I wouldn't say never. Maybe not this season, but possibly 2010.

He would not be enough...He and Haislip have the same stats in the Spain championship.

If he does decide to come over (highly improbable), when could we expect to hear about it? Is there some sort of time constraint to sign him?

The thing I take from that was that no one except the Spur's top brass knows what they are up to. That would include some hack up in Boston. He may know what the Celts are up to, but there is no way he knows if the Spurs are making an offer to Davis.

I can't envision having 2 undersized 4's(Blair & Davis?) playing significant minutes for the Spurs, so the Big Baby rumors seem kinda lame IMO.

agreed

Whenever Tiago Splitter comes over, his nickname should be Jimbo.

Even if we get Splitter this summer, the dude hasn't played a single minute in the NBA yet. No way that makes up for not landing Sheed.

agreed that we would be better served with a vet to abet splitter but that vet did not need to be wallace. mcdyess would be better in some ways.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Still, one would imagine that Pop would have plenty of non-Splitter reasons for being on the Continent.

But, yes, the Spurs' interest in free agents who look more like backup bigmen does make you wonder.

Splitter is more a player like Rasho than Paul Gasol

He appears to play more aggressively than Rasho. Splitter also looks to have more offensive moves around the basket than Rasho.

He gets rookie scale if we sign him this year, correct?

Yes.

a quick question on buyout rules - no more than 500K US right? and then it's up to the player to shoulder the rest of his buyout? What if Pop went over to Spain, then just happened to spot a car he wants to have, which coincidentally happens to be Tiago's pimped-out ride, and offers to buy the car for, let's say, the rest of the buyout money?

would that work?

I'd cream.

Never.

never is a strong word... maybe unlikely sounds more hopeful.

All I'm going to say is if Splitter turns into another Scola case, I'm gonna be pissed. :pctoss

Oh snap!!!!!!!!!!!!
