Pau Gasol has signed for the San Antonio Spurs and to clear cap space for his arrival, French international Boris Diaw has gone to the Utah Jazz in exchange for point guard Olivier Hanlan.
The 34-year-old forward learned of his fate whilst in Manila on international duty with France.
Spurs' fans, thanks for all your messages. Great years here and a ring! Leaving but San Antonio will always be a special place to me.
