Boris Diaw Traded To Jazz (news, not just proposed trade)

[silesian]

Also, if I remember correctly, in Bell's case we bought him out at the end of his contract (for almost 100% of what was left). We asked him to go home, root on his sofa and collect the checks.

If memory serves, he was not bought out, but the rest is correct.

I remember when Diaw was playing for Charolotte there was a rumor of a Boris for AK47 trade. Here's a great article about Andrei:

That was the best article probably ever written about AK, and dead on.

We just need Rudy and Boris to exchange recipes. And portion sizes.

Did Diaw ever play the 5 spot for the Spurs?

Acording to basketballreference.com, he spent very little time at the 5 with them - around 3% of it overall. More than 90% of his playing time was at the 4.

This trade was just officially announced and it is even a little better than we thought.

Jazz sent out Olivier Hanlan

Jazz received Boris Diaw, 2022 2nd round pick and cash considerations.

DL stacking the deck in the 2020s...

DL is the man. Plain and simple.

But it is the spurs, in 6 years that pick will probably be 58-60.

Nice gamble though.

Yeah. Diaw, cash AND a pick. That's a great haul for a guy many were projecting the Jazz to acquire at some point anyways.

True, but the Jazz now have 2 2nd round picks in 2021 and 2022. By itself it's not much. But in accumulation...

Not to mention a 2nd round pick just got us Diaw, cash and another 2nd rounder.

So Hanlan got us more in trade than Trey Burke did. Poor Trey lol

I'm glad we got the second rounder. I was hoping we would. It's pretty much a standard practice in a salary dump trade like this.
