    Adrian Wojnarowski ‏ @WojYahooNBA Boris Diaw, Spurs reach deal

    Y! Sources: Free agent Boris Diaw reaches agreement on deal with the San Antonio Spurs

    Free agent Boris Diaw has reached agreement on a deal with the San Antonio Spurs, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

    Diaw agreed to a buyout with the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday, and cleared waivers Friday afternoon. The Spurs will sign Diaw for the remainder of the season.

    The deadline for signing free agents to be eligible for the playoffs is Friday.

    Diaw, 29, is a versatile, passing forward who fell out of favor with Bobcats coach Paul Silas this season. For his nine-year career, Diaw has averaged 9.4 points, and remained one of the league’s better passing forwards. Despite starting 28 games for Charlotte, Silas was frustrated with Diaw’s unwillingness to be more aggressive in scoring. Diaw’s fitness issues have dogged him throughout his career, but he’s still shown an ability to be a productive offensive player.

    San Antonio is 30-14, trailing Oklahoma City by 3½ games for top seed in the Western Conference. The Spurs have bolstered themselves with forward Stephen Jackson and point guard Patty Mills for the stretch run of the season.

    This move makes them really deep and scary, specially if pop can make diaw give some effort.

    He will be motivated with San Antonio which wasn't the case in Charlotte obviously.

    He can contribute straight away. And he gives an old team some injury insurance.

    Getting Diaw might also make Parker work harder.

    Overweight or not. Spurs bench get another deeper by adding another veteran.
