Darko To The Grizz/Diener and Outlaw Out

Gotta make this short and sweet because today is a crazy busy day:

-Darko's going to the Grizzlies to team up with Pau Gasol. This doesn't really bother me since we already knew he was gone and he is out of the Eastern Conference. He will team up with Iavaroni who is a good big man coach, so if he doesn't blossom there he never will.

In other news, Diener and Outlaw apparently are out as members of the Magic. This undoubtedly has to do with having to renounce their contracts to make room to pay Rashard Lewis the sky and the moon. Outlaw never really made a huge impact on the game and fans with his second stay in Orlando, but I wish him all the best. Diener, on the other hand, was much beloved by fans (I feel like I'm writing a eulogy) and many are going to be sad to see him gone. Chants of "Doogie!" will no longer be heard at games. He had promise, but found himself in Brian Hill's doghouse inexplicably after performing well in spot duty. Sad, sad. Travis, we hardly knew ye.

Other than that, the team seems to be taking a collective breather after a crazy beginning to the free agency period. Hopefully we address the PF and SG spots soon.
