Man the sooner the spurs put Splitter in a Spurs uniform the better.
It's no longer of IF the spurs are gonna bring him, but when?
That little piece of info that bruno posted a while back gives us hope that the spurs
will be able to bring him over by the summer of 2010.

in 2010 Spliter can get out of is contract in Spain and also the Spurs can give him more than rookie salary, so the Spurs can bring him in 2010 but also can trade his rights this year cause his rights have good value.

This is a good point - his rights suddenly have a lot more value, since we know he can be brought over in 2010 under the CBA for more than his rookie salary. If they do get traded though, I fear we'll have another Scola situation on our hands. Better to be patient.

Scola like production.

He's that talented IMO, but his advantage is he would have the Drew Gooden role as the go to low post guy for the second unit, and I would LOVE to see what he and Manu could do on pick and rolls.

Not much of a jump shooter from what I recall but his back to the basket game isn't bad.

Hes young though and IMO given the enviroment he can develop into a damn good player.

I just hope the reports as i stated above are true and the Spurs will pursue it.

Then is fine, for a moment there I thought some guys were expecting a future all-star or something like that.

IMO Splitter won't be much of an offensive threat in the NBA 'cause like you said he doesn't have a reliable jumper and his post game isn't a big deal (again IMO), but I do agree that we need him and he'd inmidietly become the second best bigman in our team (I never saw Mahinmi play).

Rarely does one get a chance to undo a mistake.

The Spurs mesed up when they assumed that Splitter was coming in '08 and, therefore, jettisoned the troublesome Scola in '07.

From there, the dominos fell (including Mahinmi's nondevelopment).

Go back in time Spurs and fix this. Get Splitter now!

Good chance in 2010. No chance in 2009. Even if Tau went out of business, Splitter would be crazy to accept a rookie scale contract this year when he can wait for next year and negotiate a much larger deal.

I thought he played very well in the Euro Finals last year. And even if this year was down, he's still All-Euro Second Team. I think he'll be a good complimentary player in the frontcourt, not quite as good as Scola, but good enough to help.

Sit on a beach for a year. The most the Spurs can pay him this year is the rookie scale. That means he's locked in for 4 yrs and a TOTAL of about 5M. In the summer of 2010 he can negotiate a contract up the MLE or the Spurs cap space, whichever is greater.

He actually said he would come this year (2008-09) and there are reports from Brazil indicating he plans to come in 2010.

I really can't hold any grudge against the guy, he had a sister that was dying and had the chance to make 4-5 times as much money.

There's no reason to believe he wasn't sincere when he came to San Antonio after the 2007 draft and said he looked forward to playing here in 2008. Circumstances changed.

05-03-2009, 06:15 PM
I haven't done the math yet but wouldn't it be easier to get Splitter in 2010 if the Spurs went the trade route this year instead of the 2010 Plan? Because even if you sign a big free agent in 2010, it'd be difficult to then pay considerable money to Splitter when there is a whole roster to fill out.

If you trade for a player this year then I assume the math works out to where the Spurs can use at least part of their MLE next season to get Splitter.

Mel_13

My memory of his 2007 visit to SA didn't include any mention of an agreement, but I looked it up to be sure. Both sides were obviously looking forward to a mutual future but there was no agreement.

Let me ask you a question. Based on your understanding of "agreement", if Splitter had torn an ACL in the 07-08 season in Spain, would the Spurs have been obligated to sign him and pay him for at least two years while he attempted to rehab?

Anyway.

I think you're right. He really can't really expect to get more than the MLE, so if the Spurs preserve cap space and acquire a big ticket FA, they may not be able to offer much more than rookie scale. If they go the trade route, and perhaps extend Manu, they could be just over the cap and have the full MLE and LLE to use while staying under the tax.

