No Tiago No Title, I guarantee it.
Did GSW have a center? How about Cleveland? Who was their defensive stopper?

kind of, but think how teams are playing and winning now. There really isn't a dominant center that carries a team. Its all perimeter players, and hustle. It would be different, possibly, during the Shaq, Hakeem era, but now who is dominant in the post?
Basketball is the ultimate - take the best available player, its not football where you have to have certain skill sets to be effective at a certain position.
Bruh we just won a title a year ago with splitter manning the middle for most of our run. They're are teams where he is essential.

Bogut and mosgov are two top 20 nba centers. What we saw on the finals was a game of mutual destruction. You play your best players for a given matchup. Bogut was less effective than small ball.
There's a huge difference between playing small as a changeup and playing it as your bread and butter

Top 20 nba centers in a shitty center decade? Andrew Bogut was 91 PER(14) in playoffs this year and Mosgov was 44 (17.9) out of 208 players.
The only team built around a Big worth anything is MEM in my opinion. Think?

A deal is already in place for Splitter. LA is coming to SA. His contract may surprise you. Same with Kawhi on contract. Like I have said before Pop and RC can get creative with these two and make room for Danny Green.

Oh my god green going there instead of splitter
I would think CLE would want Boris over Tiago, with Mosgov and Verajao.
Btw is Boris only partially guaranteed next year?

Verajao is always injured, they need a solid backup C.

and Splitter is not?
Verajao is always injured, they need a solid backup C.
That's a lot of cash for 3 centers, by my count over 22m. Not to mention they have to resign Thompson who plays like a C even though he's only 6'9".
Boris' diversity for the position makes more sense in my mind. Also, he's as good a back up plan as they're going to get if Love leaves.

Can't really happen. CLE can't participate in a S&T due to the apron. With bringing Love and Lebron back, they won't be able to do a S&T

At least Splitter health isn't compromised by something that either knocks him out for the season or tries to kill him for multiple seasons.

Splitter and Mills for Mozgov? I think that would work pretty well short- and long-term.

Do not see Cavs moving Mosgov after the Finals.

Eh. Splitter for Moz maybe, but if Spurs trade Patty, they are in a worse situation then they are in now. Literally no SG who can create his own shot. And we all saw what happened with no perimeter scoring.
We still need a slasher to make effective, in addition to a low post presence.

Yep, unless its a homerun like LMA, then no way they do after his Finals performance.

No? Why the lies?
Kind of disappointing to see Splitter go on a strict salary dump. He's certainly better than that. You'd think we could at least get a pick out of it.

There not, his name was not even mentioned at all.. I heard someone for Haywoods expiring and that only, then someone brings another trade up :lol

I'm talking about the actual asset. Haywood's deal is implied.

Parker isnt getting traded nor would those contracts come close yo matching up, better throw more in there for those two than Haywood.

Since his name is not mentioned at all what is the point??? I want so and so from a team so let me go post their name as if it will happen, the thing is it is not even rumored in the talks and they are not trading him for Splitter.

Splitter wasn't in the tweet either. Neither were the picks that would undoubtedly trade hands. The tweet said the Spurs and Cavs were talking about Haywood's contract. Haywood and Mozgov for Splitter and Mills fits that tweet as well as Diaw and Mills for Haywood and a first would.
We're getting LaMarcus Aldridge out of it.
Yes and no. It makes it possible to get Aldridge, but you would think you could get more than a salary dump. That's a great deal for Cavs.

Haywoods name was in the Tweet so that was the focus as far as getting his contract and then dumping it for LA right? They were talking about Haywoods contract indeed, so that is what I was addressing there and someone on another board mentioned Splitter so that is not legit either and I don't know why I threw his name in other than he is on the block. How does Mosgov fit that tweet? His name is not even mentioned like I asked or was it? I agree on the rest.

I bet it was just some bullshit rumor some blogger made up in their head or some source "HEARD" and it gets thrown out there. I will just wait and see now, all this shit is irrelevant until something actually happens.

Hey Chinook What did I tell you?
I lol'd at your attempt at portraying yourself as having inside knowledge.
A deal is already in place for Splitter.
Not remotely ground-breaking, as a few of us though so during the draft. Good call, I guess, but no one except haters thought the Spurs would have any trouble moving Splitter. If anything, it's shocking how little they seem to have gotten for him.
LA is coming to SA.
Predictable, but congrats for the conviction, I guess. If you had inside info, that's really cool. But I'm not inclined to believe it.
His contract may surprise you.
It didn't.
Same with Kawhi on contract.
It REALLY didn't.
Like I have said before Pop and RC can get creative with these two and make room for Danny Green.
This is what really made me lol. There wasn't any creativity in the structure of Kawhi and especially LMA to allowed them to keep Green. Unless you're talking about Kawhi not getting extended. But that happened back in October, so it's not remotely breaking news.

Da fuq? Ima bout to turn into Lamarcus Aldridge. Chinook and I (and others ) have been painting a picture like this for so long. I even called that LMA would announce his signing today when almost all other reports said otherwise and this gets a :tu?
I'm so walking in FA..
So did we get a 2nd round pick or what?

Well, no duh. But in a summer where Robin Lopez and other centers are getting huge deals Splitter should have been an asset worth compensation in a trade especially at his salary

If they got a guy for compensation meaning more salary against the cap then how do they sign Green and then LA, not to mention Kawhi?
This was purely a salary dump to sign, not to get a valuable piece in return to count against the cap. They just cleared to sign LA and that is what they got in return.

Yeah, they couldn't take back any salary, but maybe could have traded him for a higher draft pick this season, or possibly a draft pick for next year. I hope the Spurs got something out of it other than a straight salary dump.

A first round draft pick would have been compensation I was referring to. He should be worth at least a late first rounder considering Mozgov went for two first rounders
