I understand that and I even brought it up earlier on. He's not afraid to admit a mistake, but by trading Darko for a player with a higher value isn't admitting a mistke, it's making a move to make your team better. I don't know how many times it has to be said that this isn't the Darko Pistons, it's the Detroit Pistons.

Al Harrington isn't a player I have anything against. I know he can score and rebound and cause match up problems. When push comes to shove, I don't want to trade a phyiscal freak who's about 7'2" for a undersized 4. I just don't think it's worth us risking what Darko could be for possibly a one year rent. Who is to say Harrington even likes it here and wants to stay beyond next season? Remember Ben and Prince get new deals after season too, we can't tie up all that money and blow by the luxury tax.

All that would be worked out before a trade is made. Dumars wouldn't just bring a guy in who he thought would be a problem. Anyways speaking of the cap all these deals will lap over each other anyway and like I said earlier with the way the GM's are throwing out money you don't think Darko is going to get a good deal? He'll get more if not than same than Harrington and Harrington's already proven he'll at least be worth it. I probaly wouldn't make the deal if we didn't already have 3 big men and a 6'7" big man outplaying him already. I just don't see Darko getting on the level of either of the Wallace's or Dice, so his "production" and "productivity" will be easy to replace.
All I know is Darko better turn into a hell of a player. And maybe me not seeing Darko ever become a 20 and 10 guy has my view slanted a little.
