Did you know it was Diaw's fault he stunk in Atlanta?

They all say Diaw couldn't produce in Hawk's system. Well, obviously that system wasn't THAT good to begin with. Hardly anybody can produce in that system. Is it Diaw's fault that he couldn't produce? Who produced well in that system last season? Wasn't Hawks one of the worst teams?

It is coach and coaching staff fault not realizing how to maximize the player's potential and "throwing" him into a deal.

To think a team with Diaw, Jason Terry, and Stephen Jackson could be so bad...

I think Diaw really craves the structure that disciplined teams like the Suns and Spurs provide. It goes beyond having good teammates or being able to play his game--in Atlanta, he had no idea what he was 'supposed to do', so he was indecisive on the court and never got anything going.

The other thing is, this is Diaw's third year in the league. A lot of players struggle in their first couple of years, then turn it on in the third year (Joe Johnson and Barbosa were two).
