    If we're gonna trade him, then let's give him to an East team that sucks, but everyone still likes. Like the Hawks.

    If Splitter is a goner, then I'd really be curious to hear a rationale for not giving Mahinmi a spot in the rotation, unless the plan is just to use him to dump Bonner's contract and then sign a bunch of vet-minimum 40-year-olds who can stand around and watch Tim Duncan slowly petrify, while Manu's limbs fall off and Tony starts getting chummy with his future Laker teammates.

    Trading this guy for nothing or to dump a contract defeats the purpose. Besides, where is the confirmation that he has done the deal?

    Giving Splitter away for a box of band aids is stupid. We have seen that type of stuff already last summer.

    Hang on to the rights if he stays in Eur for another year and see where they are then. Besides, the Spurs don't have an 09 #1 due to the Thomas trade.

    It would be nice if the Spurs could just buy a #1 pick from somebody else for once and try and start getting younger instead of the other way around.

    This just sucks so basically the Spurs are ed for next year because they drafted a guy who they had maybe only a 50/50 shot of getting to sign with them. What the was the point of drafting this guy, Spurs are a win now team who cares what this guy will be in 2 or 3 years, we need him now.

    Splitter has made it clear ever since he was drafted that he WILL be going to the NBA. This is the first time ever that he has reportedly had second thoughts about coming to America. And besides this may not even be true, this is from a supposedly terrible news website.

    I'll believe this when its official. If it happens...then the Spurs need to reconsider drafting international players. Twice is enough...

    It would be nice to get an official word on Tiago before the NBA draft.

    The equivalent to what the E-N is to Spurs for Tau, is el correo digital http://www.elcorreodigital.com/alava/deportes/tau/ .

    If this newspaper report that Splitter is set to re-sign with Tau, this rumor will have way more credibility.

    Is the newspaper reporting it? I tried looking and I can't tell.

    He's just costing himself the longer he waits to enter the league due to that 1st round contract scale.

    Lets just say hes alot better than Oberto and Thomas...

    We all know how close Splitter and Scola are and how they wanted to play together.

    So the Spurs trade Splitter's rights + Matt Bonner's contract to Houston for Steve Francis (1 year left) + cash considerations to buy out Francis's contract. Then after the deal is done Splitter will change his mind and sign with Houston.

    He'll be a great fit there, backing up Yao when he's healthy and starting all the games Yao misses, and he'll have the great chemistry with Scola to smooth his transition.

    And this way the Spurs get to save face by unloading Bonner's contract and putting a couple of million into Holt's pockets during these uncertain economic times!
    LOL! Wrong...but funny.

    Well hes definately better than Brook Lopez whos been pegged as high as Number 3 in the draft.

    Much quicker and more agile and a better post game.

    , I think it's true.

    The guy who first reported it said in his blog Tiago signed a 2 year extension with Tau.

    He said Tau offer was 8x better

    Tiago Splitter renova com Tau
    Tiago Splitter, pivô da seleção brasileira, renovou contrato com o time que defende na Espanha, o Tau Cerâmica, por mais dois anos.

    O jogador que estava sendo sondado pelo time americano do San Antônio Spurs da NBA, preferiu aceitar a proposta financeira do time espanhol, que segundo informações teria sido oito vezes maior.

    O brasileiro já atua pelo time espanhol desde o ano 2000.

    ESPN here in Brazil is showing Pistons x Celtics. They'll talk about Tiago in the halftime. I'll put some updates in a few moments.

    But

    Splitter. I don't think you will be that stupid. When you want to follow your dream you need to sacrifice some things, like Manu did in 2002.

    I hope the Spurs trade Splitter.
