Wow, this thread reads a lot better with Suck_Pana_ on ignore.
In that case, if he was offered the full MLE then he can easily sign with the Rockets and receive 7-8 million. All he has to do is come to the Rockets. Sign for MLE and get a shoe contract lol.

No NBA team have rights to him. He is under contract 2 more years with Panathinaikos but he have zero buyout which is special contract in Europe.
But yes there is like hand shake type agreement with Spurs because they allow him out of contract to help his sick mother that if he decide come back NBA his agent should first ask Spurs if they is interest or if any NBA team offer him deal and he want take it his agent should ask Spurs first if they would also like give same deal.
Promisse? Lol.
Lets remember that Spurs actually "fu**ked" Splitter´s plan of being picked at the second round where he could negotiate his contract ala Varejão.
He even made publicity before the draft that he doesnt wished to be selected if not at lottery range. He basicly asked for teams doesnt pick him at the late first round, but SAS of course wouldnt let him go for free with that cheap pick.
I am not sure about shoe contract. I forget if he have one. I need try remember that. I believe Diamantidis have a Nike contract but I forget if Spanoulis also have Nike one.
im worried about a "handshake agreement". if we were to go after billy as in go visit him and offer him a contract what are the odds he goes to another team? im not to trusting of these euro agents right nowBut yes there is like hand shake type agreement with Spurs because they allow him out of contract to help his sick mother that if he decide come back NBA his agent should first ask Spurs if they is interest or if any NBA team offer him deal and he want take it his agent should ask Spurs first if they would also like give same deal.
Good, because I don't believe you.
Well an aging Ginobili and a young Vspan coming over makes sense for the Spurs. They are both the same type of slashing high turnover players.
He would probably get a shoe contract with Chinese shoe company Anta. even Adleman has a contract with Anta. lol
The guy obviously is interested in $$, and in two years Tau can again offer way more money than cheap Holt will pay. This was a wasted pick.
09-10?
lol
Yes this is same thing Nikola Pekovic is do in this draft. he is ask all NBA teams drafts him 2nd round even though he should be first round pick. For same reason. Maybe after Splitter issue NBA teams will listen. Pekovic is year younger than Spiltter and this year he was best big man in Europe not Splitter.
Maybe Spurs can draft Pekovic in 2nd round and then when his contract with Panathinaikos run out Spurs can give him full MLE and maybe because he already have big contract from before with PAO maybe MLE can get him.

His agent hate NBA teams after all lies from Rockets and how they handle everything. But Spanoulis is honest person. If Popovich or any other NBA manager make him believe what they say is true he would play for them. Is just he must believe what he hear is true. Van Gundy is tell him endless promises also and they were all lies.
So main thing is how Popovich have to be different than Van Gundy. But also must remember Parker already explain Spanoulis how Popovich is and explain him he is opposite of Van Gundy who even have bad reputation with Spurs players. And Oberto also explain him Van Gundy is horrible and treat him same way but then Popovich treat him exact opposite way.
So he believe Popovich is one to trust. Remember after him and Parker talk last summer in Athens he agree to play with Spurs but he cannot this year because of his mother's health and because he have already sign with Panathinaikos. But Parker change his mind.

And we could have had Kyle Korver...a known quan y!!
Duncan and Manu (screw you guys, I'm going to the Olympics) Ginobili are getting worn down by the time April rolls around.
The FO that has been praised for years is going to be our downfall. We just saw our last opportunity to repeat go down the drain. Better get used to a lower seeded Spurs team that is out of the playoffs by Round 2.
I think V-Span will go wherever is best for his career, and the money is right. He would fit into so many teams, but only those that run a motion type of offense with a high concentration of Pick and Rolls.
But, I believe it will come down to pure old fashioned money, the question is.....DOES he want to come back......maybe not..
As for Splitter, again, he is doing what is best for his career...good for him.

Adleman is a nice guy. A players coach. Tell him that everything is different now. He can come and play. Adleman played all his players down to worthless scrub Mike James. He has a reputation of playing the guys and letting them stay on the court even if they make mistakes. He will not pull the player off the court and he lets players play through and get into a rhythm. He gave Aaron Brooks plenty of minutes even though Aaron is very inconsistant. He let Landry who is a pure rookie earn about 20 minutes of rotation time just based on his practice play. Would this have happend under Van Gundy? no! So tell him to come back.
Next to Tim he would put up decent numbers just because he's next to Tim. He's alot longer than Oberto and Thomas, plus he's more fresh and able to leap better than Horry. So, off hustle and being next to the best PF ever, i'd say Splitter would be a 10 ppg 5 Rpg guy. <<<(Roughly) I am not investing huge stock in anyone right now, but Splitter is far more experienced than any other big in a potential discussion right now. Yi isn't playing next to Tim, nor is Bynum (Although he has Pau now, but he still hasn't played with him). I personally cannot wait for the draft, I always love the draft.
Uh hes taller than Scola....... And has just as good of low post moves...
dont u think he would get playing time ....who else will back up parker? i doubt we get a top point in free agency. i like what ive seen from billy...i think we should strongly consider him as a backup to parker
Splitter would or would've made an immediate impact on the Spurs. I don't think he's coming over though.
why would he go back with alston, brooks in front of him
WHAT i do now is trade for childress see if he has any upside left to be a starting SG.....
trade who
Nobody cares what you think.
Because he is better than both of them, and would more than likely become the starter, whereas with the Spurs he is not as good as Parker and would only get backup minutes.
So, which would you choose, start, or backup?
