I think that is the most positive news we heard thus far on the Splitter front.

[nbaman99]

Is this means he is coming?

[Ginobilly]

I'm crossing my fingers and praying tonight, that hopefully Master Splitter comes to the Spurs next season. It's now or never for the silver and black and Splitter. The big three only have a 2 year window of elite play.

Does sound encouraging. Why not play on a team missing that one major piece to get back to the finals? A chance at getting a ring in your first 2 years, doesn't hurt. How often does that line up for a player?
If the Spurs get a decent draft pick and get back to dominant D from the start of the season, they will be fine.

If Splitter really wants to know how good he is, then he should jump to the NBA next season.
I would love to see him try and box out Blair. :lol

The only problem would be that Splitter would have to play for us with one arm only.

He's got a solid 6 inches on Blair, so I think he'd manage.

This had better not be an unfounded rumor, followed by an echo chamber.

I don't want to get all excited about him coming over, and then come to find out the Spurs traded him to the Houston Rockets. I don't need another huge let down like that. :depressed
