Spanish players have more high image of NBA than players from east Europe. How many ways these issues need be explain here? Many different cultures in Europe but US people just try lump them all as same.:rolleyes
Different mind set totally.

So which part of east Europe is Splitter from? And where in Spain is Javtokas from?

So many people here now in ignore.
You believe that I am stupid and cannot see how much you make fun of me because of being Greek and way of talking. Disgusting and very pathetic.
Anyway Lithuanian player Spurs should try is Siskauskas.

Spurs need a center. Doesn't Pana have a very good Center who played in the last Olympics?

No. Maybe you think of Papadopoulos? He is Greek center of national team at last Olympics. He retire from national team couple weeks ago. He used to play for PAO before when they wins Euroleague in 2002.
He play for Real Madrid last year. He is available now to any team that will accept his ask price. 2.2 million euros net salary. This is more than MLE. I guess maybe in his case he would accept just MLE if it was NBA team.
Because he is head of players union in Greece and he is try many things to gain power and it not happen. He was in true story kicked off national team because he demand that players should get benefits. If he was to join NBA he would have more power in federation because he could say he is only Greek NBA player.
I guess Spurs would know him and if they would have any interest because he play last year in same league as Splitter.

Yeah Papadopoulos is who I was thinking of. How old is he and does he still have the skills to play? He was a very big center that got lots of easy layups off pick and rolls and backdoor cuts last time the USA and Greece met in the Olympics.

Just amazes me how we get screwed by free agents in this country over money and get screwed by international picks wanting more money by playing in Europe. Seems to be all about the money wherever you go?
-
Re: Since we cant get anything from free agency, should we bring over Robertas Javtok
isn't the reason this guy is even walking because of the spurs and the money they invested into his health after his motorcycle accident. Does this guy not have any sense of gratitude towards what the spurs did for him and maybe he should throw them a bone and sign on the cheap?? I don't know if he'd work or not, but the spurs obviously at one point thought he was worthy enough to draft so thats gotta count for something..

I won't take a page from your book and speak for others, but I think you are stupid because you are such a bigot. You only lump people together when it suits you, and then you feign indignation when you feel threatened.
BTW, my making fun of your broken Amerikan isn't subtle, so you aren't terribly clever for noticing it.
And your stupidity and narrow-mindedness is FAR too entertaining; you'll be the last dumbass on my ignore list. :lol

Bad blood on both sides potentially.
Moving on.
True, but if he pans out, that does give the Spurs a trade piece. He would still have to be willing to play for less than he would make in Russia - and I don't see that happening.

How is it illegal and awful? We get a young athletic wing and get rid of a old man who got his ass beat by everyone....we sign a athletic C in Javtokas who could at least give us what Thomas did without the assistance of a wheel chair. Or we could take the Mle and go after Krystic from Jersey who would fit well ...and who the spurs tried to trade up to draft a couple years ago.

In case you didn't know, the Spurs wouldn't have been able to hold their own against Amare and Shaq without Kurt.

Yes, but that shouldn't come at sacrificing Thomas. He's too valuable to us.

You're absolutely right! I know that most of the posters on this site work for less than they could get elsewhere just because they like the company or their co-workers.
we're all altruists here.
