More about Darko returning to Europe after this season. From CNNSI.com:

Sure, he had some talent, but taking him before Wade and Melo is just craaaazy!!!
And I dont want him here, there are better players in the draft we could get with the Charlote pick.

There were a lot of coaches and GMs who had Darko going as the number 2 pick that year, not just Durmar. Also had Memphis been able to keep the number 2 pick that year, they had traded it to Detroit, Darko would have been given the playing time he wasn't getting in Detroit with Brown. Brown is the one who really screwed Darko over, by not wanting to play him and developing him into the player he would have been elsewhere. Had Detroit picked Melo or Wade, Brown would have done the same thing to them, they are luck to have gone where they did. Look what Brown did with the players during the Olympics that next summer. While Brown might be a very good coach he is an a--hole!

I hope Darko changes his mind and stays but he'll probably be overpriced. Then again, what are our other options, right?

Smells like we'll get Wesley Johnson or Al-Farouq Aminu in the draft this year...

The game tonight against the Lakers is the type of playing that I have always expected out of Darko. Hope his injury isn't too bad and he'll be back for the next game

Yes, he played very well.

The team seems to function a lot better when he's playing. Plus his defense is All-World compared to Love and Jefferson. Weird, huh? Our team looks better when we have a real center on the court. If by some miracle Darko stays with us next year for not too much money, it would be fantastic to play him with Love, and trade Al for some nice player, draft picks, or assets.
