WOW stop the presses!!! this is gonna be a big one a big DeSagana Diop t3rd of a trade, the bobcats just got pantsd by the suns in that trade i guess they havent had enough yet

The problem w/ Dallas is when a player is signed to a long term deal for their past good performance then when signed the player then relaxes and does not care about the team anymore. This involves all Dallas franchise including the Cowboys. Money does the opposite for these players. They should work harder but instead they feel like they don't owe anything to the team and the city. Put JHo, Stack, Diop, Damp, Terrel Owens, Roy Williamsx2, Romo, etc. in those categories. I'm sure there are other athletes out there that does that.

At least these Dallas trade rumours can't last quite as long as those Sundin rumours that haunted this site.

"the player then relaxes and does not care about the team anymore."

not sure if I buy that explanation....guam
To be honest- he just simply isn't that good. He's a body, a role player..these are the tyoes of players you don't sign to long term deals- you go year to year (or 2) with them

DeSangana Diop better thank his parents for his DNA because if he wasn't tall he would have been out of the NBA a long time ago. Since the Cavs took him at the 8th spot back in the 2001 Draft, all this dude has done is steal paychecks.

You know what's funny? The only owner who really seems to covet Diop is Mark Cuban. He was reluctant to trade him last season. Then scooped him up right away as a free agent. Now he's on the move again. Look for Cuban to do everything in his power to get him back again next summer.

Exactly! I don't think he'd be a starter in the D-League.

Sorry for the Double post. The site didn't show the 1st one.

Im suprised the Mavs aren't dangling two more #1 picks in a trade for an overpaid vet, the guy that needs to go is Howard, talk about stealing a paycheck.

He gets $6.7 mil a season for four seasons I think I read somewhere. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY! He's used as a defender for about 8-10 minutes a game, sits on the bench the rest.

Wow! Two threads involving Desagna Diop. Slow news week?

Seriously. Diop would get owned in the NBA by Candace Parker.

Jeromes James on the Knicks gets over $6 mil/season...at least Diop plays...

Why would Charlotte want Diop. He and Okafor are clones - no nonsense defense - zero offense. Unless they plan on trading Okafor they are making a Memphis trade.