I think thats expecting a bit much. Scola came in more skilled, and aged 27 after a decade of playing at Europes highest level, and 'only' managed 10-6 in his rookie season. The thing with Scola, he went from being a back to the basket 'Tim Duncan' type big in Europe, to a scrappy, hustle role player with some skill in the NBA - simply because he didnt have the size, length or athleticism to utilize alot of his best skills against the defenders in the NBA.

Tiago has a great post game already, and hes 7 feet with good athleticism and great agility for a guy that size. He already has developed foot work, but it might take him a while to learn to finish over bigger, more athletic defenders, but once he develops a jumper he could solve part of that problem.

Something around 20-25 Mins, 8-10 Pts, 5-6 Rbs and a Block, would be a great start.

If he does that, he probably gets all-star consideration at center and the Spurs score multiple trips to the finals before Duncan hangs it up.

Since you are the defender of all things Popovich, you know goddamn good and well that Pop would have told Splitter to stay and take the money for his own good. Pop puts players above winning, so there's no reason he'd expect Splitter to have given up that much cash on so much as a verbal commitment, of which there is no evidence.

The best you can hope is that since Tau is losing so much money that he'll come back to the NBA so he at least knows his paycheck won't bounce.

What about the question was at a third grade level? You assert that Splitter was obligated to sign with the Spurs based on some mutual agreement. You have called him a liar for doing so. My question for you stands:

If there was a mutual agreement as you assert, and Splitter tore an ACL during the 07-08 season in Spain, would the Spurs have been obligated to sign him in the summer of 2008 and pay him for at least two seasons while he attempted to rehab?

And while it is certainly is not your duty in life to respond, it would have required considerably fewer keystrokes than the words you posted. It is, after all, a yes or no question.

And you seem to be someone who expects the courtesy of a response to a question as your repeated efforts in this thread would indicate:

KBP is largely responsible for riling people up against Euroball on this site. I'd find his knowledge far more compelling if he wasn't an insufferable jackass. And the coincidence between his former trolling of clutchfans and Comcast IP in Houston is enough evidence for me.

TPark, you have to answer the question: Since you've manufactured this fictional "agreement" which has a bond like iron, would you have expected the Spurs to pay Splitter if he had been physically unable to play for the Spurs? What if another team had made some amazing offer for Splitter?

Besides, you know damn good and well I was right before. If there had been some kind of handshake agreement, which is probably against the rules and therefore wasn't done, Pop wouldn't have held Splitter to it if it meant he had to give up such a huge amount of money.

I don't know if KBP is in Greece or Houston, but from what I read of his posts he knows his Eurobasket, so my advice to guys in here is: don't pay attention to the unnecessary insults and listen to the rest.

+1 KBP seems to get attacked just so some get a reaction out of him. As a lurker, I find the complete overuse of trolls way more annoying. It's funny every once in a while, but every now and then there will be a thread with 10+ replies and everyone of them is a troll account. The sarcastic *>Robinson/Jordan/Jesus/etc posts are probably a close # 2, though. Seriously? That shit was old & tired 5 years ago... how cool do you think that makes you look today?

I don't think I ever read anywhere that he said he was coming for sure.

I have heard him saying that he HOPES to come. But I never heard Splitter ever say, "I promise I'm signing with the Spurs when my contract with Tau ends." At most, he could say that he was going to talk to the Spurs when his contract ended ... which he did.
Sorry but Splitter never "promised" he was coming to the NBA this summer. He might have said he planned on it, hoped to, wanted to, or whatever. But he didn't ever promise anything.

Things change all the time. He has family concerns. He's guaranteed playing time there. Lots more money. House/cars paid for. He's comfortable there. He knows what to expect for the coaches/organization/environment. There was a lot working against the Spurs. And I'm not sure they went there and tried to sell him either ... the Spurs don't beg people to play for them and maybe that's what it would take to convince him he was wanted/needed. If I was Splitter, I probably wouldn't come either.

As for the actual topic of this thread, I think Tiago Splitter will be in a Spurs uniform in 2010. No sooner, no later. (If not in 2010, then likely never at all.)

