He's not a piece because we weren't going to pay him. This team didn't need to commit any salary to a wing player who is overrated on defense, can't shoot and shoots too often, and wouldn't get that much time playing behind Melo anyway. Who cares if he went to the Mavericks, he can be their 12th man because Cuban doesn't mind paying for players but we need to budget our money for the next couple years.
Darko admitted himself he didn't work as hard as he is now when he was in NY, I think he even apologized to us for it. Short of a few insane games, he hasn't done too much to write home about for the Wolves.
Randolph has yet to do anything substantial in any of the 3 teams he's been on. He's pure potential who might never put it together who has a poor attitude and when he had the chances didn't do much here.
Anyway, this will be a tough one tonight. Dwight is going to punish us for sure, so we need to let him get his but shut down the rest of the Magic's shooters. Amare needs to stay out of foul trouble if we want a chance, and attack D12 early in hopes of getting him on the bench.
