Sain 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 We have not lost darko, stop saying we did. Until we actually lose him stop crying about it. Let Otis do his job and when we do lose darko then you can go cry, but until then just let it unfold. Otis is pretty good at his job, stop doubting him, he said darko was his top priority and i still think he is, just lets watch and stop assuming darko is lost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sixninethree 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 What's the basis to say Otis is a good GM? He's never proven himself. He gave Tony battie a 4 year, 6 mil a year contract extension last summer, when he wasn't even a free agent. This is the direct cause of us being in scramble mode now to keep Darko. If he had thought, hrmm, maybe next year we have a salary cap, he could have avoided this deal and we'd be sitting pretty right now. Keith Bogans for 3 mil? Really? When you have JJ, Dooling, and Grant coming back to play the 2? Otis is in over his head, I'm afraid to say. And one of those 2nd round picks we sold could be useful now for some PF depth.

Black And Blue 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 While I am leaning towards the popular opinion that Darko is a goner, I do agree with you Sain that this is just the beginning of the free agency period. I'm sure this isn't our opening day roster, so we will have to see how the story unfolds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sain 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 Otis was the guy who freed up all the cap space in the first place, and no one is in scramble mode to keep darko. You are, not anyone else. I'm sure otis knows what he is doing, the only people that are in panic are fans like you. Its the 2nd day of free agency and everyone thinks its over, whats wrong with you? There is still a whole summer for things to work out, just calm down. WOOT WOOT NYCE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoBo2002 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 Thank you Sain, I agree with you 100% GMs bluff from time to time, and Otis has the whole NBA thinking we are willing to let Darko walk. The national media staying away from us has played to our advantage. If ESPN/SI would have paid attention during the season, they would know how high Otis is on Darko. Otis is using the media to his advantage, forcing Seattle's hands into doing what he wants to do. This is an amazing business, with some amazing businessmen, and I think Otis is just that. I cant wait to see how this all pans out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicFan4Life 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 Very well said robo. Although I have nothing to base it on, I am going to assume Otis is a crazy good businessman and see's all the angles righ now and is about to bust a big move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weezt0e 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 If we are working on a S/T with Seattle, as has been reported, its not just to add a year to 'Shards deal. Seems like we have him locked down regardless of the number of years. I'm certain that Otis is doing it to make room for Darko. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
