Darko HAS to stay

[Darko Miliminutes]

Back on topic..............


How about this for an offer

2010: $2,250,000
2011: $2,500,000
2012: $2,750,000 (Player Option)
Total: 3 years, $7.5 million

I agree with Millimeters. This is what Hollins makes as a 4th big. If they envision Darko as a starter then it will probably take about double this.

Millimeters...come on. Did you really need to bring my penis size into this?

Assuming we want to use our cap space elsewhere (ala Rudy Gay or the like), the easiest way to sign him is save $1.25 million in cap space and sign him to a 3 year, 13 million contract starting at 4 mil on the first day of the season. Rubio's $2,724,300 cap hold drops off on the first day of the season, meaning we can sign him for that money. We tell Darko what he has to do practice/atheltic wise, stream practices via the web so he can keep up, amd tell him to enjoy his family time abroad and be in town the day before the season starts. He could come to summer league as an unsigned invite to get used to the new guys, then Day 1 of the season we sign him and he "starts on the bench until he catches up".

That's a pretty weird scenario...

There's going to be some demand for Darko 'round the bball world this off-season. The most lucrative offers will come from overseas, but he'll garner a few back up (at worst) calls from NBA teams.

I don't know the extent of "games" he'd be willing to play to stay here. He will have legit options.

There will be no mind games, I believe the staff values him and really wants him to come back and be a long term part of the 3-headed big man monster we envision.

$4 million is more than he'll make overseas. 1.5 million Euros is about 1.9 million dollars after taxes.
