Boris Diaw Buyout Complete (Update: Spurs Frontrunners)

[NASpurs]

@GDWine: @JMcDonald_SAEN Just so you know RT @WojYahooNBA: Spurs emerge as frontrunners for Boris Diaw... http://tinyurl.com/73asoyy

that dude sucks. What is Ludden doing these days anyway? Haven't seen any of his work in a while.

[HeroSquad]

I'm a sucker for blocked shots.

Where's Fab when you need him? He would be the answer to all our problems...

Damn, Woj needs to keep quiet. Last thing the Spurs need is for someone to waiver claim Diaw to block him from the Spurs. It's unlikely but not impossible.

[TimmehC]

And now watch Portland claim him.

Oh good grief. Don't give them any ideas.

who can get him? His contract is not small.

[manufan10]

Spurs are the frontrunners should Diaw clear waivers.

Duncan
Diaw
Jackson
Ginobili
Parker

Splitter
Leonard
Neal


That'd be a rather nice eight man rotation for the playoffs

Don't forget Danny Green! (assuming he finds some sort of consistency in his game)

No Blair, Bonner and Jefferson replaced with Jackson? Yeah I'll take that.

At least I'm assuming Pop would play that lineup in the playoffs.

Y! Sources: Spurs emerge as frontrunners for Boris Diaw should he clear waivers.

Great news.

If Spurs can get Diaw, they would have ad a heck of a trade deadline period. The Jackson trade was great, Mills is a nice recovery from Ford retirement and Diaw should help Spurs a lot.

The Parker to Diaw connection is sick, well, was sick:

If trimmed to eight players, I wouldn't include Green. It'd come down to Green or Leonard and I'd go with Leonard every time.





As for waivers, the only team I'm a little worried about is the Raptors. They love international players, Bryan Colangelo was the one who brought Diaw to PHX and they could use some passing. It's not likely but I wouldn't rule it out.

Best passing lineup ever?

Good point. Jackson would be the worst passer and he's an above average passer for a swingman.

Hopefully the Spurs sign him and then hopefully Pop ends the Blair experiment in time.

[Chomag]

I'm still having a hard time understanding why so many of you are so high on this guy. He doesnt seem all the much better, or bring anything to the table that Bonner does. I understand He has much more talent then Bonner, but he seems to work much less harder as a player. Wouldnt that just balance it out?

There must be something you guys are seeing in him that I'm just not seeing. I guess anything is better then seeing Bonner, and or Blair in there.

To be honest I would much rather Splitter just get more minutes, but well I dont think that will ever happen with Pop making the call.

crofl no way Pop doesn't play Bonner in the PO, let's face it. We'll get as far as Bonner takes us.

[slick'81]

damn i dont want to get my hopes up but this would be fantastic\\\

he heads and shoulders above bonner and blair in just basketbsll skills alone

[HeroSquad]

I think Splitter should wear a red wig come playoff time. Maybe Pop won't notice the difference...

That way I see it is a direct comparison to Blair. They are both great passers but I give Diaw the edge in decision making. Blair is a better rebounder but Diaw can actually shoot the ball and has 4 inches on Blair.

That's what i was thinking but i think they'd be scared off by the way Boris acted in CHA when things went downhill. Can't imagine he'd be a much better solider with the Raptors.
