Heat talking to Milicic according to agent

[Nash]

By Ira Winderman:

Agent Marc Cornstein confirms to Sun Sentinel conversation with Heat regarding amnestied center Darko Milicic. "We've certainly talked about it," he said of his discussions with Milicic.

MORE...

Agent Marc Cornstein, on Heat only having veteran minimum to offer Milicic, "I guess the beauty of amnesty is he's already receiving his whole contract by clearing waivers. Money is always a factor, but in this case it really becomes a much smaller factor."

[niko]

This is totally no lose for me because my team is not mentioned. YAH! Who will Darko disappoint? Miami? Brooklyn?

[DuMa]

Marc J. Spears: Front runners for free agent center Darko Milicic are Miami, Clippers, Chicago and Brooklyn, source tells Y! Sports

i truly feel bad for cities like Milwaukee or Detroit. it seems like their names are hardly ever mentioned in these scenarios

[Nash]

If Miami get Darko, they'll have 4 of the top 5 picks in 2003 draft :lol

[NumberSix]

If that happened, The Heat would have 4 of the top 5 2003 draft. Only 1 they don't have is the one guy who accomplished nothing in his NBA career.

You guys need to stop that lol, Melo is going to end up in the Hall of Fame one day. He's a great player.

What exactly has Darko accomplished?

[stallionaire]

Melo is a joke and i would put my life on him never winning anything as a 1st option.

He had a triple double a couple seasons ago if I remember correctly.

[GaryRaymond23]

lol 2004 NBA champion :confusedshrug:

[PJR]

Darko's gonna get two rings before Carmelo gets one. :lol

[GaryRaymond23]

Heat would be wise to snag him - he is MUCH better defensively/rebounding wise than any other center on that team

[Dwyane Rose]

What exactly has Darko accomplished?

Darko is the youngest player to ever win a championship. Carmelo will never win a championship now that Lin's gone. :(

[Meticode]

If they get Dark 4 of the top 5 picks in the 2003 draft will be on the same team and all have rings. Mr. Carmelo Anthony has yet to make it to the Finals much less the Conference Finals.

[niko]

Darko is the youngest player to ever win a championship. Carmelo will never win a championship now that Lin's gone. :(
He literally almost did not play 1 important minute the entire season. That's not an accomplishment. That's luck. I think you need to look at the word accomplishment, it means to accomplish something. Not sit and witness something occur.

[DuMa]

i must quote Mr. James again.

"ITS GON BE EASY"

[UtahJazzFan88]

Darko is trash, his production is barely anything better than Joel Anthony or Dexter Pittman.

[Nash]

We joke about Darko and all but seeing what Miami have in the center spot, Milicic would be fantastic for them at this point.

[Apogee]

Hes an upgrade over anything we have right now, and for the minimum sounds good to me.

[Gabuyaux]

I can quote this with confidence.

[SilkkTheShocker]

He will definitely be in the HOF for all those scoring number he put up on teams that went nowhere. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[It's A VC3!!!]

Darko sucks. I want him nowhere near the Nets. Complete scrub.

[R.I.P.]

Anthony is just as good as Darko.

[niko]

I can't see Miami, playoffs big minutes and Darko is out there contributing. Regular Season, eating some minutes maybe. But put him in a big spot and he'll be so lost.

[DaSeba5]

This.

[AMISTILLILL]

Anyone else want to post that if the Heat sign Darko, they'll have four of the five top picks in the 2003 draft? I don't think it's been posted enough.

[Nash]

Exactly, just a big body for them for the min vet. There is nothing to lose here. He'll replace Eddy Curry in the roster who offered absolutely nothing.

[Lebron23]

Go Darko

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[boozehound]

What exactly has Darko accomplished?
well, he does have a ring? Also, his video highlight (about killing and raping the refs family) is way better than melos (snitching video).:coleman:

["D"]

How is it no team claimed this guy off the waiver. Amazes me. You get him virtually for free off the amnesty; none of the 30 teams even so much as bid on a cheap backup big guy in a league that's short on big guys and is getting a harder salary cap?

[LJJ]

Also, his video highlight (about killing and raping the refs family) is way better than melos (snitching video).:coleman:

Truth.

Darko looks Gangsta, while Melo looks like a shook pretender.

[EllisGW]

watch darko have a career year with heat lol

[chips93]

:lebronamazed:

you really think a darko led team would be able to win much?

i dont fully understand the claimin amnestied players thing, but there is a minimum you have to bid. for a team to have claimed darko off waivers they would have had to pay him something substantial, like 3 million or so

[LexiKhan]

Darko has no motivation left in him, he just doesn't care at all at this point (that was my impression of him last season with the wolves). Maybe playing in the stacked heat can light a fire on him but I doubt it, I agree with the posters that think he's as productive as Joel Anthony and Pittman at this point.

