If for no other reason than to replace the current one who's getting old.

Wouldn't mind the Spurs getting him... could be a decent swing-man and would be fairly cheap...

A candy bar is cheap too but I dont want one on my roster.......this guy is very raw....we are tryn to win now so I dont see him helping much.....

What the hell has he done,besides suck?

I would not like to get him!:(

Could see him available for the rest of the MLE or the LLE. I guess the Spurs will pursue a more polished swingman at this point.

I would be cool with Diawara or Barnes... I guess whoever at this point as long as it is not Finley...

Happy thoughts. :danceclub


Diawara is not a terrible player, but at this point he wasn't going to help the Spurs roster. Underwhelming to say the least.

Give me Pargo, warts and all, and a trade. Speaking of trades, Wright is a certain ex-Miami Heat SF at this point. Vaughn and Bonner for Wright. :tu

Miami is a quite good choice for Diawara.
His goal is to be the next Bruce Bowen, he will now have the same coach than the one who develop Bruce.

With a new contract, Diawara could join French NT. French NT results this summer will have an impact on its future and on the number of games Parker will have to play with it.

Bruno, would you agree that Wright is a goner in Miami? Lay aside my silly trade suggestion.

Miami has for sure a logjam at SF with Marion, James Jones, Dorell Wright and now Diawara.
You can realistically expect a trade with Marion or Wright for a PG and/or a center.

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll simply renounce his rights. Riley's too cheap for that, though. He'll want something.
