Diaw traded to Utah

[YGWHI]

We have Bonner.

[playbonner15]

More playing time for BonBon!!!!

[tmtcsc]

Pau Gasol made 24 3's last year. 1 less than Boris.

[Capt Bringdown]

The enigma known as Diaw. You never knew what you were going to get from him last year.
Good riddance.

[SAGirl]

Slowmo Anderson of course. Will be better than this latter version of Boris guaranteed.

[Sean Cagney]

Bobo gave us some great years and was huge in the championship....lotta love for him.

DAMN right, he was great. I will not forget what he gave 12-14 to the Spurs, he was great during the two finals runs they had. Bobo got fat and lazy after that but paid off with the way he played those two years plus, he was clutch and HUGE part of the beautiful game.

Slowmo Anderson of course. Will be better than this latter version of Boris guaranteed.

That is not saying much or setting the ceiling high.

[testies]

another effect of the West cancer

[kobyz]

This er stole money from us and costs us cojo!!!

[objective]

Jazz radio pbp David Locke's newest Jazz podcast is about 20 minutes of gloating over the Jazz taking advantage of the Spurs moment of weakness and swiping Diaw for next to nothing. Just over-the-moon gushing about the greatness of Dennis Lindsay, so incredibly satiated.

Very grating.

That's pretty telling.

Good riddance.

without him you are short one but yeah good riddance... too bad you are not traded with him to Jazz fans

Lol. Gtfo. He was a role player, just like Parker.

Dem role players can sink ya.

So DWest/Diaw/Timmy for Pau Gasol? Ehhhh, I'd rather they didn't do the Pau signing as a song & dance routine for Kawhi/LMA to make it look like they'll be compe ive this season. Might as well just punt the year and go for a home run next offseason.

And what VIABLE home runs next year are there?

[Keepin' it real]

Slowmo Anderson of course. Will be better than this latter version of Boris guaranteed.

If that is truly your contention, then answer me this: Why all the tears from Spurstalk?

Seriously lol.. But, the issue with Diaw was that dude could be great for us. He could do so many things, and I don't know if Anderson will be able to replicate Diaw 2.0 at all. So we're missing out on some versatility now from that position.

I hope Anderson proves me wrong of course. I know he's doing well this summer league, but I know he did well last year. Gotta see it against elite compe ion first

2014 Thunder game 6 is probably my favorite Spurs game of all-time, and Diaw was arguably the best player on the floor that night..such an entertaining player to watch, too, so effortless and smooth .

Loved that game. He was dominant and OKC wasn't sure how to guard him because he hit 3 3's when he was spotting up against Ibaka and bullying guards and KD when they went small he was in the post backing them down. His 3 at the end of game 5 saved our season vs. Dallas thats also a favorite memory of mine.

[Sean Cagney]

Because they are attached to 2014 Borris and so on in their memories... Hard to let go.

Anderson is not going to be Diaw 2.0, he's definitely not that good of a post player. Post player Diaw is the best Diaw, and Anderson is not that. Although we are likely to see Anderson in the post at times bc he has to develop that game... it just won't be as pretty, or as skillful, but he has to develop it so work in progress it is.

Where Anderson looks to be better though is in perimeter play. He is currently looking like an improved 3 point shooter whereas current Diaw passed up perimeter shots all the time and hadn't made a 3 in months. Kyle is a better jumpshooter and probably better with the basketball, and a very unselfish player, still a good playmaker and you are unlikely to see the ball stick with him either. So long as we keep in mind Kyle is a young player with not that much of experience playing this spot we can be pleasantly surprised. He really might turn out to have a better season that the version of Diaw that is likely to show up in 2016-17.

Diaw's biggest flaw was that he passed up 3s.

[BillMc]

Diaw was one of my favorites. Those 2012-14 Spurs were all damn good, and he was a big part of it then. He peaked in Game 6 against OKC then and then in the Finals. Helped bring us a ring. For that I'll always be a Bobo fan.

Last two years not so good, but that happens. If Boris had a motor and was motivated all the time he'd be a HOFer. He is who he is. Best to him.

[cjw]

This er stole money from us and costs us cojo!!!

So you really wanted to go into last year with just Duncan, Aldridge and Bonner under contract at C/PF (remember that the West signing was after LMA's ... as was Boban's if I remember correctly)?

CoJo was the third PG after Patty resigned and was going to be expensive to keep. Yes, he had a good year in Toronto and would be nice to have now, but hindsight is always 20/20.

[look_at_g_shred]

Thanks for everything Bobo

[RD2191]

Lol. Gtfo. Without him you are short one

Lol. No. Only a french idiot would believe that.
