Utah was one of the five teams on his list? Probably because of Gobert.
For who
I wonder if we get anything more than cap space?
R.I.P. Bobo *sniff
:bobo
Ugh hopefully we get something in return and not just lose more depth
Woj: "Jazz sending rights to 2015 second-round pick Olivier Hanlan, who played overseas last year. Deal allows the Spurs space to sign Pau Gasol."
I doubt Spurs get anything!
Utah likely will benefit given they need some veteran leadership. Jazz have a lot of youth and talent.
Dang no Diaw, no West, likely no Duncan.
This is shaping up to be a weird roster for us used to the status quo.
Bobo gave us some great years and was huge in the championship....lotta love for him.
I'm fine with trading him away but looks like this was a straight salary dump. Honestly, I have no idea what the front office is doing the last couple of days tbh.
Welp....
:bobo
Everyone Google Olivier Hanlan! :lol
I will miss Boris but he wore out his welcome. Just glad he's not going to the Warriors too.
:bobo
Thanks for a great 4.5 years here Boris! I'll never forget the 26 points he stuck on OKC to close them out in their building in Game 6 of the 2014 WCF.
Contract year Diaw should be a big help for them, they desperately need playmaking..a team that doesn't even have a legit NBA PG:lol
No more bitching about the Diaw-West lineup.
Happy, spurstalk?
Olivier Hanlan ... Canadian guard playing now in Lithuania.... sheesh!
And of course spurs get shit in return
Thanks for these years Boris, you were awesome when you wanted to play.
Wow, au revior Bobo - thanks for your play during the drive for five.
:bobo
RIP Turd Towers, lost em in less than 10 minutes :lol
Thanks Boris, almost won a FMVP with us. A beast when motivated :tu
Thanks :bobo
Good luck in Utah.

So long Bobo, you'll be missed.
:bobo
In other news, :lmao PATFO.
Diaw was one of the reasons Spurs won 2014.
He just didn't step up last year when he was needed. Maybe he couldn't against bigger Kanter and Adams.
But Pop really soured on him. Not going to work out after that.
Hanlan was in last night's summer league game. Does he move to our SL roster now?
:depressed

I honestly am questioning whether they plan to bring Manu back, no Timmy/Boris.....
Sorry man, Turd Towers were Bonner + Blair. The Diaw + West combo was nowhere close to as bad as they were.Quote:

Yet Bonner remains...
The true alpha Frenchie on that 2014 run
Someone thought we should have started Dwest. :lmao Chinook
Duncan's status has zippo to do with Gasol.Quote:

You gotta look at it more as Diaw + West for Gasol. Tim was retiring anyways and if he wants to come back the Spurs still have the money to do it.Quote:

Yeah, maybe. Seems to be a decent sized guard with a 34" vertical. Well, stashed in Europe.Quote:

Diaw is a dice-roll. And also 2 years removed from his 2014 incarnation. Just because it's a contract year, there's no guarantee he'll reach that level again because he's "motivated." And West had the worst net-rating in the OKC series among all Spurs. Also worth mentioning is that Gasol is one of the best passing bigs in the NBA from the post, so we add another playmaker to the SL, something that was desperately needed.
Thanks for the 2013 Finals Bobo. Sorry we couldn't convert. Thanks for the good years.
Yeah man, Boris was one of the great supporting players the Spurs have ever had. I'd put him right up there with Horry, Rose, and no one else when it comes to contributions from role players. I mean the guy completely eviscerated the back to back champion Heat. I'll have nothing but great memories about the time Diaw was a Spur and wish him nothing but good fortune this summer in the Olympic Qualifiers (and hopefully Olympics) and in Utah next year. I hope he gets a hell of an ovation at the AT&T Center the first time he checks in when Utah comes to town.Quote:

I just think that the Spurs could have eeked out a 1st rounder for him. He's on a terrific contract and is still a name in this league. I understand that it was to free up space for Pau, but honestly i'd rather they have not signed Pau and packaged Diaw/Timmy's contract for another solid, young player.....
I thought the same. Good acquisition for them. Utah is a potential playoff team if healthy. They added veterans in Diaw and George Hill. Good environment for Diaw too bc of his friend Gobert there and George Hill. He will mentor Utah youngster Trey Lyles very well too.Quote:

I hope he stays coasting in Utah and doesn't mean to kill us when we meet him. The man still has game when he wants to have game. :lol
Farewell Bobo!
:bobo
Too late of a move, we should have dump him last year and then we could have kept cojo, pop always wrong on those dicisions!
First the Turd Towers, then Diaw-West, and what's next? Pop trotting out Kyle and Lalanne as the two bigs?Quote:

Sigh...necessary evil, tbh. You'll be missed Bobo. Thanks for helping us get a title and best of luck to him. :bobo
This. Compared to the roster going into last season I can see what this (as yet incomplete) roster looks worse, but with West probably wanting to leave, Diaw going back to coasting, and Duncan finally being caught by Father Time, Gasol is about as good a short-term solution as you'll see.Quote:

What are the details of the trade? (haven't seen them yet)
I like Hanlan. It's like getting another first this year. That'd be even better hand Utah gave another second as well.
Oh, and has Duncan "officially" retired?
Duncan off the bench as the backup big would be fantastic, and he might consider one more go now that we got Pau (remember, the rumors started of his retirement before the Pau signing).
Knees might be able to withstand 18-20 min per game.
no way spurs get a first when teams knw hes getting dumped and his value bottomedQuote:

I hope this means we're gonna see an influx of young talent to fill out the roster. Jean-Charles, Milutinov, Murray and maybe some others.

Boris was a great player and at times the best player on the team. Will always remember his clutch 3 at Dallas and the sick dime he had to Tiago vs the Heat.
FWIW, I think Gasol is one of the all-time most underrated players. Lakers were shit and Kobe wanted to be traded before Pau joined them.

One of my favourite Spurs, a great guy and so fun to watch when he was on the court, but it was the right time to move on
Pop putting too much emphasis on losing to OKC. Durant's gone and so will Westbrooke next year - don't need to worry about being outplayed by OKC's big and so no need for Gasol. GSW is where the big problem with be and Diaw is much more valuable against GSW than Gasol - he'll be riding the bench as LMA plays center when they go micro ball.
Same here. Damn, between this and Tim possibly retiring, I'm pretty bummed right now.Quote:

Maybe Diaw and Georgie can put in good words for us so we land Gobert
Nope, let them go micro ball. Spurs will go big and pound them into submission.Quote:

I would have rather had him stay in game shape and earn the $7M. That contract would have been a bargain had he not suffered from a two-year Finals hangover.
We need that sort of matchup problem to throw at other teams. His impact in 2013 and 2014 was no joke....a big part of why we made it to two straight Finals.
Absolutely zero guarantee that would happen, which was the issue. Writing was on the wall as this article explains http://www.expressnews.com/sports/co...bo-7513875.phpQuote:
