Will Darko Be Back Next Year?

The Minnesota Timberwolves took some risk by taking on center Darko Milicic’s salary for the remaining part of the year.

But will we see Darko in a Wolves’ uniform after this season?

Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune reports Milicic answered yes when asked if he would return to the Timberwolves next season if the team guaranteed him a starting job and 30 to 35 minutes a game.

Not exactly groundbreaking considering most players would say the same thing if they were promised a starting role after riding the bench for several teams for most of their NBA career.

Milicic also mentioned that the team would have to make off-season moves that proves things are bound to get better.

Certainly making the team better is in team president David Kahn’s plan, but promising him a starting job doesn’t seem likely.  Power forward’s Al Jefferson or Kevin Love probably don’t like the idea of being the sixth-man.
