If the Spurs have any interest this summer, in former Mavs center, Desagana Diop, (and I damn sure hope they will), they'll likely encounter some compe ion from the Nets, who are seemingly angling toward retaining his services. He also sounds off on his former team, too.

February 27, 2008 -- Devin Harris, who may make his Nets' debut tomorrow after his first full practice with the team today, was the key acquisition in the trade of Jason KiddJason Kidd . But the guy who originally was seen by many as little more than an expiring contract, DeSagana Diop, also could be a real keeper.
"I think he's going to help us," team president Rod Thorn said of Diop. "He's got a defensive presence, he's athletic, blocks shots, gets rebounds. I think he's a good player. He is someone we will look to re-sign. We like what we see."
Though New Jersey already feels like "home", Diop made one prediction for Dallas.
"They are going to miss me," the 7-foot Diop said. "They got a Hall of Fame star, a point guard. But defensively I really think they're going to miss me.
"You hope they [Nets] want you. At the same time, I know what I can do. I know as long as I stay healthy, I'm going to be around, if not here somewhere else," said Diop, born in Senegal and the No. 8 overall pick by Cleveland in 2001. "But I do look at New Jersey like a home. The coaching staff, everybody, Rod, they're saying they looking at the future so I've got to keep working and then see how it's going to be in the summer."

I agree. Diop's defense was real key for us but at least we got Magloire.
yes the defensive player of the year Gana Diop was the key to all of our success....enjoy playing in that dump the "IZOD Center"
Magloire was given every opportunity by the nets to beat out Jason Collins and he couldnt do it. That's not a good sign for those hoping he'll replace Diop's defense.
Both Jason Kidd and Allen said that Magloire still has it. He just didn't fit in because the Nets used the Princeton offense and Magloire is a low post player.
i find that hard to believe....ill go with more with Lawerence Franks incompetence. I hope no one is dumb enough to say Collins is better than Magloire. im not saying magloire is good or great but no one in this league is more of a spare than the Collins twins
I would miss him more if he had more than 1 good game a week and could have managed to get more than 15 minutes a game.
They are going to miss me defensively-- is sounding off on the Mavs?
Magloire = Nigerian Nightmare
He's from Canada. His ancestors come from Trinidad.
Weak.
The insinuation was that mavsfan1000 was praising jamal so much that apparently he equates to the next hakeem.
I wonder where Fazekas will end up. He hasn't quite adjusted to the NBA three point line and is still physically weak, but he can play basketball.
Oh. I didn't know that was one of his nicknames. My lack of that knowledge is quite sad.

To help in the short term, the Clippers will probably sign 6-foot-11 forward Nick Fazekas to a 10-day contract.
Yeah saying he is less than Diop is considered praising.
First there was Russell...
Then came his only begotten Son....
WTF do we do now?
I believe he's actually from Senegal
I think he was talking about Magloire.
I was talking about Magloire. Now I feel like bringing a fifth center into the thread so it looks like I knew what I was doing all along.
Chump was talking about Magloire.
Diop is right but no one is going to care for his D in NJ
My bad.
Magloire's agent made overtures to the Raptors about him rejoining the team. Isn't it interesting that the Raptors passed on him?
Diop's been tearing it up in NJ since the trade. I think he had 3 boards and 5 fouls last night. ing. Hard. Core.
yep and no points in 27+ minutes of action since the trade...this guy is a beast
