Orlando not contacting Milicic
Free-agency shocker: Magic mum to Milicic -- OrlandoSentinel.com

Quote:
In a surprising development, the Orlando Magic did not contact Darko Milicic's camp when NBA free agency officially began at 12:01 a.m. today.

The Magic had said they wanted to re-sign Milicic, but by late this afternoon they had yet to call Marc Cornstein, Milicic's agent.

Cornstein conceded he was surprised, because a team's call to a free agents after the courting period begins is seen as at least a good-will gesture, if not an actual precursor to negotiating.

Cornstein told the Sentinel he received calls from more than 10 other teams today about Milicic, including "a few" who made offers, but added, "Curious by their absence was the Orlando Magic."

10 teams and Detroit probably isn't one of them- such a shame. JoeD could still fix his biggest mistake ever. Maybe he's too proud.

Re: Orlando not contacting Milicic
A sign and trade with Seattle makes sense since Seattle desperatly needs big men.

If thats not the case the Magic do have the right to make counter offers so maybe they are seeing what comes up 1st. Seems like a lame way to do business if thats the case.

We just don't have enough money Ralphi. We're not even in the running.

The offer sheets are with the same lawyer handling Mark Cuban's paperwork on Don Nelson!

Agent Marc Cornstein says he has yet to hear from the Orlando Magic, regarding his client Darko Milicic. Cornstein says he’s heard from at least 10 NBA teams who have interest in Darko, but none of them are the Orlando Magic – something he was somewhat surprised about. Darko is a restricted free agent so the Magic have the right to match whatever offers Darko receives on the open market. It is also believes that the Magic could be looking at using Darko in a sign and trade package for a free agent like Rashard Lewis. It’s not uncommon for teams holding restricted free agents to force them to establish market value rather than irrationally overpay, especially considering that Cornstein has implied for months that Darko was worth $60 million.

Is someone crazy enough to come up with $60 mil for primadonna?

Re: Orlando not contacting Milicic
Maybe Darko needs to read our Cell Phone thread. His coverage might be lacking.

"I just vant to hear you now?"

I wonder if LB was one of the ones giving Darko an offer.

Re: Orlando not contacting Milicic
This speculation of Darko returning to Detroit reminds me of Elvis sightings, except I think there is a greater possibility of Elvis lurking about in our world than there is a possibility of ever seeing Darko roaming the court (or bench) again in a Detroit Pistons uniform.

What in the world makes you think Detroit would ever want Darko back?

AND:

What in the world makes you think Darko would ever willingly return to his nightmare if he had any other options available?
