Agent: Darko Will Never Play For Orlando If Smith Is GM
July 3, 2007 - 8:32 pm
Orlando Sentinel -

Darko Milicic will never play for the Orlando Magic this season or any other "as long as Otis Smith is general manager," an irate Marc Cornstein, told the Sentinel.

Late Tuesday, shortly after the Magic withdrew their qualifying offer to Milicic -- whom Smith had said was a priority before the free-agent courting period began -- Cornstein blasted Smith for being a "liar." He called Smith's handling of his client "deceitful, disrespectful and a disgrace."

Cornstein said Smith had indicated that the Magic wanted to re-sign Milicic, but then sent an e-mail to him Tuesday telling him they had withdrawn their qualifying offer and made him an unresticted free agent.

Said Smith, "Our goals remain the same. To sign a free agent and try to retain Darko."

Magic Withdraw Qualifying Offer to Milicic

July 3, 2007

ORLANDO, FL -- The Orlando Magic have withdrawn its qualifying offer to Darko Milicic, making him an unrestricted free agent, General Manager Otis Smith announced.

With the move, the Magic have relinquished its right of first refusal, but retain the qualifying veteran exception (Bird Rights) and the rights to re-sign him.

Sounds like somebody's pissed. I think the Magic overpaid for Lewis, but it was smarter to overpay for Lewis than to overpay for Darko. Darko is never going to be anything more than an average defensive PF/C with moderate scoring skills. Why pay that guy $10 million a year.

Since the Sonics have no real legit center wouldnt a sign and trade for Darko plus other salary cap filler have made a lot more sense?

Why would they want to develope Darko when they are trying to develop Petro and Sene and some other two or three centers on the roster.


Maybe Joe Dumars is interested in bringing Darko back.

Darko's just 22. He's going to be a good (not great) center in this league.

I believe if they had faith in any of their centers they wouldnt keep drafting and trading for more. Darko is well ahead of those guys

Darko: 8 pts 5.5 rebs 4 year pro

Petro: 6.2 pts 4.1 rebs 2 year pro

I hardly think Darko is well head if anything Petro just might be well ahead of the pace Darko has set.

If your agent is talking that reckless without your consent, well then its time to get a new one... I'm sure those are his words.
