I wounder who is tradeble on Pistons now. I am sure we could get some talent from them by tradeing Bobby Jackson to them. Bobby JAckson is what they need a good back up guard. Maybe Darko
No chance the Pistons trade Darko at this point --- they'd be admitting failure, and if LB is out of Detroit after this year, that will give Dumars a chance to bring in a coach that will commit to developing Darko. For some reason or another, Big Ben seems to be showing signs or wear and tear. Darko could probably use some minutes.
Shame of the thing about Darko is that if he is indeed as talented as all of those pundits made him out to be two years ago, he's wasting away on the bench and not being developed, and the Pistons may be trying to force a square peg into a round hole by putting him at PF or C. I'm not saying he could be the next Dirk or anything, but it wouldn't hurt to at least give the guy some time at some point next year. I understand not giving him time on a championship level team, but if the Pistons don't succeed in digging themselves out of this 0-2 hole they're in, they need to start developing Darko. Trading him for bench fodder would seem like a give-in at this point, and I don't see Dumars doing that.
