Spurs trade Boris Diaw to Utah
The San Antonio Spurs have traded forward/center Boris Diaw to the Utah Jazz in exchange for the rights to point guard Olivier Hanlan.
What It Means:
Trading Diaw was an anticipated move by San Antonio, as it opened up enough cap space to enable them to sign Pau Gasol. Conversely, Utah was down a big after Trevor Booker inked a deal with the Brooklyn Nets. Diaw will be behind Trey Lyles in the rotation and shouldn't make much of a fantasy imprint.
Diaw started just four games last year (76 total games), but his per 36 minute averages were solid (12.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists) and his .582 true shooting percentage was above his .549 career mark.
