The San Antonio Spurs have a plan to keep mercurial forward Boris Diaw's weight issues in check.

As relayed by Amin Elhassan of ESPN (Insider only), Diaw has three weight-related clauses.

If Diaw weighs equal to or less than 254 pounds on Oct. 25, he gets a bonus of $150,000. He gets another $150,000 if he meets the same weight target around All-Star Weekend, and a third payout of $200,000 if he meets the target on Apr. 1.

Diaw has been dogged by occasional bouts of weight issues, most notably during his short stint in Charlotte (see photo below). According to the Spurs' team website, Diaw currently weighs 250 pounds.
