Boris Diaw bought out

[KGs Knee]

Diaw is interesting.  He could be a good pickup to fill the backup PF spot.

Just checking his game log this season; he had a 16pt/16reb game against Miami, a 19pt/10reb game against NYK, and a 21pt/10reb game against Washington earlier this season.  He has also had 4 15pt+ games and 2 20pt+ games.  He's also had a good number of games with less than 5pts/5reb in over 25 minutes.

Bottom line is, he's inconsistent but capable; which is about in line with his performances from previous seasons.  He's only 6'8" though, so he's not really going to help us at C.  Good back-up PF though, who could fill in as a starting PF if Bass goes down.

Depending on how you classify KG (PF or C)our need could be for either a starting center or a starting PF.  Based on the available people out there, the PF options are a lot better than the C options.  So I say keep KG as our starting center, Steims as the back up and pick up someone to be the 3rd C.

For the PF rotation, Hickson or Diaw are much better players than any of the available centers so get one of them if you can.  Either could even be the starter with Bass going back to coming off the bench.  A front line of Diaw and KG is much better than KG and say Fesenko.  It would only hurt the team to try and move KG back to PF.

For the balance of KG's career, he is going to be much more valuable as a C.  Think of some of the 7-foot stiffs that have hung around the NBA.  It seems that PF demands a little more athleticism which KG has lost or will continue to lose. It is like when an older shortstop has to move to 3rd or 1st.  Get used to it KG, you are a center now.  Teams will pay for 24 minutes of serviceable center (think Perk).

Its a low risk high reward SIGN HIM!
Maybe Pietrus could convince his french friend  ?

Keep KG at Center, Keep his minutes low going into the playoffs. I like our chances against teams with him at C and Diaw and Turiaf off the bench thats actually a pretty good bench.

I dunno how much of a connection there would be other than language considering diaw is from France and pietrus is from Guadeloupe...
