His family thinks he should make the HOF...that's a solid enough recommendation for me.

The same thing was initially said about Ben and DMC, then Howard and DMC. After a while, Darko starts outworking the superstar and makes him look bad. The superstar goes to management, and Darko is gone. The pattern should be obvious. Look for Darko to be traded by January.

Sheed and Billups still talk up Darko

Does anybody else remember when the DHOFer's were saying Darko's problem was that he was playing out of his natural position the 4 to play the 5. It just bugs me that stories can change so damn much, I mean how many excuses can we give the guy. If I was new to the whole Darko thing I might actually think he is the best player ever reading some of this stuff, when the truth is he is a talented 7 footer to bad he is also a lazy unmotivated chain smoking sissy, who will never amount to anything unless his attitude changes. I wanted him to succeed as much as any other piston fan here but he didn't. And his attitude seems to be the biggest reason why, hell just look at some of the crap he said when Orlando didn't make an effort to resign him. NEWS TO DARKO you are not the greatest thing since sliced bread get over yourself, once you do that you may actually be a player in this league.

What''s Darko worth? Well according to the free market, less than Gerald Wallace, but more than Jason Kapono and Luke Walton.

Considering his lack of PT on previous teams, and lack of coaches that wanted to coach him, that's not a bad place to be.

2. Darko played one full year for the Magic. They went to playoffs, Previous to that they were a lottery team.

3. Darko left the Magic after last season and the Magic have signed 3 big men in an attempt to replace him.

Magic bring big man Gortat over from Europe - NBA - Yahoo! Sports

Those are the facts.

Is Darko that good?

Probably not, but for sure when he is around positive things happen to the team that he is on so much so that the Magic felt that they needed to replace his departure with 3 big men, including one all star caliber player.

The tires on my car are round in one plane. The first thing I do each morning is pee. Those are facts too. And equally related.

Sorry, you lost me when you say Darko played. When was this?

Check it out: a 3-4 year project maturing in...4 years. It's rocket science.

The only thing Darko represents to me right now is a thrown away complete waste of a #2 pick. In the last 25 years the Pistons have only had 3 top picks. Isiah, G.Hill and Darko. Which one does not belong in that group?

If Darko keeps improving then I will enjoy watching him but he is never going to put on a Pistons uniform again. That ship has sailed. Too many bridges burned.

We did get Rodney Stucky out of the deal. Any chance Stucky could make us forget about losing a #2 pick?

One can only hope Max. and yeah, I agree about the waste.
