With Chandler back in the fold you can expect Gallo to get plenty of burn at PF when he comes back. Yes, Depth is nice, but you don't pay some guy 100K a game to sit in street clothes so you can keep him from another team.
Given what Diaw has done this season, I think teams would think twice about trying to make him play someplace he doesn't want to be. I don't know if he would try any harder on a team he liked, but we know damned well what he'll do if he isn't happy.

Denver's got a lot of bigs. Faried is playing great lately, Mozgov is good for his 20 minutes, then of the bench McGee and Harrington are also pretty good and Anderson will now probably be inactive most of the time. Don't see why would they need Diaw even if Danilo is injured. Chandler and Brewer are both better as a SF than Diaw.
Nah, Gallo is a natural SF and he helps to strengthen the bench and won't be competing with Faried and Harrington unless he's pressed into duty because of an unforeseen injury. And I can assure you if the nuggets sign him, it won't be to sit him on the bench in street clothes.
So when does Diaw officially clear waivers?
And if the Spurs use the mini MLE on Diaw, thats close to the going rate for paying out the remainder of his contract.
Tomorrow at 5 central, I think.
Great...thanks! I'd like to see the Spurs get him.
But either way, I just want all this stuff to end already so whatever team we do have, can move forward and concentrate on the task at hand.

Rotoworld predicts Ryan Hollins is the guy, though.Celtics coach Doc Rivers said the team is "close" to signing at least one player.
"It’s close," Rivers said before the team's shootaround at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee Thursday. "We clearly want to sign someone and we think we will. But until we do I’m just going to wait (on the announcement)."
The Celtics, who meet the Milwaukee Bucks Thursday night, could finalize a deal this afternoon.
The Celtics, who lost Jermaine O'Neal (wrist) and Chris Wilcox (heart) recently, took two days off following a 77-73 win in Atlanta Monday.
"I think the rest will be good," Rivers said. "I hope the two days off didn’t throw us out of rhythm. But after watching the Atlanta game, both teams were out of rhythm in that game. That was a big win for us. It was a nasty game, somebody was going to win it, and it was nasty because both teams were defending hard. We’ll take that all day."
Jack was shooting like 35% from the field and 25% from three before coming here. Kind of unprofessional on their part, but you can somewhat understand their lack of motivation on such terrible teams. Both of them clearly wanted out and werent playing their best as a result. The laziness and lack of effort wont fly here though, they both know the Spurs are as professional as they come.
Hes much more talented than either Blair or Bonner, so as long as he takes one of their minutes itll be a good move.

The #Celtics working on contract to sign Ryan Hollins, who just cleared waivers at 2 p.m. Deal could be done as early as today
In order to make room for Hollins, #Celtics expected to waive Chris Wilcox.
BOOM BAAABY..

hard luck with that username![]()
If he can do half the things he did in the video still he will be much more useful than Bonner or Blair
Another question...If we sign Diaw, are we going to have to waive someone? Or are we going to have 14 players on the roster? Are the Spurs willing to pay the extra cap cost to sign him?
I'm also certain with his passing ability he will get Tiago and Tim lots of easy points. He made Kwame Brown look decent there for awhile
FWIW:
Look for Ryan hollins to be in Philly tomorrow w the c's..celts had hoped to add diaw as well, but were not able to get him.

The Mavs have officially waived Sean Williams, trimming their roster down to 14.
Interesting move by the Mavs ... unless Williams requested the move, would seem to imply they want the roster spot for someone else.
Considering that Mavs were clear in their desire for a "big" - Hollins is gone, Turiaf is gone, Kaman probably not being bought out -- Diaw?
That's just me thinking out loud (on twitter). Let the Odom/Diaw jokes roll in.

I sense a blocking move by the Mavs.

Dallas isn't above us in the waiver order, right? So then it comes down to what can be offered, along with whom he'd feel more familiar playing with. Probably Parker & SJax over anyone in Dallas.

Can't help but wonder if Dallas like Diaw, since they just waived Williams, who they liked.
-----
Let the 24 hr torment begin.
Dallas used their mini MLE on VC. Can only offer vet min.
Spurs can offer part/all of mini-MLE.
Hopefully he's not best friends with Mahinmi and Beaubois.![]()
David Aldridge says that Diaw is really out of shape, and would need to get into some type of shape to even help anyone out. It kind of makes me wonder if he'll be able to do that plus catch onto the spurs system in time for the play off push...not sure if its worth it, but hey if there is no body else, then i guess it wouldnt hurt to put some work into him. He definetly can play, when in shape.
Good. We can get them back for taking Corey Brewer and then leaving him to rot on their bench.
