See, no dream ever dies on spurstalk, it just gets recycled

Well, Austin Daye got waived... so maybe the Spurs pick him up from the waiver line.

Most ridiculously insane return. Is this Georgios Printezis at 30 years old even ready to suit up for the NBA?

Spurs didn't a that great return for Splitter but it really really doesn't matter given the circumstances. Spurs got fucking Aldridge and West thanks to that trade!

Re: Splitter traded for 2007 second-rounder Georgios Printezis and top-55 protected 2
So the reason for the second is so the NBA didn't have to rule whether Printezis is "reasonably likely to come over". I imagine that that was the hangup a couple days ago. Rights to guys who have very little chance of coming over don't count as "something" for trade purposes. The pick erases that distinction.
So why not just the pick? The Spurs probably have some believe that Georgios may be willing to come over. What position does he play? Is there a chance he could survive in the big leagues?

Re: Splitter traded for 2007 second-rounder Georgios Printezis and top-55 protected 2
The return on Splitter IS Aldridge.
Given the way the details of this were made public, I suspect that there might have been some sort of agreement to make this a bigger trade if the Aldridge thing had fallen through.

He's a PF. I can't imagine they'd bring another PF on board with Duncan, Aldridge, Diaw and West already there.

It's possible that only LMA and Tim are Spurs this time next year, though. West will almost certainly move on, and Diaw has a partially guaranteed deal.

Yep. Hawks get Splitter. We get Aldridge. Portland gets nothing.

SF/PF ... but looking at his pathetic stats, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgios_Printezis
Last year he had the highest scoring average of his career.
I agree with you... if a 2007 pick isn't likely to come over, then why even bother giving it away?
I don't think this guy can make it in the NBA though.

I... doubt it. He's established over there. I can't imagine a minimum deal would be appealing, and he'd be jammed behind all those post guys.

He plays for a Greek team... haven't you been watching the news about Greece lately?

So what? Are they burning players for warmth? He can move to Spain or Israel or something.

Re: Splitter traded for 2007 second-rounder Georgios Printezis and top-55 protected 2
He would be a stretch 4/hustle guy, his outside shot is not that great though. Loves putting up floaters and flip shots. His ability to switch onto smaller players on D is probably his best asset but I'm not sure how well that translates against NBA guards.

You think? The Spurs should have $10 million or so to pay West assuming something hovering around a $90 million 2016 cap, and the 2016 free agent crop is pretty weak anyways. I though Diaw was fully guaranteed until 2017-18 when the Spurs have an option on his deal.

Re: Splitter traded for 2007 second-rounder Georgios Printezis and top-55 protected 2
Holy fuck. Is anyone around here ever happy?
"Trading Splitter to Atlanta essentially netted us Aldridge and West, but we only got rights and a pick from Atlanta directly...:cry Oh well...at least we might be able to pick up Austin Daye from the waiver wire...:cry"

What I mean is, his Greek team will be so broke that they can't pay him.

The Spurs are going to majorly capped out next season. Hell, they'll be pushing the tax very soon this year. I dunno if they'll have space for West or if they even want to reup him. A lot is still up in the air.
Diaw has $3 Million this next season guaranteed. The rest and all of next season is not. No option, though.
