There is "nothing new" in terms of Boris Diaw receiving a contract buyout from the Bobcats, according to beat writer Rick Bonnell. Diaw would have to be waived by Friday to be eligible for another team's postseason roster, but there have been no indications that the two sides are working toward that scenario. That could certainly change,but there is nothing new on that front at this time. Mar. 20 - 9:53 am et Source: Charlotte Observer
here is the link posted 7 hours ago. Hope they buy him out would be a great addition.

With all the aminosity between the Bobtails and Diaw, it would not surprise me if they deliberately held onto him past the deadline, just to screw him over.
Could be. However they'd have to pay him in full for nothing. Not sure it's really worth losing $1-2 million out of spite.
It's not like there are any Ronnie Turiaf threads already open.
Thanks for the update...for reals...
well its only tuesday...
Signing an NBA contract even a vet min one isn't exactly like signing up to buy a used car you want to have the contract read over by your agent and attorney on both sides and see about various other things included in the contract.
Is there any gap between the buyout deadline and the playoff roster deadline, or are they the same?
If so, Charlotte could "have it's cake" by buying out Diaw one minute before the deadline.
Latest News: Nothing to report
The player must be placed on waivers by the Friday deadline. He can be signed at any time after clearing waivers and still be eligible for the playoffs.
One other thing. Charlotte doesn't play until Friday night, so there won't be much news from the local press. Hopefully Tony is getting the inside info.
In the french media, they're saying that Boris's agent and Charlotte can't find an agreement on the buyout.
The Bobcats FO knows that the Olympics are a big goal for Boris and that he can't afford to stay inactive for months.
Maybe they're just trying to lose as less money as they can in the buyout.
There probably won't be any news before friday...

Jordan probably wants him to forfeit his remaining salary. Greedy bas . Diaw probably wants it all. Diaw would likely budge more than Jordan. Jordan is stubborn
This is the one time that SA may have an advantage over other free agent destinations.
The Spurs could be the official pre-season workout base for the French national team.
Now, if they get Turiaf . . .
I disagree. Diaw has the upper hand. There are two things that Charlotte doesn't want: Diaw on their roster and Diaw getting fully paid. If Boris waits it out, calling their bluff, he will probably get a pretty standard buyout of about 50%.
Diaw is certainly my first pick but we might need to make a move on somebody. There is no guarentee that he is released. I wouldn't want to see Hickson and Turiaf get away if Diaw is not bought out. I am getting nervous.

“@clocollins: According to BB's tweet, I think Boris Diaw has been bought out of his contract?” I'm thinking the same thing @BobcatsMartin

The last good dinner with @theborisdiaw and @BlackMaamba12
This could be it...
Hopefully this is it. Jordan needs to quit assing around and get this done.
Come on
C'mon sons
Please let this be a good sign.
DP. Sorry. I'm dumb.
I'm amazed at how many of you are concerned about this, as if there's any reason for it not to happen and any way he doesn't choose the Spurs. The Bobcats are notoriously cheap and this holdup is nothing more than a negotiating tactic, so that he takes less to go away. But as cheap as they are, they can't be so stupid and ignorant that they'd make their already terrible reputation worse over something so minor. It's going to happen and when it does, he's going to be a Spur.
