whoop whoop

[Darkwaters]

Nice. At this point I just want him on board.

[Man Mountain]

Splitter is scheduled to have a physical exam this morning. If he gets medical clearance, the Spurs will await word from his Spanish team, Caja Laboral, that the buyout of his contract in Spain has been accomplished.

Barring complications, Splitter could be introduced as the newest Spur this afternoon.

Worth full MLE and will get it.

I think he will get 5 million a year

[TheSpursFNRule]

If not I will spend the rest of my life dedicating 40 percent of my pay checks toward basketball cards. I will also eat a sloppy joe sandwich for every meal of the during the entire NBA off season.

Kind Regards,

After he signs then you have to pray he stays healthy through the world championships.

[ElNono]

I've set my expectations to 4 points and 1 board, so I know I'll be greatly impressed...

true but spurs always even for the rookies sign them to as little as possible

the ones they draft in the first round

[rayray2k8]

Wonder when this shit is gonna go down? Another question is what about RJ? Haven't heard anything from him since friday.

[angelbelow]

hoping by the game tomorrow splitter will be signed

[rayray2k8]

Oh that's right, who's watching the summer league game at 4:30??

I decided I'd rather save the money than get the pass this year.

Why the hell didn't they do this for Scola??
Sorry but shit still pisses me off.

[Muser]

If they announce it today then that'd be sweet, sign splitter and get to see some possible young guys for the squad later.

[Tito_Trinidad]

I don't believe 'till i see him on court in Game 1 wearing black & silver.

[ChuckD]

After he signs then you have to pray he stays healthy through the world championships.

This doesn't seem to be as much an issue with the players actually playing in Europe, since their season is so short, like 30-40 games. It only becomes a factor at 80-100 games for NBA players.

Splitter in Brazilian website Folha.com: “Between 0 and 10 the chance for me to get the contract done on Monday is 9. I don’t want to talk about the contract details because I still have to pass the physical”

According to this article, he doesn't have a return ticket to Spain... :D

[tuncaboylu]

It's Monday...

[EricB]

Take away Duncan, Bonner, Manu, McDyess and Tony and the Spurs are all under 27.

The Spurs under 27 team next year looks like it will be:

Hill, Splitter, Blair, Anderson, Richards, Hairston, Gee, Temple, Jerralls. No franchise players in there, but that's a very solid young core that can grow pretty well.


Don;t you know its pointless and worthless to go to Spurs games this year because they signed Matt Bonner?

Come on..

[EricB]

DonHarris4WOAI Spurs will introduce splitter at 3pm.

[AFBlue]

DonHarris4WOAI Spurs will introduce splitter at 3pm.

Awesome news...guess that means he passed the physical and only really has to put pen to paper.

Any idea when we'll know details of the contract?

[MannyIsGod]

BTW I disagree with what you've been saying about there not being any reason to pay him less than the full MLE. While you're right in saying that we won't go out and sign anyone with any portion left under the MLE I do think that they need to stay as far under the luxury tax as possible.

There are a lot of young players on this team as you just pointed out and the difference between carrying one or two of them maybe whether or not we are approaching LT territory. This is also why I hope to god the Bonner contract is not as bad as advertised and that RJ signs for a low amount as well.

[lurker23]

DonHarris4WOAI Spurs will introduce splitter at 3pm.

10 minutes later......

Splitter alert: #spurs have scheduled a 3 p.m. presser.

[Muser]

What time EST will that be, and will it be streamed live on spurs.com?

[ElNono]

Thats 4pm EST.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Don;t you know its pointless and worthless to go to Spurs games this year because they signed Matt Bonner?

Come on..

Don't you know? We're definitely going to win a title with Bonner's clutch shooting, solid defense, and stellar rebounding out on the court at 4 million per year next year...

Come on...

[jag]

10 minutes later......

Breaking news!

[rayray2k8]

Good stuff from the FAKEPOP twitter account. :lol


FakeCoachPop

If Richard Jefferson asks me 1 more time if he can conduct the Tiago Splitter physical, he'll never play for me again.


FakeCoachPop

Tiago's physical delayed. Not sure how I'll break the news to Jefferson. He's been working on the "Turn your head" move all week.

[rayray2k8]

Why the hell didn't they do this for Scola??
Sorry but shit still pisses me off.

His buyout was retarded.. Ask a rocket fan, he'll fill in on the details, but I believe that teams could only pay a certain amount and Scola ended up paying a big chunk of his own money to play in the NBA.
Yao helped him with a shoe deal to help him get some change back, that's about all I know about that.

[rayray2k8]

Would be nice if SDC came in here and posted a link to the live press conference with Tiago, but I'm guessing we'll have to wait at least 3 to 4 hours for the video.
Oh well, there's still the summer league game. :lol
