[QUOTE="rtillaree, post: 4436729, member: 570661"] Arroyo is "overpaid" based on production but for his position and his veteran ability, he's pretty much right there financially, but the deal was short term (expires this year) and serviceable, so there is no problem there... Cato had a nice expiring, yes that is why he was grouped into the deal for Darko. Orlando Acquired Darko because he was a 7', powerful shot blocker who could rebound and had mounds of upside. Orlando got immediate production from him in their front line because they had the minutes to dedicate to him. Darko did a fine job while in Orlando. Orlando would have re-signed him had he of not let his agent talk him into believing that Orlando was trying to screw him...luckily we didnt, because he's more of a bust now than ever... So to re-cap for you, since you dont seem to grasp the big paragraphs, Darko and Arroyo filled needs at the time and only cost Orlando Stuckey...we can live with that... no he wasn't, he was still rookie scale and an exercised option, and again, bird rights so no luxury tax on Darko's salary... yea, I fully understand trades... I don't understand this Cato's expiring wasn't used to sign Ben Wallace, Ben Wallace was a FA at the end of the season and signed with Chicago...and again, Darko's salary would not count against the luxury tax... ok, thanks...no one is worth 118 million, but I dont pay it, so I dont give a shit...ok, it limits Orlando slightly over the next few seasons, but with the MLE, VLE, draft picks and trades, we'll be ok... Orlando didnt sign Darko, Detroit did, Orlando acquired Darko, for a whole season, and renounced his rights to sign Rashard, that's not my logic, that's fact... [/QUOTE]