[Kurosawa0]

At this point, for Miami, any center is almost a no-lose proposition.

[hawkfan]

Darko should go to OKC.
He's certainly better offensively than Perkins.

[bih]

Darko just doesn't care but playing on same team with Wade and Lebron would probably light some fire to actually try.

Would be wise move for Heat to pick him up, way better then Joel.

[swi7ch]

Milicic and Oden at the 5... not bad! :bowdown:

[swi7ch]

Darko should go to OKC.
He's certainly better offensively than Perkins.

LOL, OKC had Perkins, Ibaka, Thabeet and you want Milicic too? How many more big men does OKC need? the NBA is not about bigs anymore...

[EnoughSaid]

Why not? A low risk type of deal just like Allen and Lewis. If he can contribute some valuable minutes, then we'll be very happy. As a Heat fan, only thing I'm worried about at the moment is how Wade and Bosh heal from their injuries.

[TMT]

4 of the top 5 picks from the 2003 draft all on the same team. :lol

[R.I.P.]

Want your client to get contract from contender? Pretend he

[Derka]

In b4 "Darko fixes everything that's wrong with the Heat's lack of size and will be a major contributor to 76 straight world titles!"

[nightprowler10]

4 of the top 5 picks from the 2003 draft all on the same team. :lol
You don't say...

Learned NBA defense. Something Melo will never learn :oldlol:

Hate all you want, Bobcats fan.. :coleman:

[KyrieTheFuture]

Wouldn't be a bad pickup but he's no Dwight stopper or anything like that

[LA_Showtime]

If I'm not mistaken, the Heat would then have four of the top five picks from the 2003 draft. :applause:

[G-train]

Heat would be wise to snag him - he is MUCH better defensively/rebounding wise than any other center on that team

He doesn't touch Anthony as a defender.

He's not worth the minimum anyways. Dude is a complete scrub. 7 feet tall earned him millions. No skill set whatsoever. It's deep inside but we'll never see it.

[Hank]

I'm for it. The Heat just need a 7-foot body in there who's not 40 yrs old, injury plagued or fat (Curry), and not a statue against certain opponents. The other guys will do all the rest

Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5,6,7,8

LOL....when I read Milwaukee and Detroit my first thoughts were the sh*tty baseball teams. Almost forgot they were also NBA teams.

[Hank]

Roster:

Chalmers/Cole
Wade/Ray Ray
LeBron/Battier
Bosh/Haslem/Lewis
Darko/Joel/Pittman

James Jones, Miller, Harris all ??? marks. Maybe Oden to replace Curry's roster spot for the final touch.

End of game crunchtime lineup:

Wade
Allen
Battier
Lebron
Bosh

[hawksdogsbraves]

This would be a great place for Darko to sign. Just rebound and play defense, be a contributing member of a championship team, and then have some dumb team overpay next year.

Plus, he's still getting paid a decent amount even with the vet min thanks to the amnesty.

[B-Easy8]

Darko will play one great game every 25 games and will give you nothing and I mean nothing for the rest of the season. He doesn't rebound, he can't finish at all around the rim and he just looks like he doesn't want to be playing.

[LiLharvard]

The Miami heat organization is such a joke. How they managed to convince Ray Allen to ruin his hof career is beyond me and now they are going after Darko milicic knowing full and well that Celtics are after his signature aswell.

[Blue&Orange]

If that happened, The Heat would have 4 of the top 5 2003 draft. Only 1 they don't have is the one guy who accomplished nothing in his NBA career.
I'm sure Melo if feeling bad because the other 3 accomplished something after they teamed up... and only after being carried by the refs like no other team before.

:lol


What a feat!

[Pointguard]

They got too many lineups for me already. Darko will work hard to make himself the fourth center off the bench, heck, of the other 4 guys picked in his draft class they all would have better games at than him at center. He's just that type of guy.

[Pointguard]

They counting on KG inspiring him? Wow.

Wade/Ray Ray
LeBron/Battier

End of game crunchtime lineup:

Wade
Allen
Battier

Depending on the situation Chalmers and Cole could also be in there over Batman. It's not impossible to think that their PG's could be the best tandem in the league. They play differently but both are effective.

haha you're butthurt

[El Kabong]

Can't be any worse than what they've got, but I can't help but think Darko doesn't have the mental fortitude to deal with a situation like Miami or players like LeBron or Wade.

