Not concerned about the weight. Rudy will have him playing with fire. But the espresso machine probably kills the deal. Millers can't have a heathen influence on their team.

The Spurs were so concerned about his weight that they pay him $500,000 per year to keep it below 254 pounds.
 
I think when people were talking about a shooting big we kept thinking of the Meyers Leonards or other guys that need 15+ minutes a night. We are giving 25 minutes a night to Lyles this year and Rudy and Favs will play the other 30+ minutes available at the PF/C spot. I think we also go small at times... whoever we get is going to play 10-15 minutes on SOME nights depending on matchups. I think we just need some variance... some nights Withey will be the fourth big other nights player X will be that person.

Diaw gives us some variance and while the weight is an issue he might teach our guys a few of his old man moves... He would be the best passing big man we've had in a while. I would think he'll be motivated next year as he is essentially on an expiring deal.

A little bird told me that both Hanlan and Brock Motum may figure in the Jazz regular season plans. Then played on the same team in Europe and they won their league. If true this would mean some trades or waiver wire stuff. Motum would make sense as it would let Trey be the main backup big. The Hanlan thing baffles me.
 
Told yall it would happen
 
Jazz sent the rights to Olivier Hanlan for Diaw.

It's on twitter but I cannot link to that from here.
 
hanlan for Diaw... I can only assume Diaw plays pg for our summer league team this year.
 
WOw 34 yr old Diaw who always battles a growing belly. with 35 yr old Joe johnson ....whooppee ,yeah,praise the lord ,Jazz make big statement
 
This does feel like a meh trade I probably wouldn't have made, but you know, what are you gonna do. Doesn't hurt or help that much. Hanlan was never gonna play for us, but watch him become good in SA now.

Gobert/Diaw/Withey

It adds the potential for depth at C. DL working on injury proofing the roster.

His weight control is worrying.
 
So why no picks for the Jazz, we give up nothing but Harlan but we are helping out the Spurs so they can sign Gasol. Shouldn't the Jazz get something in return?
