Darko was a decent rebounder and shot blocker and had also a better than average jumper for a big man. So there lies the question, would we or would we not be in a better position if we had Darko

We'd definitely be better if we had Darko added to this current roster. The guy is a bit of a goofball, but he would have been a decent complement to Dwight. A guy who can block/alter shots, rebound, and take his man away from the rim is what we eventually need starting at pf. I think he could have grown into that role very nicely if he kept his priorities straight. He isn't worth keeping over Lewis however, which would mean Hedo probably would have been the cap casualty. Not sure if we would have had the same amount of success in the short run, but its probably what the team is going to have to look like to contend for a championship eventually. If we can get a sg to go along with a piece like that, one who can defend and has some handles, we would be in a much better position imo, with a more balanced team to match up well against anyone else in the league. Right now, we have our mis-match advantages, but unfortunately we have a lot against too. Its a tough call. I like this team, its fun to watch, but I have my doubts at times.

That might be my best demotivator work ever, I'm proud if it.
