Diaw picks up option, will be back with Cats next year

Boris Diaw officially picked up the $9 million player option on his contract for next season.

We reported back in April that he planned to do this all along, so this move simply makes it official. It's a no-brainer for Diaw, as there is no way he'd be able to garner that much money on the open market as a free agent. He'll continue to be an attractive fantasy asset because of his ability to contribute across the board, but his inconsistency severely detracts from his value.

If they dont bring him back then the Bobcats have to fork over 9 million dollars. That will not happen, so he is all but guaranteed to be back next year.

What are you talking about? It was a player option he will be back, unless he is traded. Nothing we can do about it. Yes he is owed 9 million dollars, but when you trade players you have to match salaries, so it doesn't matter.

Yeah, if they trade him, but for the time being he is back on the team. But the Bobcats probably won't trade him because his contract will be expiring next year, and everyone know's the Cats love gathering up their expiring contracts.

Yeah a trade is the only way he won't be on the team. Diaw is a very attractive piece because of that expiring so it might be a great opportunity to trade him. Either way Thomas needs more playing time.

Yes he might be on the team next year, but your reasoning is wrong. You act like we are going to release him. He is picking up a player option, we have no control over that. But now he has picked him that option and under contract we can now trade him. That's all we are saying. The money thing is a non issue.

Well they technically could release him, I know it won't happen; but they could.

I hope he's not a starter. I think he'd be a better player for us if we brought him in off the bench as a 6th man, to fill in for the 3 and 4 when we need him. I'd much rather have TT at PF and Jax as a SF starting. Hendo obviously taking over at SG.

I'm working off a hunch here, but I think he's gonna be traded draft night, most likely to Toronto.

BTW, they have a 9m trade exception that matches up perfectly to trade Diaw to them for nothing in return, and I expect that we would swap picks with them (5 for 9). That would be an EPIC WIN.

i'm starting to think he will get traded draft night as well...might even be packaged with one of our picks or maybe even another player(jackson)

      No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad

      I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle.

      Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
