Darko on Broadway?

Word in rumor-ville is that New York and Memphis are closing in on a trade: “The Knicks are on the verge of acquiring the second pick of the NBA draft. The second pick of the 2003 draft, that is. A deal that would send Quentin Richardson to Memphis for Darko Milicic, the player selected after LeBron James and before Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade, is close to being finalized. The 7-foot Milicic has been a disappointment since entering the league but he would give the Knicks a shot-blocker on their front line. Both Milicic and Richardson are entering the last year of their contracts. ‘We’re just having conversations,’ said one Knicks source. ‘Nothing is done yet.’”
