Breaking News: Wolves agree to a 4 year, $20 mil deal with Darko Milicic. Link coming shortly ...

Wowsa

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

he is really really batshit crazy

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

So, Blazer Fans, would you rather have no GM or an incompetent one?

i will go with door #1

 

[maxiep]

Is David Kahn some kind of Manchurian Candidate?

In other news, Martell's psychologist just increased the dosage on his anti-depression medication.

 

[BGrantFan]

Darko's great in the locker room, though. Perhaps it's a good deal, since Darko can be everybody's friend?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

almost the MLE to a garbage player? wow

and we think we can get Miller with the MLE???

John Hammond has just been saved from winning the "worst deal awarded during free agency" medal.

You can go to the Humane Society and adopt a nice puppy for about 100 bucks

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

chadfordinsider Wolves will spend $33 million on Darko and Nikola Pekovic to shore up their middle. Have around $5 mil left under the cap

 

[ironcrotch]

wow

 

[axs88]

Meanwhile, they're trying to trade Al Jefferson because he's overpaid and doesn't mesh well with KLove in the froncourt. But they met with David Lee anyway, possibly just as bad of a match. He probably realized that and said, might as well lock Darko up early now before he goes back to Europe.

He's worse than Isiah Thomas.

Am I the only one who thinks that contract isn't that bad at all?

right....paying milicic 420k a month for the next four years is not bad at all

 

[illmatic99]

$5 mil for a young center that can put up 8/6 off the bench and play decent D on a team that has no other centers isn't that bad.

 

[J_Ray]

Darko actually made them a better team last year when he was there.....that's not saying much though.

 

[ironcrotch]

$5 mil per year for Darko is not bad at all.

It's terrible.

 

[noknobs]

Webster deserves better than this. This is just cruel and unusual.

 

[Chuck Taylor]

It may pay dividends to sit back and watch all the over-spenders blow their money in the beginning, and scoop up a bargain with the MLE next month....

 

[illmatic99]

In a league where Anderson Varejao gets a $48mil deal and Drew Gooden can get a $32 mil deal, $20 for a guy who can D up and score points from the center position is very reasonable.

I bet he will put up double double numbers this year. Keep an eye on him for fantasy.

I have an alternate take. Be wary of guys who don't love the game and have concentration issues putting up a decent-ish season in a contract year ...

 

[ironcrotch]

This is a really good point.

@KBerg_CBS: By giving $20m to Darko Milicic, David Kahn may have just singlehandedly lost the CBA negotiation for the owners. #NBA

 

[illmatic99]

His numbers didn't really change drastically during his contract year. He just got more of an opportunity to show his game.

The dominoes must be falling for giving long-term contracts to really mediocre bigs.

So that's Darko "showing his game?" Gah.

 

[illmatic99]

Like I said, 8 and 6 with good D off the bench isn't bad. Only thing to be concerned about would be his attitude.

You guys are free to disagree.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I guess Darko isn't Free after all.

You guys are free to disagree.

But that's just it, it's ALWAYS been about Darko's space cadet attitude. He's certainly not worth 4 years 5 million per year.

Not only will they disagree, they will mock your position. Do you spoon with David Khan?

Anyhow, it's a meh. Darko isn't terrible.

Minny fans who have actually watched him play aren't up in arms: http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1026856

What if he ends up being a good value? All we have are opinions right now.
