If Odom can't even get it up to play for the defending champs, just imagine him on the freaking Bobcats.
I know he doesn't have a say in a trade, but why would the Bobcats bother taking Odom if Diaw is willing to take a small pay cut in a buyout?
I really don't understand the Mavs using Chandler's money on Odom. Sure Chandler has more money and years on his contract but they could have least kept him and tried to trade him after this year. That's basically what they're doing with Odom. They're giving him a one year test run.

Chandler was a FA and wanted multiple years at high dollars. It would have been hard to move him next summer. They punted by sign and tradng him to NY and then filling his trade exception with Odom's expiring contract from LA. Now, they definitely have cap space in the summer.

The Bobcats are discussing "several deals" for Boris Diaw, and the Pacers also had multiple scenarios on hold waiting for word on Dwight.
Lets hope those several deals fall apart

Also he is suppose to be active tonight

Plan is for Boris Diaw to be active tonight. Could be his last game with #Bobcats.
Yup just saw that, it was too good to be true tbh.
If the Bobcats are willing to take back bad contracts in exchange for Diaw so that they can get a couple assets added in as sweetener ... then the chances of Diaw getting traded are like 95%. And it sounds like that's what they are going to do.
Not good news for the Spurs if they wanted Diaw bought out. . .

Just because several deals are being discussed doesn't mean he will be traded.

Meant to ask this earlier but say he was traded, could that team then buy him out and still be eligible to sign with the Spurs?
yes. but they might just use him as expiring. Unless they want to save some money this year.
Same , different trade deadline
not looking good for spurs.
Hope spurs have a back up plan instead "hope for the best"
Rick Bonnell @rick_bonnell
Fred Kerber on Nets beat concurs with me that Howard's current position makes it unlikely that Boris Diaw trade happens.
--
Well hopefully that is one team out of the picture

Oh and he just checked into the game against the Rockets

Not sure why a buyout is unlikely if NJ gets him. They just want next year's salary relief. Once that happens, I think it just as likely they would buy him out as CHA.
Blair with in injury, Diaw could be even more useful based on the severity due to "sticky floor"
Well Howard still cant make up his dang mind...apparently now he does not want to waiver his ETO...he stated he did not understand the full ramifications of doing so...Hmmmm..maybe if he went to college he would have learned some of life's lessons...so Diaw may not be bought out if Howard is still in play..
Yeah but the uncertainty of what Howard will do, can also be a good thing. Might stall just enough time for the trade deadline to pass.
When will Chris Douglas Roberts contract in Italy ends? I'd love to see him as back-up to Kahwi at SF.
More Hoopsworld on a possible New Jersey-Diaw deal:

@KBergCBS Bobcats have no deals currently in place for Boris Diaw or D.J. Augustin.
Diaw and Kaman are going to be sought after hard if/when they bought out.
i wish kaman or diaw will join the SPURS after a buyout!!!!

Asked about a buyout of Diaw, Higgins said that would be discussed in the next few days.
Parker better hold Diaw hostage until he agrees to sign with the Spurs.
With D'Antoni out of NY, where else could he go?
FYI, Diaw has played three seasons with SJax (1 in Atlanta and 2 in Charlotte).
Question Bruno: In your opinion, if Diaw is bought out and it's before Kaman (if he ends up being bought out) do the Spurs have to wait to see on Kaman or do they go for Diaw immediately?
and what about DERECK FISHER as our back up PG....he could get his revenge over LAKERS in PO playing for SPURS!! and he is the typical great veteran as pop like....
diaw & fisher could be really great with the come back of captain jack!!
