Pistons get Cato, first-round pick for Darko, Arroyo ESPN.com news services
The Detroit Pistons traded forward-center Darko Milicic and point guard Carlos Arroyo to the Orlando Magic for Kelvin Cato and a 2007 first-round pick, ESPN.com learned Wednesday.
The little-used Milicic appeared in 25 games for the Pistons this season, averaging 1.5 points per game in 5.6 minutes. Arroyo, a reserve guard, averaged 3.2 points and 3.1 assists in 50 games for Detroit.
Cato averaged 13 minutes in 23 with the Magic, averaging 3.8 points and 2.7 rebounds.

If Pistons are trading Darko, it's because he is a bust. Just guessing though.

i have a feeling Darko's gonna be like Nenad Kristic type player
soft but has the touch in the inside game....how can you call someone a bust when they only played during garbage time against the other team's garbage. did you go around watching the pistons pracitice facility and see that Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallce, McDyess and other big man schooling him during scrimmage? Magic's gonna probably start him next season, Dwight + Milicic looks pretty nice if Darko can average 10ppg 10rpg like mr Kristic

Yea but if u cant crack the rotation..then you have to know somethin si up.. I mean the dude is 20 years old, and every F/C on the team is 30+. So if they thought of him as a non bust then, they would have hung on to him for when one of the Wallaces or botha re ready to hang it up.

From the Detroit News...
There is a chance that Kelvin Cato (foot) might never play for the Pistons.
Cato is 31 and idle because of a broken bone in his right foot. He had shoulder surgery over the summer and has played in only 23 games with the Magic. One of the major reasons the Pistons made the deal was to free up cap room so they could re-sign both Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace next season.

I really would like to see Darko break out for the Magic i believe hes got the talent and now hell get the minutes lets just hope theres people around him in Orlando to help build his confidence. its funny because the better Darko does the better the Magic do the worse the pick Detriot got becomes for them.
