Just watching the replay of tnt's postgame last night.

They were showing Oneal and Bosh together, and it made me think....

Oneal/Bosh
Shaq/Amare
Gasol/Bynum
Oden/Aldridge
Yao/Scola or Laundry

Oberto,Bonner,Thomas,Ian/Duncan---this is just embarrassing. I really want to believe but we need another credible big, or it will be a long season. Splitter may have done it....

This has been an issue since Nazr and Rasho left. Sad to say but I would have rather not have traded Rasho away.

Yo, I feel your pain.

Spurs got unlucky that he was a late first rounder so they were limited on the money they could have paid him. If he was a 2nd rounder, he'd probably be a Spur. The NBA will probably change this rule somehow due to overseas competition.

Rasho looks awfully good right now. At least his defense and rotations were excellent, and clearing out a driving lanes for our guards.

Hahah.

Splitter's contract has a buyout clause so he could join the Spurs next year.

Unfortunately, the outlook is not good. They can still only pay him $1 million (1st round pick pay scale) next year while Tau's probably willing to pay $3-5 million.

In addition, the max the Spurs can pay for his buyout is $500,000 or so, if the contract buyout is higher, the Spurs can't get him.

This much I recall, if some other Spur fans know better, feel free to correct me.

danight; that really, really sucks.
i think (from what i've seen of splitter), that we would definitely be title favorites/contenders with a GREAT big man like him.
i mean, he is not amare, but if he could play superb defense, and then give us 10ppg; whew, watch out NBA!

maybe the spurs can somehow convince him to play...for the love of the game.

Agreed, there wouldn't be so many Trade Parker/Manu/Duncan/YoMomma threads around here if Splitter were here. He'd solve lots of problems, and yes, I've seen him play, he's a baller.

well that's why i want him.
not cause i care about that trades; because no matter how much fans cry and whine here, they are not going to get anyone traded.

but we'd be dang good.

Yup, Spurs would have been bad-ass with a Splitter/Duncan combo, he's got size, athleticism, scoring and great defense. He really improved his post game in the last year. He'd be a top tier NBA Center.

Hahah, just messin' with you. Yah, I loved Lord of the Rings, can't forget those quotes.

I would have rather have kept Rasho's 8 million a year( which expires this year) than use that money on Bonner/ Butler/ Elson/ Oberto.

Who knows if we kept Rasho maybe Scola would be wearing silver and black right now. Seeing how we used some of Rasho's money for Jackie Butler.

I didn't intend this to be a splitter thread, just there are some pretty incredible 4/5 combos out there this year. Reminds of the David/Tim years.

That was a fire sale move by the memphis owner, whoses trying to sell the team. Bad example.

bThat was a fire sale move by the memphis owner, whoses trying to sell the team. Bad example.

ok how about we add to the list: maybe 2ndtier:

Brown/sheed
okur/boozer or kirenkle]
nene/martin (could have fiisr tier wi cambay)
dirk/dampier??

Anyway Timmys is better than all ov these(no menntion of howard) but doesn't have that 5 (or 4) to to compete with these linesl We are going to get killed on the inside defensively and strugglee offeively... Hopefrully Tony an Manu can over come, or we are lottery bound.

I think he has an option after each year to come to the NBA if he wishes - definately after the second season - im not sure about the first.

Rasho >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bonner

Of course, but in todays game its almost imossible to play Rasho and Tim together, one of them has to guard a quicker 4 which makes it tough. Still probly better than seeing Bonner attempt to play defense.

If we kept Rasho, then there would probly be no Kurt Thomas, Bonner would still be around.

I guess Rasho>Thomas though, at least he blocks shots.

i hope you're right about the first part and he decides to come over next year.

Welcome back. Where ya been?

casual observer of the best spurs forum. Anyway I thought I'd make the the point because it seems so remarkable that we suck so bad at the 4/5 (excluding Tim of course).

BTW, mrspurs, is it mr spurs or mrs spurs which means you are you female... If so please provide pic as proof of gender....again only if female...
