The Utah Jazz have acquired Bois Diaw in a trade with San Antonio, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski
The Jazz will send Olivier Hanlan, the No. 42 pick in the 2015 NBA draft to San Antonio. The trade would open up salary cap space for the Spurs to sign Pau Gasol and give Utah a veteran big man.
Diaw is a 34-year-old forward/center who has played 15 years in the NBA the last five for the Spurs, winning one NBA title. He averaged 6.4 points over 76 games (four starts) while shooting 53 percent from the field (36 from 3) during the 2015-16 season.

I like this. Fat Boris is one of my favorite players.
Interesting. So his contract for this coming year is $6.5 mill, plus another $0.5 mill if he hits his weight incentives.

The Jazz needed some veteran depth, so they went out and got it. Had they done this last year, they likely make the playoffs easily. Hill, Johnson and Diaw can all help the Jazz this season without handicapping he team financially in the future. Next offseason, the Jazz need to deal with Hayward and Gobert. . . but they also have the ability to create another max salary slot if they want to chase a free agent to pair with the current team. Winning makes everything look better. DL has proven that he's willing to be aggressive, and Utah is clearly a team on the rise. With the new GSW super-power, the Jazz need to transform themselves into a top 5 team in order to have a shot at landing a top target. Getting to (and showing up) in the playoffs will go a long way towards that goal. The Jazz will be better immediately, without sacrificing financial flexibility - and they still have future assets to make moves to shore things up even tighter next year.

Seems like a reasonable gamble. And suppose these are interchangeable spots where other vets might come if Utah makes some noise.

We've picked up Hill, Johnson and Diaw all without giving up really anything. Perfect off season by the front office.
