The US economy is rather large relative to Spain and I don't believe anyone would believe the MLS is superior to La Liga.
I'll sign for the Spurs fo free.

I am not a lawyer. I'm not even a quarter that smart....
Straw that breaks the camels back. R.C. has been whiffing lately. He has ridden on Tony and Manu's coat tails for a while now.
2007 Splitter and Marcus Williams
2006 nuttin'
2005 Ian Mahinmi (?)
2004 Beno, Romain Sato and Frankenstein (Sergei Karaulov)
2003 Traded 1st round pick to Phx who drafts Barbosa
2002 Trades picks except Scola
When did we pick up Sankidze?
Anyway, he gets props for unloading Francisco for Kurt Thomas but unless Ian turns out to be a stud and Sankidze catches fire or he somehow signs VSpan and that pans out, what the heck has he done for me lately?
Can we trade Splitter and RC to Seattle for Presti and Elson?
Time for RC to retire.
Okay.
So, will someone tell where Tiago's situation currently stands?
I take it nothing has been signed, so this is pretty much speculation at this point.
Pop is actually a pretty good GM when he does that full time. Of course, then you would have to find a coach and I am not sure who would be a good match, A.J.?
He is offer 35-40 million euros tax free by CSKA. This is mention many time in Europe press. You fail at math and you are Ugly American type. It is impossible deal with this type of person.
Offer Tiago an Argentian Shoe Contract
Euroleague include 23 countries not just Spain. But facts are something you not care about as can be see from all your posts.
He will come to NBA as long as it is consider best league with best players. This will only change if that was to change. He will come back to NBA for sure. Issue is if Spurs wants him to come this year they must meet him and make him believe they will play him. if not do this he will stay 2 more years in PAO then pick which NBA team he want plays for.
Reason he have this at ude is because remember Rockets GM and also Van Gundy promise him at least 10 minutes each game and also he will average 20-25 minutes all year and he will be starter by playoffs.
Because of this accept much less money than he was offer in new contract by PAO. PAO owner was to give him new much bigger contract and Rockets only offer what he wwas make in old one.
Also he even accept much less than other NBA teams offer. 6 NBA teams offer full MLE and his agent have many offers to make trades for his rights and then get full MLE. All he have to do is tell Rockets he will never sign with them and they will trade him for other rights and money to such team and he will get MLE.
Pistons is one team wanted do this very badly. He believes Rockets is honest in that he will play and takes LLE money deal from Rockets as favor. And because he "dreams of NBA" and wants thank them for have Mavs draft him for them.
Look what happens. Look how he is repay for take all less money. And first day of practice Van Gundy change story and deny he ever promise playing time even though PAO owner told media and show them on paper guarantee 10 minutes. He see and is told dame thing when Rockets ask him let Spanoulis out of contract.
This is type of thing actions by Van Gundy and Rockets to Spanoulis why players like Splitter and Fernandez are so careful about what NBA teams promise now. The agents believe no such things as "next contract will be bigger and we pay you back" or "yes, yes you will play we promise". Spurs can thank Van Gundy for this. This well known in Europe after Spanoulis deal there is zero trust for NBA by Europe agents and players now.
So you must understand how Spanoulis feel. He was lie to and cheat out of money by Van Gundy before so he will want really believe NBA team is honest with him. And he will not consider any team where he will not be playing. So Spurs must understand this after what Rockets do to him. Also because in PAO owner treat him like son. he is the owners favorite and is chosen to be face of PAO and franchise player for future to replace Alvertis. Understand PAO is rank as #1 or #2 biggest and richest sports club in world also with Barcelona. So this mean much fame and endorsement money and these things.
He is sacrifice much to come to NBA especially with family. he is very close with family and Rockets never allow him any ways with this. Just tell his mom shut her mouth and stop complain and him also. Even though he have dead father from before, dead stepfather, and mother try suicide.
So yes he will come NBA for sure to prove what he can do after PAO contract is over and he also will come before this to right situation but only if he believe team is tell truth and he will be treat right way.
Are you saying the Rockets still own VSpan's rights even after they bought him out and waived him?
Right. You have to band together to compete against the US.
Anyways, is La Liga a league for all of Europe or only for Spain? Take as much time as you want.
The way he looks reminds people of a YOUNG kg
No sorry bad English. Spanoulis sign with Rockets I think some time maybe June or July in 2006. Before this time Pistons is try very hard make trade for his rights and will offer him MLE. 5 other teams also want make trade and will give him MLE. This time like 2005 to 2006.
6 teams try do this were
Pistons
Kings
Warriors
Mavericks
Spurs
Blazers
Kill_Bill_Pana you are no longer a Greek!
DEPART!

OK. I suppose there may be a couple of teams interested in giving him the full MLE this summer. I just don't think the Spurs are one of them.
Dude, you have to get up to date with facts. Spain is part of the Euro-zone, and the European Union. That is a fully integrated internal market that operates as a single en y. In terms of GDP it is the biggest economy of the planet. Whether they had to combine together or not, it's totally irrelevant.
TAU plays not only in the Spanish League, but the Euroleague, which draws revenues from the whole continent.
The Euroleague is not up to par with the NBA in terms of play, and probably never will be, but the NBA has to realize that it's not the only player of a sport that is global in its development. The NBA is not on the same operating scale as the NFL, NHL, MLB.
And while it might seem ridicoulous to you, fans, players, coaches, organizations, around the world prepare, and completely enjoy winning the Onlympics, the Euroleague, or the Eurobasket tournaments.
I am not someone that comes to the aide of KBP, but Americans have to understand it's a big big world out there and they have to open their eyes.
I feel bad for how the Splitter situation developed, but I too believe that the Spurs have only themselves to blame for this. This 'draft and stash' maybe worked with Manu, but it can't work forever. If they truly believed in the guy, than maybe they should have brought him in last year, or promised to draft him, and bring him in at 20 years old. Therefore now that he is 23, he would have been eligible for a big NBA contract. This is how the rest of the NBA works, you don't draft good players, and stash them along, and perpetually rebuild. The Spurs were the only ones to be able to do that, but now it seems like they too will go the way of other teams. When your team gets old, you have to start rebuilding your team from scratch like everyone else does.
And despite being the having the largest GDP on the planet, the EU/Eurozone/runners up don't have a basketball league which offers long-term guaranteed contracts on par with the NBA. Thanks for playing.
So... how bout that Tiago Splitter?
Then you really have not read KBP carefully. Teams are more and more able to do so. They probably can't offer the type of contracts that Duncan, KG, Dirk, Kobe, Shaq, LeBron, get in the NBA but they are more and more able to offer the medium sized contracts.
And Splitter was not the next Duncan.
You also probably don't know of other big name veterans in the Euroleague that have passed on the NBA because they make much better money in Europe.
That is pretty darn good for a sport, that is MAYBE (probably not though) a very distant second to soccer is Europe.
Now I am not gonna be y and say thanks for playing, but there are some knowledgable people on this board. Try to read what they say or you are the one that looks like complete fool.
