 feet tall? He believes everything should be given to him, because he sure as hell isn't going to work for it. Good luck with this guy. But don't say nobody tried to warn you. Also from a guy that broke his hand playing 2 minutes in the NBA finals calling anyone soft is laughable. <div class="quote_poster">Voodoo Child Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">IBTW - Has anyone else noticed the irony in this signing? Grizzlies fans have been bitching since '03 that we got screwed out of one of the greatest drafts of all-time. We had traded away the rights to the #2 pick in a package for Otis Thorpe ages ago. Granted, we could have gotten Anthony, Wade, or Hinrich if we had held onto the #2, we did at least wind up with Milicic, that year's actual #2 pick after all was said and done.</div> I hadn't thought of that. Also as a Pistons fan anytime I see a Wade, Bosh or Anthony jersey I die a little on the inside.
I think it was a great signing for memphis also. This guy has tons of potential and should be one of the better centers in the league very soon. Orlando is fricken retarded for not keeping him and Dwight together.
