DARKO SEES DEAL TO KNICKS

Darko Milicic was quoted in a Serbian newspaper as saying he believes it’s “99 percent” sure he’ll become a Knick by the end of this week.

The Grizzles and Knicks have had month-long talks in which Zach Randolph would be part of a deal for Milicic and Marko Jaric. The deal would save the Knicks $10 million off the salary cap in 2010 in their attempt to get under to sign a prominent free agent such as LeBron James.

Agent Marc Cornstein told The Post Saturday he thought a deal “could happen,” but a source close to Knicks president Donnie Walsh indicated over the weekend talks appeared to be in a lengthy stalemate.
