Re: Dumars to Knight - Darko for Al Harrington : (link)
Just what the Pistons had to say about this whole thing

The Pistons never offered to trade Darko Milicic to the Atlanta Hawks for small forward Al Harrington, despite a report that they did, Pistons vice president John Hammond said Tuesday.
|
Quote:
"It's something that is almost ongoing," Hammond said of calls about Milicic. "Darko Milicic has a lot of value in this league, and there are a lot of teams that would love to acquire him through a trade. We get trade offers on Darko a lot, especially at times like the trade deadline and during the draft."
"He is an investment of ours," Hammond said.

Quote:
Hammond said Joe Dumars, the Pistons' president of basketball operations, lumps Milicic along with the starters on an informal untouchable list.
"Joe hates to have an untouchable list," Hammond said. "But people kinda know that if you call for Chauncey Billups or Ben Wallace or any of those guys, people in the league know they're kind of untouchable.
"Over the course of the last few months, Darko has kind of somewhat been in that category."
