If we renounce Splitter, we wouldn't have any reason to stay over the cap, would we?Quote:

It's a lot, but Splitter is probably worth that much to the spurs' title hopes. He's a big reason why the spurs made it out of the west this year.
Obviously, if you can pick up someone like Asik, you let splitter go. But only if you can get a defensive 7 footer. We aren't going to challenge for a damn title in 2014 with rookie Baynes or Dejuan fucking blair starting at center.
Hmm real tough, milsap the only realistic alternative correct?
Splitter's skillset fit this team so well although obviously he's got flaws and is pretty soft for a big man but the spurs would definitely miss him if they decide to go another direction
If you go with milsap, obviously toughness and rebounding and an improved mid range j is what he can offer to this team, he's undersized but I'd love to have him
Not really he only played a full series.Quote:

The Blazers still have enough under the cap to offer a competitive offer for Splitter, but they can no longer give a huge deal like they gave to Hibbert, at least in terms of starting salary. They'd have to relieve some salary to do so. If they really want Splitter, they'd probably agree to a sign-and-trade, as it would save them on money and potentially assets. Robinson could be part of such as deal, or if it's in the context of a larger Aldridge trade, the Spurs could get some of the haul Portland gets for LA.
As far as the offer, I don't know why people are upset. That's literally $507k more than he's already counting against the cap. It shouldn't affect the team's efforts to add other free players this season, and the team is going to be over the cap again next season anyway. So who cares? It's a fair deal.
Maybe we can do a S&T for LeBron and have him play the 4?
Sounds about right tbh
Splitter showed he has the capacity to improve his game. He definitely did a much better job from the FT line this year. He needs some strength and conditioning work as well as some fundamental work on rebounding and boxing out. If we can keep him, I think we should.
I thought he did a great job as did Bonner in the LA and Memphis series but he came up pitifully short in the Finals. It was embarrassing how weak he was. That just can't happen again. If we had better options, I'd say explore them, but I don't think we do.

No. Renouncing Splitter saves the team $2.5 Million in salary, but they'd lose the right to match ANY offer Splitter gets. They'd have to stay under the cap matching at that point. If the Spurs are over the cap, they can't match any offer that starts at more than his QO. They couldn't even sign-and-trade him effectively.Quote:

I swear if someone says Baynes...
Sign it. First, what's the alternative? Spurs fan acts like there are other reasonable options.
Second, Splitter is a quality starting 5 in the NBA. Spurs fan holds him to dominant expectations but wants to pay him the MLE.
Last, the Spurs are trying to keep the window open one more season. I could care less about 2015.
Well this would be assuming that we'd also get Bosh Wade and Allen as well, plus Miami's first rounders for the next 5 years. I think that's pretty fair tbhQuote:

Paul Milsap has been the only suggestion thus far.Quote:

SpursTalk at the end of 2012 West Finals: "Why didn't Splitter play more? If he had played more, Spurs win. Dumb Pop."
SpursTalk at the end of 2013 NBA Finals: "Splitter sucks. He's the reason the Spurs lost the title. Don't pay that guy his market value. Dumb Pop."
He's a 4, not sure how you can mistake that guy for a center... 3 rebounds per game, softer than Bargnani...Quote:
