Linwood, you are asking a lot of questions about YKW. Do you know what happened to the last guy who started asking questions?

Exactly. It's been a dirty little secret in the NBA that players don't want really good players on their teams. I think Darko made some early attempts to look bad (getting a dunk blocked by the rim, etc.) but then the natural talent took over and he was alienated from the other players due to his exceptional talent. I imagine someone will write a dissertation on it soon. I checked Dissertation Abstracts but nothing yet.

The search engine at Dissertation Abstracts is very picky, so you have to choose wisely when submitting key words on the Advanced Search form. Try "sandbagging", "blood flow", and "i just vant to play".

Re: Darko's Value

I'm almost convinced that Darko SHOULD actually make the HOF. If for no other reason than the incredible creativity with which his supporters produce "reasons" for his lack of production and inability to make a home in the NBA. Maybe he really IS that good.

Memphis might make the playoffs this year but Conley, Gay, Gasol, Miller, and Warrick will contribute more to that playoff run than Darko. Memphis made the playoffs 2 years ago. If injuries did not occur last year they probably would of made it again. If Memphis makes the playoffs the main reason that their will be such a turn around from last season is because of injured players like Gasol returning.

I bet Darko comes off the bench and the 5 guys I mentioned start. If Darko starts it's only because the Grizzlies don't want to play Warrick, or Gasol at Center.

Re: Darko's Value

I wonder - was there a Chauncey HOF club in Denver deluding themselves with visions of grandeur until he made a place for himself in D-Town, won a ship, earned the Finals MVP?

the grizzlies are just a better team. they picked up navarro too in the offseason. i'm not saying darko is the sole reason. i'm just saying darko + full season = playoffs on any team. but to go further not only will they make the playoffs but they will be a very tough round series. they will have one of the best frontcourts in the league. darko will help gasol so much he may return to the all star game.

darko will start. that's why they brought darko in because they don't want to play warrick or gasol at center.
