just curious- totally civil. personally, i honestly don't think darko serves any purpose on that roster- but that's coming from my third person's point-of-view, and it means nothing. you might be closer to the scene, i dunno.

In that past, Joe has shown no hesitation in trading players that he doesn't think have it. Including high lottery picks.
To this point, he's declined all offers made for Darko. Atlanta offered Al Harrington for Darko last summer and Joe wouldn't budge. There was a lot of talk around New Years 2004 of Detroit swinging a deal with Portland for Rasheed Wallace, but all talks broke down when Joe refused to include Darko as part of any package (and we would later learn how highly Joe thinks of Rasheed).
You want to know what purpose Darko serves on Detroit's roster?

It's called a GM planning for both the present AND the future. Ben and Rasheed aren't going to be 31 forever. What a concept.
