Spurs Sign Boris Diaw

[jiggy_55]

Any idea if he will suit up tonight? With Bonner and Splitter both having back spasms, and the upcoming horrendous schedule which will surely keep Duncan out a few times, we will need him immediately to shore up the frontline.

[VBM]

No..YOU and everyone is..RJ for Jax was basically a lateral move (both avg 10)

I'm all for being a pessimist, but your argument dies there

[Brazil]

Fortunately for TP Spurs signed Diaw... If he had signed to another team... we will get some nice thread about TP being useless

[Thomas82]

Nice.

Can't wear #32 (wore with Charlotte and Atlanta). Can't wear #13 (wore with Atlanta). Can't wear #3 (wore with Phoenix).

My guess, is he'll either wear #31 or #33.

Whoever just said for Jax was a lateral move needs to GTFO. If you had watched the two games Jax has already played in you would see the HUGE difference between the two players.

What are the realistic expectations for Diaw for the remainder?
Does anyone think TP can motivate this guy and keep in line?
Does anyone think this will be more than a 1/2 season rental?

I'd like to see Diaw play 18-22 minutes and average 8 ppg and around 3-4 assists.

Yes, I think Diaw is thrilled to have a chance to win a championship with his buddy. Who wouldn't?

It depends on how well he plays and how far we get through the playoffs. A first or second round exit and I don't think he stays. But if he works his ass off and we make a strong push for the crown, then I say yes!

I stopped reading your post right here.

No time for maroons...

[will_spurs]

Any idea of the kind of contract he signed? Length/money?

The Spurs have improved greatly this season: trade away RJ and Hill (mental midgets), grab Kawhi, SJax, Diaw and Mills... This team looks like a contender at last.

Jax, Patty Mills and Diaw and this place goes crazy.

You're either the biggest pessimist I have ever seen/read or a troll.

Extasy

I went there one time. Never again.

[jiggy_55]

He's signed on until remainder of season, as per @JMcDonald_SAEN

[Vic Petro]

Major props to the front office for making these improvements with limited resources. The Spurs are much better now than they were two weeks ago or at any point last season.

Unfortunately, I still don't see this as a le winning defense

[Ditty]

Mcdonald with the great analysis none of us knew

[Mel_13]

Can confirm Yahoo! report that Boris Diaw has reached agreement with Spurs for remainder of season.

Was anyone waiting for Jeff to vouch for Woj?

[will_spurs]

My guess, is he'll either wear #31 or #33.

I was going to bet on #13 (his jersey number on the national team) but it's retired, so I'm to go with #10, his other jersey number on the French team.

I will celebrate with an all-you-can-eat buffet

what HUGE difference? Jackson couldn't even find PT on the BUCKS? He's 33years old not 23 like in '03...Jefferson wasn't motivated to be on the Spurs anymore anyway and still managed to avg at least dbl digit pts..Jackson will avg the same and will hit the eventual 3 ball just like RJ did. There really is no progression with that trade..only a fool/fool's would think so. And like someone else said..Diaw got BOUGHT OUT by the BOBCATS.morons

[Chase_the_Bass]

you guys are all #sheep or all on crack..RC executive oty?? Stephen Jax, Patty Mills, Boris Diaw?? I mean really?...jesus christ our FO has made 1 decent move the past 5 years and that's drafting Leonard. U idiots crack me up..pray we don't get matched up with memphis again in the 1st..Zbo's back and Rudy is healthy. OKC and LA would rape us in the 2nd with our ty front court...and we'd go 7 games against Denver. DEFENSIVE presence down low is what we needed. poor saps

Yeah OKC really likes to pound the ball down low to Perkins and Ibaka

I can't tell if this is a troll or not. No one is that stupid... at least I would like to believe so.

[lefty]

Splitter is getting minutes ????

We got S-Jax back ????

A good free agent decided to sign with the Spurs ???????

[baseline bum]

Jax, Patty Mills and Diaw and this place goes crazy.

Going crazy is ing about how the Spurs don't run when they had great bigs and then a few years later ing about the Spurs bigs when they have a running team.

More likely he signed to play with Parker before olympics, but who cares

[dbestpro]

No..YOU and everyone is..RJ for Jax was basically a lateral move (both avg 10) , Mills will NEVER see the floor in the "playoffs" (TP,Manu,Neal), and Diaw is not the player he was in PHX years ago.. even if he was that's not what this team needed. ANOTHER shooting big man?? GTFOH..we're the same team as last year, regular season KINGS

Most knowledgeable Spur fans know that 90% of the game is place off the ball. Go watch some games and watch the play off the ball and then come back and tell us about the play of RJ vs Jax, and Diaw.

[polandprzem]

kinda good signing
