    Per Woj, San Antonio is looking to unload Diaw.

    I doubt they would trade him in division, but obviously he would be a perfect fit here.

    So, apparently if you give a bunch of trash/past their prime players with a couple 1st round picks, you can get a superstar entering their prime? Genius

    Diaw is awesome. He'll be a solid pickup if he can stay in shape.

    Beasley is better at this stage of their careers.

    Don't know if you'd want to miss a chance to get Diaw if DMo winds up with a huge offer later.

    We are going to recreate the retread Suns 2nd team. Yay! We're supposed to get excited about a 34 yr old Diaw?

    If you could get Diaw while executing the other cap clearing moves you mentioned in the Random Trade thread, why not? What happens if DMo does get a really huge offer in the next few days?

    I don't see a point in getting Diaw. He's 34, he's a PF, and he doesn't really bring anything that others on the roster wouldn't bring. I know he has a history with D'Antoni, but what other reason is there to go after him?

    A skilled big man that can pass, play in post, guard the perimeter and shoot a jumper would be nice. Rockets dont have one of those

    Why not develop the next Boris Diaw, pick up recently waived Damien Inglis, 6-8 240, instead. Cheaper and high reward/low risk.

    I would give Spurs the rights to Diebler for Diaw.

    Also, during the year, if Indiana starts to fall off (possibly) I would offer Ariza, Brewer, Dekker, a 1st, and a 2nd for Paul George. They may just bite
