Darko Milicic to sign with Boston

[SevereUpInHere]

Yes, a physical beating.

Damn, Griffin has that face down pat! On legit fouls like the ones above and on actual flops!

[B-Easy8]

When Darko tryed he was actually a good C. His hook shot starts falling, he blocks a lot of shots and he plays good D. 95% of the time he doesn't try and he will give you nothing.

[G-train]

No idea why Miami didn't pick him up. Sure, he's shit but then again he's a better shit than Dexter Pittman.

a) Useless in their defensive system
b) He might be legitimately insane

[G-train]

All the morons calling this team "old" are going to be surprised at how young and athletic they are.

All I want for Christmas is a healthy Celtics team come playoff time.

2 of their 3 best players are 35ish. 6th man is 35. That's a big chunk of minutes.
Rondo and Bradley are fast, no one else really stands out as an athlete. Sure some role players are young and not unathletic, but nothing surprising really.

gotta be better than ryan hollins or whatever his name is.

[nycelt84]

I doubt he'll play more than 10 minutes in a single game barring some major injuries.

[MiseryCityTexas]

I agree, but I hope he surprises us. He's only 27, at least we're not signing another old guy like Shaq or JO.

27 is damn near old.

I like where this thread is going.

i wish lakers got him

[plowking]

Someone else gets it. Dorko is the most mentally soft player I've ever seen. Unless he is getting pampered by the coach/team mates he completely checks out. KG is going to eat him alive.

LOL at mentally weak.

Darko would slap the shit out of KG if he even tried to talk to him the wrong way.

[bdreason]

Darko is actually a good defender. Nice add.

[R.I.P.]

Case for Darko being useful:

Pistons send him away.
Magic send him away.
Grizzlies send him away.
Knicks send him away.
Wolves pay him to stay away.
Bobcats rather bid on Brendan Haywood.
Nets rather signed Andray Blatche for better work ethic and higher basketball IQ.

But Darko is still better than Ryan Hollins.

Good signing. Dude had really high expectations coming into the league. With a coach like Doc and veteran guys around him, he should have all the tools to have a good season.

This will be key. If he listens to Garnett and the two get along in training and it shows on the court, Darko could be a great defensive piece this season (if motivated). Not a bad signing for the minimum. Low risk, high reward type deal.
