I've never heard of Sportando, so take it for what it's worth. Tony Parker: 'Spurs are very interested in Boris Diaw' The French PG said that he would love to have Diaw in San Antonio Boris Diaw, via Radio Monte Carlo said that he would love to have Boris Diaw in San Antonio. Diaw is on his way to leave Charlotte Bobcats and New York is interested in him as well. 'He is in great shape. I am the first to make fun of him when he gains weight, but this is not the case. We are very interested in him, but New York is interested as well' said Parker.

I'd rather sign a legit backup point guard, even though diaw did fill in for an injured Nash decently

Parker lobbying through foreign media ; not typical spurs front office behavior. Don't see it happening

the article says "Spurs interested", but the article says "Parker wants him in SA". by Spurs, they mean Tony. they asked him if he'd want Diaw there. Diaw's talented and versatile, of course he's gonna say yes. i don't think he's trying to pull anything behind the scenes with Pop (unless Pop is having him lobby for Diaw, which is entirely possible because Pop himself has gone to meet with players). we were interested in Maggette, we were interested in other guys. i would say it wouldn't be happening if Parker said we're trying to get him, as opposed to we're interested in him.

Since Diaw is under contract could it be considered tampering if Pop (or any of the Spurs FO) were to actually say they were interested in Diaw?

spurs are intereted tony is interested fans may be interested but the player himself prob aint. NYC baby. linsanity. big apple. bright lights. diversity. french restaurants. melo. stat. coach that likes to play ball, everyone gets to run around and do what they do... no rules. just right. sign him up! hehe. diaw would be perfect. someone off the bench that can play C, PF, SF. heres the problem. even if we get diaw, whats the chance that pop lets him play? he'll get what, 5 minutes a game? even if he's looking realy good/promising? so if im diaw, do i wanna go start/play minutes in NYC, or go sit on the bench while watching JOKERSON play 30 minutes/game getting 1 point, 1 rebound, 369 turnovers, posterized 4 times, standing around aimlessly, etc.... while he just has to watch on the bench w/ tiago. |

I don't see what exactly Diaw Brings that we're in dire need of. If he were the same player from 5 or 6 years ago, I would understand, but even if they guy is in shape... he's not as versatile as he used to be. I don't see him doing anything Blair or Bonner doesn't already give this team. I still think our priority (realistically) is a point guard.

the problem is the team's he's been in after the 2005-2006 season. once Amare he came, he didn't have the same role he flourished in. he then got traded and kept going in the wrong direction (in regards to the teams he's been on compared to the type of team he had with the Suns). he'd be way better defensively than Blair. the only thing Blair's been giving us is his inside scoring which Diaw can do. Boris can pass better and run the floor better. he can't replace what Bonner gives us, but he certainly can match what Blair gives us (rebounds will be counted as null because, as with the Wizards game as an example, the guy puts up lazy shots and gets rebounds from his easy misses or gets the rebounds from his blocked shots which inflate his stats).

I still don't see where he's going to fit and who gets squeezed out of minutes. Also I don't see what exactly he provides that we need... I think Blair may still be a better option. Blair, Splitter, Bonner, or Leonard...who has to take the dive for a somewhat talented role player?

The lure of NY is he'd be back with his old coach and Stoudemire.

Diaw did not get moved. So a buyout is coming. And Mike D is gone from NY. So stay tuned............

I'm guessing that a buy out would be about 1/3 of his annual salary since 2/3's of the season is over which if I recall means he's owed about $3 mil. Then I would imagine the Bobcats would chip in some as they are saving at least some portion of $3 mil.

I am hoping to be wrong. I would welcome Diaw to the Spurs.
