We still could have had Darko, if Otis would have signed him last year. We could have had Darko if we would have only given Lewis 70-100 million. We could have still had Darko if we did not give Tony Battie the contract extension!!! We had the big man in Darko!

Thank You, I felt like I was on crazy pills reading those other post saying we have no young talent.
To bad the Artest Rumors where not true, of him coming the the Magic. Artest is still pretty young, he is like 28. So that would have been alot better then washed up players like Webber and PJ Brown.
It would have been easy to start JJ when we had Darko. All JJ would have had done was play ok defense, if a guy blew by him that player would have to go up against Dwight and Darko, but now its harder since Darko is gone. Lebron James even said last year he was affraid to drive against Dwight and Darko.
