When I read the news that the Charlotte Bobcats had bought out the contract of Boris Diaw I couldn’t help but think that it was about darn time. All season long we’ve been reading about a guy that plays hard when he wants to; he slacks off; he’s talented; he can’t focus. Aargh! It was [...]

Next crappy big man to consider: Boris Diaw

So Charlotte bought out Bo Diaw, and like every other rejected big man, the Celtics are going to  have to consider him.

Boris Diaw Leads Flawed Field of Big Man Options for Celtics

Somewhere along the way, the Celtics' search for a backup big man got mislabeled. What should have been affectionately known as "The Search for a Warm Body Taller Than 6-Foot-6" came to be known as "The Quest for Frontcourt Help."

Boris Diaw receives buyout, Boston Celtics might be interested

Via Celtics Town  |  March 21, 2012
  I remember my first introduction to Mr. Diaw, back when the Atlanta Hawks had no idea how to use the 6-foot-8 youngster with plenty of skill but no outline of a position. He stunk in those days, a gangly youth, but even then, a startling basketball IQ existed underneath his long, awkward-looking frame. Two seasons after Diaw was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks with the 21st pick...