[el gringos]

Melo is a joke and i would put my life on him never winning anything as a 1st option.
What about putting something with value up?

I'd say the Miami Heat organisation is a championship organisation, which has been pretty classy bar the big 3 intro.

[LiLharvard]

G-train has never been to Miami in his life.

[DaSeba5]

Yah there's a lot of loyalty and a family environment here, but we've had some physical dudes looking for a fight. We're definitely not a dirty organization full of arrogant scumbags like everyone thinks.

[kentatm]

You guys need to stop that lol, Melo is going to end up in the Hall of Fame one day. He's a great player.

Come to Atlanta Darko.
He'll get 20-24 minutes as a starter at center and power forward.

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

My sources tell me that if Darko commits to the Heat... the Heat will have 4 out of the top 5 picks from the 2003 draft.

[Lebron23]

Heat showing some interest on Darko Milicic.

http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/sports/Heat-Showing-Interest-in-Darko-Milicic-163362196.html

[Hank]

I have no problem bringing in the Serb for the vet minimum $1.3M. The Heat are so dominant everywhere else that they just need a big body there who's not totally useless. He would be better than Pittman by a mile ( Pittman is atrocious)

A 7-foot 275 pound body who can absorb 15-18 minutes per game allowing Bosh to rest up for the playoffs is nice. The Heat got Ray Allen to rest Wade up for the postseason. Spoelstra said he will decrease all of Wade's, Lebron's and Bosh's minutes in the regular season next year to make sure they are all fresh and ready to go come playoff time.

Bringing in Darko and Rashard would lend to that for Bosh

so the heat will be that "unfortunate" team that lands him, as you so delicately put it?

[InfiniteBaskets]

We just need prime Shaq and then we're good to go.

[Askmeificare]

in Pat we trust

Can't see it happening. Pretty sure he was one of the locker room problems that Love was talking about. It might happen if Pat is confident that he wont act like a moron.

Darko punking Griffin:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QxfvzzK-KYE

for most team's looking for a real contributor Darko would be almost useless. but not on Miami's roster.

Lebron Wade and Bosh are all very good passers making things very easy for Darko . He could be useful getting whatever 10, 15, or even 20 minutes here and there. As I said Spoelstra's top goal is to preserve guys in the regular season next year, he just said that in an interview that it's one of his goals to lower Lebron's Wade's and Bosh's minutes to have them fresh for the playoffs.

Of the 4 teams originally interested in Darko the clippers and bulls have signed backup bigs. Only the Heat and Nets are left. If his attitude is right and he wants championships and great notoriety he'll suck it up and join the Heat

The guy can have a great game scoring a bunch of pts then disappear on the scorecard in his next 3 or 4 games. But the beauty of the Heat is the Big 3 are so good and the Heat are so deep that they don't need the same consistent contributors every night. Wade Lebron and Bosh will get their's, and as we saw there's different role players contributing almost every game. Miller nailing 7 three's, or Chalmers going for 25 pts vs OKC as he did in the finals, it will be Ray Allen going for 25 pts some nights, Haslem going for 14 pts, Rashard Lewis could be the guy the next night contributing with 18 pts.. Darko could be a guy giving us 14 pts in a tight game, and from a position on the court no one expected .. etc etc

[Hank]

Darko with 23 points, 16 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 5 assists against the Los Angeles Fakers recently:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPPszol0KCk

Against LA, Darko was just the 2nd player in Wolves' history to accomplish at least 20 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks and 5 assists :oldlol:

[Hank]

G - Mario Chalmers / Norris Cole / Terrell Harris
G - Dwyane Wade / Ray Allen / Mike Miller
F - LeBron James / Shane Battier / James Jones
F - Chris Bosh / Udonis Haslem / Rashard Lewis
C - Darko Milicic / Joel Anthony / Justin Hamilton



goodnight rest of the NBA

THE 2004 DREAM TEAM HEAT!!

#1, #2, #4, #5 picks all on the same team from that draft

LOL

I believe it was actually 2003 that these players were drafted.

It's crazy but if I had to pick between the 2nd pick of that draft or the 3rd pick, I'd still go with Darko over Melo at this point, simply due to the way the Heat are structured.

[lilgodfather1]

Come on down Darko join the team. 2003 draft class reunion down in South Beach, we're serving championships as the main course. 2014 guarateed Mo Williams is a member of the Heat (2003 draftee as well). Starting line of Mo/Wade/LeBron/Bosh/Darko baby.