That's what I think.

Love to see this guy in a Spurs uniform - that he will be able to score in the NBA is a given (if Scola can, surely he can), the questions are what kind of NBA rebounder he'll be, and whether he'll be able to learn our defensive system. If he can become a decent NBA rebounder, and a good help defender, the future is bright... as long as we can get him over here.

Yeah, that's directly from the Splitter post-draft press conference. The Spurs thought they could bring him over with no problems.

Frankly, I wonder if the issue of his being a first round pick had been identified as a potential stumbling block at that point. If the Spurs hadn't been so financially hamstrung, Splitter would almost certainly have been brought to the team.

Yeah, not so much.

Marc Gasol might actually be a better NBA-level player.

Look, Tiago is a much needed piece and a very solid rotation big to have in your lineup, but I've seen nothing to indicate him being a star.

I've never really thought about who he reminds me of but if you ask me for a comparison, right off the top of my head?

I guess I'd say, he'd be somewhat like Pachulia.

Probably a little more talented, but not quite as gritty.

The thing we have to acknowledge is that Splitter wouldn't be a star but would be the best big outside of Duncan in the post Robinson era. He can be a difference maker on both ends of the floor. He is the type of guy we can put in for 30/25 mins when we face teams like the Lakers when they go big.

For once, I actually agree with you. I mean, I don't follow basketball in Europe that much, but I really don't think he's that great of a player. He would probably start for the Spurs, but wouldn't make any star-like impact. He's still not an amazing rebounder, and the Spurs need much better rebounding. If we get him, cool, but I wouldn't be ready to jump off of a cliff if we don't get him.

Bourousis and Pejkovic are better than him.

Lorbek is debatable but he's more a PF so I give you that. Vazquez close to him but not as good probably. Andersen is better than him but he is really a PF also. Vujcic is debatable but Splitter has better D than him so I can give him that. Reyes is better than Splitter also. Not sure how to count him though he's under size center. Batiste plays center but is a power forward pure and simple so I would not consider him.

Pekovic
Bourousis
Reyes

Splitter is not offensively skilled like Gasol and he doesn't rebound as well as Gasol.
Splitter will not be much of a go to guy in the NBA (i.e. his post game won't produce consistent offense, at least not what I have seen, but then again not many big men in the NBA have post games nowadays). A better comparison would be Scola, but we'll see if Splitter can have the same success Scola has had so far.

"Next year" is 09-10.

AFAIK, Splitter hasn't a NBA buyout clause in his contract this summer. He can't leave Tau without the consent of the team.
You can imagine a scenario where Splitter wants to play in NBA as soon as 09-10 and Tau isn't that sad to let him go (and to receive $500K in return).

I don't want to create false hope among Spurs fans: this scenario is quite unlikely. On the ACB's forum, there is poster claiming that some king of inside source told him that Splitter could go in the NBA but it isn't enough to be optimistic/excited.

He got blocks when he could but could intimidate shots inside without getting into foul trouble. Duncan did that a lot back then, too. It's obviously a skill that takes some work; Dwight Howard can't do it.

Tiago Splitter, Trade Asset

The Draft is almost upon us. There have been several reports that the Spurs are looking to trade into the first round, with one rumor having them interested in Washington’s 5th pick. But, honestly, we heard similar things last year. The cold reality of limited assets and the tough business of locating agreeable trade partners quiets most of the rumor-mongering.

This year’s trade speculation rests against the backdrop of needed change, with almost all those who follow the Spurs calling for or expecting overhaul this offseason. Don Harris recently quoted Spurs color analyst and family member Sean Elliott saying, “…I would fully expect us to have a revamped team next season.” His expectation seems universal.

A few of our readers have asked, given the team’s limited assets, whether Tiago Splitter’s rights could help a trade proposal go through. If Splitter is not tied to the rookie scale, as we’ve previously argued, one would think his rights would hold some value, certainly more than we assumed a year ago.

