Please trade Boris Diaw


Eazy-E

Recommended Posts

I blame Boris Diaw for the loss to the Lakers. 23min 0 Pnts, 4 Reb, 5 Ast, That's not even good enough for bench play. Yes he has had some good games but they have been once in a blue moon. I want him gone but I don't see him even having trade value because of his inconsistent play. Plus 9mill for his salary doesn't help either. Anyone know of any trade possibilities?

Overpaid YES.... Bad player NO.... Starter NO.... Trade him HELL NO....

Diaw isnt playing up to his potential but there is no way I am trading a player that can stretch the floor and play 3 different postions. There are only a few players that can do that so I would rather have him on my team.

Diaw's performance was a hot mess last night, but I don't blame the loss on him. Please remember he went in there last year and put up 23 points on them. No Wallace, turnovers and bad shot selection and we still managed to only lose by 2 pts, not bad. Personally I think Jackson attempts too many 3's.

It's never one guy, plenty of blame to go around last night.

I think LB went with DJ too long and should have put Raymond in when Farmer started going off on DJ. That when the game started too slip away from us. DJ can't defend anybody right now and is a lability when he on the court and not making his shot. We might need too look and trade him because Acie Law can produce equal and play better defence then DJ. If we could get a trade for a Carlos B or Ronnie Turiaf or Andre Blatcyh and bring Diaw off the bench that would be a good spot for this team too be in.

I'd trade him for a 2nd round draft pick and give the spot to Derrick Brown. Brown can shoot the three and he can affect shots down low. He's also a more athletic player who will help in the fast break.

Whatever though. When Lopez rapes Diaw again and we lose our second game to the Nets, I'm sure he'll be gone within the month.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
