Praise the Lord.
I guess we'll have to wait for his troll to post.
Tau has lost yet another final four compe ion.I know there will never be another DRob, but we need a young, athletic big to help Duncan...the Spurs would dominate with Splitter at center...
Splitter played well but DID NOT dominate anybody.
Well, if that's the case, maybe he should stay with Tau...
Well, I'm not going to panic until something comes out of Splitter's camp.
He is brazilian. He'll follow his dreams and sign with the Spurs.
Guaranteed.
(One year, for minimum).
We don't need a role player, we need a player who know's he's good enough to make an impact in the NBA. If Rasho can make $8mil per year someone who thinks they are any good should be licking their chops to be in the NBA. A good 7 footer should make atleast $50 mil in their career. Pass that up for a guaranteed $6 mil, I don't think so if you think you have the ability. If he doesn't think so he wouldn't help the spurs anyways.
Tau's willingness to try and outbid the Spurs/NBA definitely shows that Splitter is a good player whose market value is going up...up...up.
we're lucky to have a chance at him at the NBA rookie contract price.
I'm not too worried about Splitter at this point. If he doesn't want to come to the NBA now, his NBA dreams will pretty much be over. Up to him ... but I haven't seen any quote from him to indicate that he's thinking about staying with Tau.
Besides, there could be a number of factors at work. For all we know, the Spurs may think he's not ready yet and could tell him to season a couple more years in Spain. The Spurs may think Ian Mahinmi is a much better prospect and don't have room for Splitter next year.
Once the NBA season is over and the draft time approaches, that's when it's time to start really paying attention to what Splitter and the Spurs are going to do. Right now, neither side could do anything even if they wanted to.
Tony received a rookie contract and now is banking, so Splitter can too.
so if he becomes a spurs chances are he's a baller.
Hey, thats the downside of drafting foreign players. Its up to mgt to convince him the prestige of playing in the NBA beats any other leagues regardless of pay. MIght be a tough sell though. If he comes to SA great, if not, we move on.
Just another reason why the Spurs philosophy of all their draft eggs into the international basket is an unabalanced one - to say the least. As brillant as they've been in finding international talent, they've SUCKED in honing and developing one single, young, domestic player. Sure they need NBA-ready type of players right now. I just hope they're able to break their streak by getting at least one in this June's NBA draft.

The power of dreams.
An NBA team can get away with paying peanuts and not getting a monkey.
Ain't gonna stress over somethin' I can't do much about either way, but I really don't want to see this turn in to a sequel of Scola.
Splitter needs to take notice of how the Spurs treated Luis because of his contract crap, and realize that his best chance of making it in the NBA, and perhaps really making the bigtime, is gonna be next year.
Money now, or success later. Figure it out, dude.
it is a game, both sides have to gamble.
leave it until the postseason is over.
but i honestly hope Splitter will become a spur next season.
Oh for 's sake not this Scola again.
it is not scola again first round picks get so much money period
spurs can not be cheap on him
For the first time in my life, I may ponder crying if he does not come to San Antonio next season. Seriously, that would suck!
Rapaz, eu vou chorar se ele nao vem. Nossa senhora, nem me fale isso!!! Mas que bosta se nos nao conseguimos ele aqui ja no ano que vem!
Did you catch the caption under Tiago's photo in that article?
"There's a good chance that Tiago Splitter will pay in the NBA next season."
Damn, Holt IS cheap!
Mas acho que ele vai pra San Antonio. Ele tem o sonho de jogar na NBA e aposto que ele vai fazer issoRapaz, eu vou chorar se ele nao vem. Nossa senhora, nem me fale isso!!! Mas que bosta se nos nao conseguimos ele aqui ja no ano que vem!
If his dream is to play in the NBA for a championship level team then there is no choice to be made. You must assume risk to get your dreams, most people are unhappy because they don't have the guts to take on the risk of chasing their dreams.
