I wouldn't say that Splitter is the Brazillian David Robinson -- that would be Anderson Varejao. :)

But I would say that Splitter is good and will have a better NBA career than, say, Luis Scola. Hands down.

Dyess, if we're curt with you it's because time is a factor. We think fast, we talk fast, and we need you to act fast if you want to keep Spurstalk from going into a meltdown. So pretty please, with sugar on top, sign with the fuckin' Spurs.

I'm pretty sure this is what did the trick! :downspin:

I strongly feel that he will be our other starting bigman next year.

I think people will be very pleasantly surprised when Dice thrives in our system while Sheed shows everyone just how much he has declined... although I'm willing to accept that Sheed might be rejuvinated early in the season by his move to Boston, we'll see the truth of it in January and beyond.

I was all over this one from the start, in fact going back to the start of the off-season... and if you want to give me shit for pointing that out, try aiming some at just about everyone else around here because we all like to remind people when we get it right. :D

Now all I need is Bass to Orlando and Varejao to stay with the Cavs and I'll have picked where all the premier FA big men landed too! I should bet on this stuff. :lol

I've been worried much of the afternoon that they were going to use their MLE to try to sign Dice since they got their injury exception from the league in record time. As you know, they love stealing players from the Spurs.

Get this guy a ring.

Thank God this worked out and we got him.

He's thirty-six, and he just works his ass off every night! Please get one for Dice...
