Will the Clippers bid on Darko?

If the T-Wolves really did use their amnesty on Darko, do you think the Clippers will bid on him?
He can play 10 minutes a game & wouldn't be that expensive. It would also give us another BIG body to backup DJ.

We're over the cap and therefore we can't bid on him.
Though, I think he's already cleared waivers and could be had for one of the remaining exceptions.

He already cleared waivers a few days ago, he's just a free agent

Darko is the tougher more offensive minded player between the two. Hopefully we acquire him soon.

Chris Andersen has scored equal to more points per minute and far more efficiently than Darko for a while, rebounds better, better shot blocker (and Darko is good), better defender, he's just 33 and a weird man, and a tweener PF/C.

Darko has more moves, and you can post him up, problem is that he is inefficient, doesn't draw double teams, and it is much more than not a bad use of a posession for it to end with him posting up or shooting a jumper.

Last 4 seasons pts/36:
Andersen: 12.4/.583 TS% - 12.3/.636 TS% - 9.5/.631 TS% - 11.1/.608 TS%

Milicic: 10.2/.458 TS% - 12.9/.482 TS% - 11.3/.497 TS% - 11.6/.533 TS%

There is a prevailing idea that Darko is good on offense because he calmly takes midrange jumper that he never makes, and smoothly does post moves that rarely go in. He isn't because he's just not a good finisher on his moves and with his shot.
