JR Smith went to NY because Paul had already recruited KMart and the Clips spent their MLE on him. Follow the money. It's what NBA players do.
Diaw is fat but he's been fatter. He looks like he's lost some weight from the beginning of this season. Hopefully he uses this time off to mix in a few salads before the Bobcats officially waive him.
Took me a while to translate that but nice work with the JR Reid reference, even if accidental.
Usually, I'd agree but Parker and Diaw are best, best friends. This isn't a regular situation. If the money is similar, I'd be surprised if Diaw decided against playing with Parker, tbh.
Well, you see Diaw playing against Spurs one week ago. That's way more telling than some kind of pictures. Even with all his flaws, I still take Diaw over Blair and Bonner.

Yes I'm aware of the weight issue. That doesn't mean he can't play though. From what I saw out of him against the Spurs a few days ago he looked pretty good out there. Better than Blair.
Yeah, it's something like that...well...actually...no, it isn't.
Just do it... for the fouls if anything.
He's fat, and shooting 41% for the year. That's more indicative than maybe manning it up for one game to not embarrass one's self in front of one's best friend.
Couldn't this same logic be applied to playing on the same team with that best friend?
He's still a great passer with a high bbiq. He's decent size, can hit an open shot and can rebound at a decent rate. Not too sure why you wouldn't want him and other than rebounding i'm not sure what Blair is better at. He's certainly just as out of shape and lazy as Diaw if that's what you are labeling him.
Diaw at his worst is still a better option than Blair. I'm not sure how one could argue otherwise.
He might die trying to exert that effort every game.
big mac diaw baby!!
FG%? Rebounding? It's not like either defend.
Blairs FG% would be just as bad if he was on Charlotte lmao. Without those point blank setups he's probably around the 20% mark
yeah, that was a brainfart. Not sure where my head was at.
That would be plural. As in MANY Big Macs.
As a free pickup at the minimum, I'm for it. We need another NBA big body. Just don't expect much more than that bare minimum level.
Uh, no. Blair's bread and butter is the pick and roll. He understands how to set the screen and the angle to roll to the hoop to receive the pass. EVery one pretty much runs the pick and roll, even Charlotte.
Lol you put Diaw on the Spurs and his FG% is above or near 50%. That argument is irrelevant tbqh
Halo effect in effect.
Not really. That's just what happens to role players when you play with Tony, Manu and Tim.
They got on Blair for being overweight last season, so to think they'd bring in another overweight, undersized four -- who by most measures has been worse in recent seasons -- and have him immediately take Blair's job, is probably unlikely.
They'd probably put him through a rigorous mini training camp, a la Nowitzki, for a week or so before he joined the team, if/when they sign him. And then have him on a strict diet for the remainder of the season.
He does run it well with Manu. Hopefully that part of his game improves. He bails on picks too soon too often with the other guys and for someone slowfooted like Neal that doesn't help.
if we needed to go "hard" for diaw, why didn't we do it for Kmart? i would have much preferred a defensive-minded PF.
