Suppose the Spurs aren't completely convinced Splitter's worth the MLE for 5 years. Is El Baskonia pre-season tour against the on Oct. 14th Grizzlies followed by the Spurs on the 16th, a test to see if he's worth such a guaranteed contract?

Yes, we all know Tiago can make more money in Europe (as can second rate american basketball players and euro's who are NBA role players) but, we also know he BADLY wants to play in the NBA.
Scola or Millicic?
