Most importantly, (Boris) Diaw’s deal features $500,000 in annual performance bonuses in the form of a weight clause. Each season, he gets:

• $150,000 for weighing less than or equal to 254 pounds on Oct. 25

• $150,000 for weighing less than or equal to 254 pounds on the first Tuesday after the All-Star Game

• $200,000 for weighing less than or equal to 254 pounds on April 1

Basically, the Spurs have given Diaw a real incentive to make weight at three important junctures of the season: opening night, post-All-Star stretch and playoff push.