Tiago Splitter projects as an NBA starter, or at least a quality rotation big. He’s only 24 years old, but has the professional experience of a seasoned vet. And in this topsy-turvy economy, one wonders if his buyout situation is not actually attractive to teams. Put differently, if you’re a team that is not enamored with adding a rookie to your 2009-10 payroll, acquiring the rights to a talented big who requires zero immediate payment (and won’t until at least next summer) is something of a win-win. You avoid the cap hit, but still get to add a valuable player to your pipeline. Looking at the bigs available in this draft, Splitter would probably rank with Jordan Hill and DeJuan Blair, not far behind Hasheem Thabeet. Some might rank him ahead of the other three.

If this is the case, why would the Spurs want to give him up? If he came to the team next season, he’s a lock for a productive 25 mpg.

The simple answer is that he provides an asset the team currently lacks. He’s the young prospect that could put a cap relief package over the top. And again, that’s with the added luxury of staying off the books until at least 2010.

The Spurs recent dalliance with Yiannis Bouroussis is an indicator that shoring up their front line is an immediate priority, one that Tim Duncan cannot afford for them to sit on for another year. I expect the team to target another big with their MLE (Charlie Villanueva?). Then there is the possibility of Ian Mahinmi bouncing back from injury and contributing to the rotation. And most of us expect that if Chris Bosh is available next summer, the Spurs will use their cap space to make a run at him, however unlikely the odds. Add all that up. Where does Tiago Splitter fit into the puzzle?

But that’s on the optimistic view. The pessimist is happy to respond by saying the Spurs could strike out in free agency, Mahinmi could flop, and the team could completely miss their 2010 free agent target. If some combination of those things were to occur, Splitter is a mighty nice insurance policy.

Obviously, he’s the sort of asset one doesn’t just give away. There is no question he benefits the team a year from now. The question, however, is could he benefit the team 4 days from now? And if so, to what degree and how?

So to our readers who’ve asked what value Splitter’s rights hold, my answer is a curiosity struck “dunno.” I’d like to think he could command a pick somewhere between 10 and 20, but I also see the world through shades of silver and black.

What I meant was Splitter will bang on the defensive end but is fairly soft on the offensive end. He does not have post moves like Gasol at all. His skill set is similar to what Rasho brought to the Spurs. Tiago can be a role player and that is all.

The hook shots are the only similarity Splitter has with Rasho. Otherwise they're completely different players - for one Rasho has a superior jump shot, Splitter almost never shoots outside the paint. Splitter is also way more mobile and he uses it to his advantage.

Does Splitter have any type of mid-range shot? I am wondering if Tiago is able to make the short jumper if required. If he can't make the short jumper, teams will sag off of him and crowd the paint.

With the way RC talked in the post-RJ trade video, could he possibly have been referring to Splitter when he talked about bringing over some of the overseas guys? The RJ trade would make even more sense if the Spurs found out that Splitter was ready to cross the pond.

If you can't get McDyess, going with Splitter, Mahinmi and a random vet big (Rasho-type player) might actually be enough.

Actually, with Splitter likely waiting until next year and our immediate frontcourt need, I thought of Javtokas. Even if Spurs paid more than they'd like to, he'd still be cheaper than a lot of big man options currently available. Not certain if those bridges are thoroughly burned though.

I wasn't even sure if this was a possibility but I have been starting to wonder.

FWIW, some guy called into STSA claiming he'd been told by someone that Tiago was indeed coming over and that it would be made known in the next 7-10 days, but I have a hard time nor questioning the guy's legitimacy. (Although, it sure seems like just about the time I believe there's no shot of something happening for the Spurs, something usually happens.)

If the scenario you suggest were to play out, I'm not sure you could ask for much better.(Rasheed's my preference but Dyess would be more than adequate:tu)

I'd personally like to see him get a shot. He really impressed me going up against the Redeem Team and his game actually seemed more suitable for the NBA.

