trade to move Boris Diaw

[montgod]

Interesting if they could work Gibson/Snell (Kawhi's old teammate) for Diaw/Mills...type of trade.

[objective]

Would rather keep Boris and Manu and take chances with Milutinov or Willie effin Reed than sign Pau

Diaw is done. I'm fine with him being traded.
I loved the guy in '14, but since then, hm...

Absolutely, but who would take him?

That would be solid. Gibson is a decent backup for Aldridge

Tim/Bobo >>>> Gasol. People are deluding themselves if they think the Spurs have any chance next year against GS.

Boris has been one of my favorite Spurs ever so this so I'm upset about this. I also think he's one of the few guys we have that can play vs. GS but I guess Pop's just tired of his laziness.

Bye Bobo...

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

They don't need to move Diaw, I don't understand this move unless they'd rather use his money on Bertans, LJC, and/or Marjanovich.

They only have about $10 mil in cap space before trading him.

Parker/Diaw for Jimmy Butler PLEASE.

That still don't help us opening up capspace, tbh.

Now I start to feel why Lorbek was worked up.

you're deluding yourself if you think Tim was going to be anything but older and slower next year and that Boris would recover from being a complacent fatass brah

[SD126]

About damn time. Should have let his lard ass go after '14.

[Spurs9]

There is no realistic move the Spurs can make to beat the warriors now. The only thing they can build now is something entertaning. They wont be in the finals for a long time, start understanding that reality.

[Kikoluna]

Parker/Diaw for Jimmy Butler PLEASE.

With Jimmy Butler we can beat them.

True only gives about a million space. Spurs could always throw in a Simmons, LJC or someone as well

[Leetonidas]

Too bad Spurs can't pry away one of those cheap rookie contract bigs from Philly

Tim is retiring and Bobo will never get in shape. Gasol is the right move. This is all probably moot given either scenario still puts us at a huge disadvantage against GS.

Haha! You wish! No way Chicago does that!

Combined they're better. Gasol individually is the best of the three right now, but he has the same limitations as Tim while Bobo gives the Spurs the only mismatch they had against the Dubs. On top of that it'd be a contract year for Bobo ala 2014.

We are a defensive PG away from giving the dubs fits.

[dbestpro]

With Diaw and West most likely gone does that mean Bonner will be the backup PF?

I agree somewhat but still, they're not a combined player and Duncan retiring is his own personal decision. So basically Spurs are going with Gasol over Diaw which, given the last season, is probably the right move. Spurs can only do so much, unfortunately the best team got the best FA and that just s everything else up

Contract year for Diaw would prolly be enough to motivate him. I'd rather have Diaw 2.0 than current Gasol.

[dbestpro]

Seems to me there is no need to move Diaw if TD were retiring. Looks to me like he might stick around to give us a big three rotation.
