The New York Knickerbockers President of Basketball Operations Donnie Walsh announced Thursday night that center Darko Milicic has been acquired from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for guard/forward Quentin Richardson and cash considerations.
?When building a team, it is invaluable to have a skilled big man such as Darko,? Walsh said. ?He is the type of player with strong high-post play that will complement Eddy Curry?s low-post game. He will thrive in Coach D?Antoni?s system.
?It is very tough to lose such a great veteran like Quentin who has meant so much to this team,? Walsh added. ?We thank him for all of his efforts over the past four seasons.?
