[QUOTE="rtillaree, post: 4436790, member: 570661"] Dumars said he would not pay Ben Wallace the money he was looking for at the end of the year...Cato was brought in to free up money, but Darko was not shipped out with the intentions of clearing cap space to re-sign Wallace... Agreed Wallace gave indications that he would be back in Detroit, but he wanted the major payday and that is why he went to Detroit...Dumars refused to pay that money... What is your point with the Grant Hill/Rashard Lewis thing? yes, Hill's contract expired and made room for Rashard... Darko was a bust when Dumars selected him over Carmelo...but, just like Kwame Brown was the consensus 1st overall pick in 2k, Darko was the consensus 2nd pick in that draft, many other teams would have made the same mistake...Darko's only problem is his attitude and willingness to show heart, because he has the skill and the physical abilities to be an extremely dominate player, he has shown that time and time again, but he refuses to work with the team at full clip, he refuses to quit smoking, he refuses to pay attention...he's just a head case...but again, he gave Orlando 82 games of serviceable big man minutes...no complaints there...
