PISTONS SEE THE LIGHT!

Seeya Darko. We'll not miss your apathy or your 50% effort on the basketball floor. We'll not miss your entitlement attitude. Guess what Darkster, just because a mistake was made and Joe thought you were worthy to be a 2nd round pick, doesn't mean that you are entitled to play. What its meant for you, however, was that you could pocket alot of coin for sitting on padded folding chair in crowded arenas. Your apathy, of course, didn't do much for team spirit. At the very least, you could have made some kind of effort. I mean how difficult is it to give 100% - leave it all on the floor - for a 2 minute stretch of game time? Do you think that it's not cool to hustle when you're on the floor with the best players in the world? Didn't you learn anything about hustle from Ben and Sheed? I'm afraid you've squandered a golden opportunity. Orlando may be the best home for you. Maybe the DeVos family, or some of your teammates (Howard and Grant Hill) can teach you about work ethic. For your sake, I hope so. Maybe we'll see you in the playoffs in a few years, but I won't be surprised it you'll be Orlando's human cigar.
