Goodbye Darnell 

Post#1 » by mg » Sun Mar 21, 2010 12:05 am

We hardly knew thee..

DJ might be a little short on talent but he was a hard worker.

Good luck in the future. Hope you catch on with another team..

There is simply no way he would have been part of the rotation. We have Jamison, Hickson, Varejao, Powe... And LeBron sometimes play the 4.

Darnell has officially been waived. I hope he gets another chance in the NBA or at least somewhere in Europe. He's a good guy.

Can Darnell not be picked up by another team this season?

*edit*
He is not playoff eligible due to when he was waived. To think that we used to fill roster spaces with complete bums like Dwayne "Hot Potato" Jones.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

He had 34 pts, 12 reb in the previous game.

He is not going to Europe. He'll be a d-leaguer for the rest of the season and then sign somewhere. He's still young.

DJ will be a 5th big for some team.

The Cavs have so much depth at the Center and PF positions. When Shaq comes back they will have 6 bigs plus LeBron who can also play PF in a small lineup.

He's had some ridiculous games in Erie, but he's really only about 6'6" or maybe 6'7".

He was listed at 6' 7.75" in shoes for the draft combine.

Good pickup for MIL.

Darnell is an NBA caliber player, he was just stuck in a numbers game here behind Jamison/Varejao/Hickson/Powe and even Lebron who plays some PF.

Hope he can get some mins in MIL and secure a contract for next year.
