Diaw

[T C]

Spurs need to move him. I think he'd be great. Sure we need a wing but we also need another big.

 

[Andrew]

I hate the guy but his skill set would be a great asset. When he gets into an offensive rhythm, hard to stop him.

I am a HUGE Diaw fan and I would LOVE adding him to this team. He's a GREAT role player, a great fit, and a great fit against the Warriors.

 

[Cavatt]

We need another 3/4 and his playmaking would be great on this team

 

[wremy]

What's his contract like?

What's his contract like?

7 million this year and a team option for 7.5 next year.

 

[Andrew]

Imagine him off the bench against the Warriors with his shot on automatic.

 

[The Oi]

Would be a great fit if his fat ass doesn't tilt the bench.

I take the over on 300 pounds at start of training camp once Diaw is traded from the Spurs.

If the cavs find these trades
Player A for Haywood TPE
Player B for Miller TPE
Player C for Joe Harris TPE

They would have to figure out what needs to be added to those trades to get it done. Maybe it's players rights and cash or the heavy protected 2nd rounder and cash or some other asset. It would also have to be players on non-guaranteed or partially guaranteed contacts.

They can turn those 3 players into Diaw if they all add up to 5.6 million or more. This might be worth while because the Miller and Haywood TPEs expire at the end of the month. The Varejao TPE can be used for something else down the line since it expires in February.

Good thing all bench players at this level get their own chairs.

Good thing all bench players at this level get their own chairs.

Thanks for pulling my joke's chair out from underneath it.

As a fellow French guy, I would say this about Diaw: Make sure he wants to play for you if you trade for him. Everywhere he went, he either played great cuz he was having fun, Phoenix with Nash (International atmosphere in that team as well...they could talk abt soccer together at least) and San Antonio with his best friend Tony + Pop to keep him on track and motivated; or he played like a$$ cuz he didn't want to be there and you end up with an overweight cryptic player. "Babac" was raised with a very "do whatever you want to do" education and you can feel it when he is not happy.
To be fair and to highlight that I love this guy, he was and is always motivated when playing for his country!

 

[Cavsfan1985]

If all of this Wade stiff is just a bluff to get more from Miami, I think he could be a great fit for the TPE. He can play the 3/4. Would pair well with LJ, because he could guard the 4 on defense, then allow LJ to play the 4 on offense if needed.
