Darko Update

According to Phil Jasner, the 76ers continue to pursue Darko.

I would think that if Larry Brown is in any way associated with the Sixers, which I guess he still is currently, there is no chance that you'll see Darko in Philly. He won't come. I'm not even sure he'd help....what does he give you that Sammy D. and Jason Smith don't? I'd rather have Joe Smith.

I also think that someone will offer much more money than the Sixers will.

Darko? Pass

Phil Jasner writes about Tony DiLeo inquiring about Darko...

Thank goodness for the Luxury tax because you know they won't pay a penny over it for him...its scary when that's what stops the team from investing in itself.

From Phil Jasner today:

Add longtime NCAA and former New Jersey Nets analyst Bill Raftery to the list of people contacted by Comcast SportsNet as a potential successor to Steve Mix as the Sixers' TV analyst. Raftery, a onetime star guard at La Salle, is recovering from hip-replacement surgery.



I got no problem spending 100 nights w/ Mr. Raftery (The 76ers plus college games).
