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)

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