It would be nice, but I think the more likely candidate is Gist. After learning about the loophole that would allow Splitter to bypass the rookie wage scale next summer (and thus allow him to sign for enough to afford the buyout), I doubt he comes over now unless Tau has some financial issues.

Tau is in full rebuilding mode.
They have lost their starting, PG, SG and SF (Prigioni, Rakocevic and Pete Mickael). Teletovic (their best big aside Splitter) is also rumored to be on his way out.
They are building a team for the future with young players. If Splitter is set to leave the team in 2010, it makes few sense for Tau to keep him and his big salary in 09-10.

I'm a little looking at Tau forums and Spanish articles about Splitter since the end of his season. I have seen almost nothing hinting that he will leave or that he will stay. I've only read a rumor of him going to the NBA on the ACB forum ( link (http://foros.acb.com/viewtopic.php?t=303776&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=48630) ).

You are so stupid it boggles the mind. What in Bruno's post is untrue?

Whether a player is replaced or asks to leave, he's still gone.

If it's a foregone conclusion that Splitter is going to be in the NBA sooner or later, why bother paying him to stay if they're going young and rebuilding the team? Besides, if he's as overrated as you continue to say, why would they bother keeping him around while they're amassing all this talent?

Whatever offer the Spurs might make, they need to make it a timebomb. Chicago started doing this the early part of this decade, when everyone was using them as an offer bitch. Essentially, you give the player and his agent a SET period of time to accept or reject your offer. It doesn't have to be a short period. It can be a week if you want, but you PUBLICIZE the time period so that a team like Tau isn't pressured to match or exceed. If Splitter wants to be here he accepts, but he absolutely CANNOT use it as leverage, as Tau knows that the offer expires, and they can wait for it to do so. It forces a decision by all parties.

you are the one who was wrong again. as usual.
that the club was able to find a new sponsor, is another story and is great for the club.
none claimed it's impossible, just that it will be hard in an economic situation like today.

little dummy.
what we were expecting was that Tau will struggle to go on with sponsor big money to the Basketball Club, as a consequence of the housing crisis in Spain which of course hits a producer of tiles and sanitary equipment directly.

And they got the Caja Laboral bank to sponsor the club which offered even more years of sponsoring than MAPFRE. President of the club said the budget will now be higher for the next 4 years.

So once again Mountainballer and Bruno LIED, I told the truth. END OF STORY.

Since Spurs can (at least I read elsewhere on a thread) pay Splitter more than the rookie pay scale next year, seems to me we find a way to get him here, yes? Expiring contracts of Finley/Bonner/Mason then become nice assets to retain.

Even if we let Finley, Bonner and Mason's contracts expire, I don't think we'll be under the cap next year. I think that would mean we'd have to use some part of the MLE on Splitter (my understanding is you get a new MLE to use every year, even though we've signed McDyess to an MLE contract for the next 3 years). I want to know if we have Mason's 'bird rights' or whatever, since he'll have been with the team for two years. Does that mean we can go over the cap to sign him? I hope we can keep him if it doesn't cost too much; I think he'll do really well this year given his return to SG and the players surrounding him.

The Spurs will have "early" Bird rights on Mason, so they can go over the cap to re-sign him to any amount up to the midlevel without using the actual MLE.

TAU Ceramica becomes Caja Laboral

Sponsorship deal between Baskonia and TAU Ceramica was terminated upon mutual agreement by both parties and the club announced a new sponsor. Caja Laboral become the main sponsor and the team will be renamed accordingly.


The new deal is for four years which should guarantee stability for the club in the nearest future. Representatives of Caja Laboral declared their plans to keep the club strong both in Spain and in Europe.

Bruno and Mountainballer yet again = liars.

Bruno and Mountainballer exposed as liars AGAIN. Yet again their lies are proven and what i said all along was correct.
