That's why we have to pass on Darko. Coach Brown won't get through Darko. The dumbest coach and player combo doesn't work well together.

kwame had the brick laying hands. darko just issues concentrating on bball instead of complaining

Imagine Darko playing with Kobe, Gasol and Nash.. what the hell? He was showing glimpses of major talent on the T Wolves, hook him up with the hardest worker, the most fundamental big man in the game and the best passer in the league? This guy could be our future centre.

Would anyone seriously not risk the minimum on this guy? He can seriously do everything. He's probably the most athletic "big" man in the league that has actual skills.

Right! Nash made Gortat look like an all star. Darko is better than Gortat in my opinion! If we can get him for the low low, then I say we do it. 7 feet, 6 fouls, big body, block shots.
