I think we'll need to wait the end of Spanish league
The potential payoff of playing in the NBA is much greater than in Europe. There is a glass ceiling overseas and every year he waits will delay that opportunity because the rookie contract situation stays the same. One can live very well on a guaranteed 3/4 year deal in the NBA. He will get the best coaching and training in the league.
Hopefully Splitter realizes the opportunity he can have in San Antonio. Who knows, if he continues to improve, he can have a 10-12 year career in the Alamo city as the team moves on to the next generation of players. I can think of worse situations to be in.

Whatever he chooses, he'll make more money than a reasonable person needs to live a comfortable life.
And to play basketball.

If it's true, big you to Splitter.
Well, I hate Splitter's game. I know most of you like it, but I just don't see how he would fit into the team.
But with that being said, we need some younger guys in the frontcourt, and I do think that this is probably one of our only options to get younger this offseason, and if he knows what's good for him, he'll come to SA next season.
I'm pretty sure Horry will be gone, so that's one stiff we can take off the roster. Now I just think it would be great if we could get rid of Oberto.
If MARCA says it, it will not happen. They're jinx.
Can someone trabnslate.... whats the article say?
This will just be a kick in the teeth if hes not coming over.
Spurs send someone in Spain to convince Splitter to sign with SA this summer but Splitter said no and will sign an extension with Tau.
If it's true, I will be damn disappointed in Splitter. I thought he wasn't in the Carlos Boozer mold.
just wow...very bad news
Is there a confirmation on this stuff or is it just premature speculation?
The Spurs are not good enough to withstand squandered picks.
And if Splitter accepted and SIGNED a contract extention with Tau Ceramica (a TILE company) then he is getting the same bad advise Scola got. Very short sighted if he is an elite player.
Spanoulis is in very bad situation. World's greatest sports rivalry of Panathinaikos and Olympiakos is make careers of him and Diamantidis in bad place.
Giannakis the national team coach and coach of Olympiakos is be threaten by PAO owners and also head of FIBA Europe Vassilokopulos who is also Greek. PAO owners is threaten that players of PAO can never again play in national team if Giannakis is coach which mean no Olympics for them. Also Giannakis is been threaten PAO players during Greek final and also have call Diamantidis a got and Spanoulis a moron.
And this is same coach develop Spanoulis at Maroussi. Fans of teams have been fire rockets and grenades at coaches and players try injure them during games. Also PAO owner is say his players will do what he say and be ban from national team indefinte time. He also say when Greek sport federation or FIBA punish PAO and also Greek player of PAO they must accept whatever happen which can be suspension for remainder of player contract and also banishment from international compe ion.
If ever time for Spurs to push for Spanoulis now is time.
if true,let him rot over there and let ian kick some ass.....ian might be more suited for nba play and the spurs.
we are really gonna need to et a good FA this offseason
maybe vspan can help this year.....i know everyone talks about him but the vids i see is not a bad player...
This could set off a domino affect that could hurt this franchise for contending for a long time.
I would hope if a contract has not yet been signed that R.C. Buford would get on the next plane to Spain or Brazil and convince this guy to come to the Spurs this year. That should be the general managers responsibility.
The articles I've read up until now indicated Splitter has a manageble buy out from his Euroleague team and that he wanted to come over in 2008. If the Spurs manage to botch this draft pick by not getting Splitter in here for another three years, then they are starting to make the mistakes that cannot be made if you want to get better. Not good at all.

Terrible news. Why not some more after last night.
! If the rumor turns out to be true, that's even worst than last night lost
Could someone back in SA get confirmation of this signing from a Spurs rep? Sucks.
Far as I can tell the article indicates that he will sign, not that he has done so already. Doesn't look good but it's not a done deal, no?
If he wants to make a name for himself, this is not the answer. Come to SA play well for just 1 season and the money will be there for him. Staying put for a few extra bucks and avoiding the NBA is stupid.
this is so bad.
unbelievable!
!
If he has this little compe ive drive to come to the NBA and showoff his skills then the with this guy. If he plays well in the NBA he is going to make tons of money. He must doubt his ability to do that.
