The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they signed forward Boris Diaw. Per club policy details of the contract were not released. The 6-8, 235-pound Diaw started the season with the Charlotte Bobcats before being placed on waivers on March 21. In 37 games with the Bobcats, Diaw averaged 7.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 27.5 minutes. He scored in double figures in 11 games, including a season-high 27 points at New York on Jan. 4. Diaw came with two assists of his seventh career triple-double posting 16 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists vs. Miami on Dec. 28. NBA.com

For clarification, Boris Diaw won't become a free agent until he clears waivers, which won't be until Friday. A team can pick him up between now and then, and assume the remaining amount of his contract. That's unlikely to happen, though. Once he clears waivers, the #Celtics would be among the teams interested. But as has been reported elsewhere, it looks like he'll sign with the #Spurs upon clearing waivers. Sulia

Diaw agreed to a buyout with the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday, and needs to go unclaimed by NBA teams to become a free agent. The deadline for signing free agents to be eligible for the playoffs is Friday, which is when Diaw is expected to pass through waivers. The Spurs are still waiting on work visa issues to sign Australian point guard Patty Mills to a contract. Yahoo! Sports

Power forward Boris Diaw and the Charlotte Bobcats have agreed on a buyout of his remaining contract that should be completed in time for Diaw to be eligible for another team’s playoff roster. Bobcats vice president of basketball operations Rod Higgins confirmed that early Wednesday morning to the Observer. The buyout, which should be completed sometime today, would make Diaw a free agent in time to sign with a contender. Meanwhile the Bobcats open one of 15 roster spots and save some of what’s left of Diaw’s $9 million salary. It’s not known just how much money Diaw agreed to give up for his freedom.

Diaw played only twice in his last eight games with the Bobcats and has had a strained relationship with coach Paul Silas, who was quite critical of his effort. Silas described his frustration with Diaw on March 7 before a home loss to the Utah Jazz. “I like a player who is really committed to not only the team but to himself and then doing the best he can as a player,’’ Silas said. “Some of the things that would go on, like not shooting the ball, passing all of the time’’ were unacceptable. “I needed hoops and he could put the ball in the hoop. When that wouldn’t happen it was very disturbing. I think if he had played all out, the way he should have, it would have been a much, much better club.” Charlotte Observer

The Spurs obviously are interested for a couple of reasons. Diaw would provide some quality front-court depth as he could fill in at several positions. Also, he is one of Tony Parker’s closest friends after their experiences together on the French national team. Parker is expected will lobby his team hard to add Diaw to the team.

Word is the Bobcats want Diaw gone yesterday, and are involved in buyout talks to rid themselves of his deal. Diaw has not handled the losing in Charlotte well, and his temperament for what’s happening around the team has him on the outs with just about everyone. Diaw’s camp had inquired about a buyout before the trade deadline so it’s clear that Boris is willing to give up a little bit of money to get out of Charlotte, so expect that to drop in the next few days.

The New Jersey Nets are setting into a motion a plan to sign Howard, re-sign Deron Williams and keep restricted free agent Brook Lopez on an approximate $10 million annual salary, sources said. The Nets are working on several ways to shed several more million dollars of future payroll that will give them the flexibility to re-sign Lopez. The Nets and Charlotte Bobcats have had extensive talks on a deal that would send Boris Diaw’s expiring contract to New Jersey for several players and a first-round pick, sources said. The Nets could clear about $6.5 million in cap room with the trade. Yahoo! Sports
