Splitter's not going anywhere. Spurs will match any offer, no matter how outlandish it is, unfortunately.
San Antonio Spurs restricted free-agent center Tiago Splitter could command an offer sheet that averages $8.5 million to $9 million annually, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to be a suitor for Splitter, league sources said. The Utah Jazzand Atlanta Hawks have salary-cap space, a need for a young center and general managers – Dennis Lindsey and Danny Ferry, respectively – who were Spurs front-office executives when Splitter came into the organization.
The Spurs will be in a strong position to match an offer sheet and keep Splitter, because they'll free of Stephen Jackson's $10 million salary and expect to re-sign Manu Ginobili at a lesser salary than the $14.1 million he made this season.
The baseline for a Splitter offer sheet will likely be the three-year, $25 million deal that Houston awarded center Omer Asik in free agency a year ago, sources told Y! Sports.

He took a step back and he was already leaning against the wall.
bigs in general are getting overpaid in the league these days. 8-9m a year sounds the right price in this screwed-up market but the Spurs ain't gonna pay him that much imho. Pop knows his ceiling and the real value of this player, so he'll probably just let him go and get overpaid elsewhere imho.
tbh I like Tiago and have always been a big supporter but I think he needs to be sign and traded. He should have been traded mid-season for KG with Jackson. After the Finals I'm not sure he'll ever be the same. His most memorable highlight will forever being made Lebron's
He definitely bottomed out. I thought he was going to amount to something. I was wrong.
He was playing through an ovarian cyst in the finals, tbh...some leeway should be afforded here
tiago is horrible against elite small-ball squads.
$8 million for a 7 footer that couldn't even post up against Mike Miller or Shane Battier
I can't think of a softer guy in the nba than Splitter on offense.
must overpay for bigs, but isnt that near the same price what spurs also paid for rasho when he was here....
somewhere in a corner in america, blair must feel like real missing out on a big contract like splitters offer....lol if spurs give him minimum for his circus antic shots
Rasho was a hard ass back in the day, didn't shirk any dirty works and was one of the league's best shot blockers. 6m/yr for a sweeper ain't a great deal at that time but he could get the job done at least. Championship doesn't like imho
