So basically Darko only cost the Pistons an aging Dave Bing, Tree Rollins, and Steve Hayes, while Stuckey only cost those same players as well as Elden Campbell and Joel Freeland.

Added some more line breaks for you.

Nice post, thanks!

Thanks, that does look a lot better.

Great. Now that the formula has been posted, every team will be able to get a Stuckey on their team.

I find it hilarious that Memphis ended up with that #2 pick after all.

Memphis/Vancouver did not want to give away their former picks so finally they had to hand over 2nd and it was the highest pick Memphis ever got from lottery.

That's a great first post, Action Jackson. Welcome aboard!

Hmmmm, that was quite clever for you to post this. Welcome!

Yes, and they still ended up with that #2 pick (by signing Darko).

I find it nice that Darko, as a starter lately, and Memphis, are on a roll.

Always good to see Darko do well.
