As much as I love my GM Joe Dumars, the Darko pick was brutal. Yes, we still won a Championship the next year and yes, supposedly every other GM had Darko in the top 3, but unfortunately, we had to be the ones to make the pick. Ouch. Wouldn't mind having Wade, Bosh or Melo. Well, we did turn Darko into a #15 pick which is Rodney Stuckey, so I hope he turns out to eventually be a star.

Yep, I agree 100%. Hopefully Stuckey can help remove the bad taste from our mouths.

I agree. Say they went with Bosh. This would have made Wallace expendable leading to....
PG - Billups
SG - Hamilton
SF - Prince
PF - Bosh
C - R. Wallace
Still VERY talented. I'm sure Joe would have found a way to pick up Stuckey anyways.
