Quick quiz: What was missing from the league last season? If you answered 16 games on the schedule per squad, you are technically correct (and sort of a smart-ass). However, if you possess a keener, kookier eye for the game, you'll have noticed the league was lacking a bewhiskered, bygone Bobcats bust: Adam Morrison*. The man who looks like he makes his own trail mix has signed with the Trailblazers, after a stint in Serbia and time in Turkey. The contract is one-year for the veteran's minimum, so there's as good a chance that Morrison winds up on the roster opening day as there is that he winds up on the set of Portlandia^.
Speaking of draft disappointments, Darko Milicic, who we're now calling "Amnesty International," following his release by the Timberwolves, toyed with a European reunion before choosing the Celtics. There are Darko days ahead in Boston and we envision Kevin Garnett dressing him down so much that KG ultimately uses him as a coat rack. Milicic's presence will be petty, except when holding petticoats.
*And if you had paid even closer attention, you'd have observed that he was actually absent from the association for 2 years.
^We're sure the producers find the idea of a locally-sourced actor appealing. Morrison may not be free-range, but he's definitely long-range.
