Darko Milicic has played more since being traded by the Knicks to the Timberwolves last month, but his plans haven't changed.

"When I look back now, this isn't how my career was supposed to look," said Milicic. "Being a defensive guy, all of this time not playing, that's not how I saw my career, that's not how I enjoy playing. That's why I've decided to take a shot and go back to Europe. I'm 24, I'm still young. So I can still be happy overseas."

Milicic has repeatedly said that he was lied to earlier in his career.

"Everybody said this is how it goes in the NBA," Milicic said. "You've got to watch first, you've got to learn. It's all bull. I didn't learn anything by watching. There is no practice in the world even close to game situations. They're trying to keep you happy, trying to keep you thinking your time is around the corner, but it's a lie. You can't keep everybody happy. But I was in the flow and listened to them. And now it's too late."
