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)

      Former RB Mike Davis on Rhule and CMC

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      I agree Tepper completely bumbled everything after purchasing the Panthers. Kept Rivera and Hurney too long, including letting Hurney last into Matt Rhule’s tenure instead of hiring a GM to hire the head coach, and then hiring Matt Rhule and giving him way too much power, then keeping him into year 3. For all the reputation Tepper has as having too quick of a trigger finger with coaches/GMs, it is entirely unwarranted. 2 out of 3 head coaches and GMs he kept too long. That being said, it would have all probably ended up fine if Matt Rhule had not been a complete egotistical idiot who felt the need to piss all over everything about the franchise to mark his territory. All he had to do was keep Cam on the last year of his contract, listen to 1st round draft genius Marty Hurney and go up and get Justin Herbert, and not trade for reclamation project QBs every year. And now hearing poo like this, how about not run your star RB in goal line drills his first practice back from injury. I wish Matt Rhule nothing but the worst in his coaching career because it was his hubris and arrogance that led to all of this.

      53 Man Roster

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Chris Paul Jr should be high on the list. He might be able to start by mid-season (time to pick up the defense). He's already better at beating/shedding blocks than any other ILB on the roster.  So tired of watching guys run into OGs and play push with them. Beat the friggin block so you can make a friggin tackle!------- Please!

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Sir, the Panthers are not going to have a winning season this year. They're too young/inexperienced at the skill positions. I'd say 2026 is the season for winning expectations. This year is for development.
