Splitter signs a four-year extension with Tau

[T Park]

Why is a guy who helps him and his family (or eventual family) out by taking more money a loser?

Blame the Spurs for taking the risk.

Blame the Spurs for drafting a guy who promised he was coming over the next season?

Great logic

[T Park]

*facepalm*

Yeah, cause you keep thinking its something else.

[ducks]

be funny if he gets hurt and sticks it to tau






not wishing him injury
just mad at tau

[spurs1990]

Its bout that time to jump up of damn cliff.

So who the F are we gonna pick up in the draft?

[T Park]

Is he even answering phones? Last we saw the Spurs absolutely jilted him.

Wrong again.

As usual.

[dougp]

I personally hope that we hold his draft rights and never allow him to enter the NBA. To y'all who are saying that he did what he did for his family/himself, etc. He made a promise, and we wasted a pick because he wanted to come here. He's nothing but a second-rate who deserves to stay in a second-rate league for breaking a promise that lead to him being drafted.

[Mr. Body]

Move the on trick.

He's had two good moves in the last three years: Oberto, Udoka. Mahinmi was Presti's boy.

Suck my .

Did he really promise the Spurs??

[koopa]

this is why i hate rc and his bright ass white teeth, wasted pick after wasted pick, we luck out twice with tony and manu, and now we have to only drafter ass foreingers, we need to only draft americans cause even though they will probably be a bust cause our scouts suck ass, we'll have at least tried to develop talent and maybe find a good player......... drafting all these foreigners lessens our chance of finding players to help out tim duncan

[ducks]

Did he really promise the Spurs??

why would spurs pick him if he did not
THINK

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

RC was enticed by the power of Splitter's name.

[T Park]

He's had two good moves in the last three years: Oberto, Udoka. Mahinmi was Presti's boy.

Suck my .

Wow, with takes like that...

[T Park]

Did he really promise the Spurs??

yup

[Mr. Body]

Wrong again.

T Schmuck, before I put you on ignore, let me learn ya. Your drivel about Javtokas not wanting to compete with Elson is so far up your ass it's unbelievable, since Elson wasn't part of the team yet. Javtokas sent back a lowball offer, i.e. one lower than expected, a normal part of negotiating.

The Spurs turned arond and offered money to Elson and Butler the next week. They never gave another offer to Javtokas. People ed around here - probably you too - thinking he was owed something, but this is normal procedure, like how Oberto opted out last summer to get more years.

But since you have the brain wattage of penguin frozen out in the Arctic wastes you can't comprehend any of this and keep repeating the same tired, boring bull .

I've had enough of you.

I'm asking if that was just conjecture if he said for sure on paper, or quoted he'd come IN 2008-2009 season, since the way the Spurs do it, is wait two to three years til' they're ready, a la Manu, Scola/Oberto.

I agree. He declared for the NBA draft for a reason! Sure, the economy has changed in a year....

Yes.

The Spurs are the model franchise, 4 time NBA champions.

You think they would draft a player more on just a promise. Drafting and shiping their players to Europe to "develop" has finally caught up with them.

oh

[easjer]

Not surprising, but upsetting all the same.

Well . Back to square 1.

We might as well have not bothered drafting anyone for all the good the last draft did us. We probably could have traded those picks for, you know, something.

My gut reaction is that they should hold his rights for ing us over, but that means that our international relationships get screwed. People won't work with the Spurs if they hear that they are out to screw the international players.

In the end, it's ultimately the Spurs' own fault - they need to stop drafting and stashing. It always runs a risk - in this case, as with Scola, it bit them in the ass.

(still, my heart says Tiago.)

So uh, is everyone else that made that point wrong too?

[beachwood]

This is horrible news. Can we not draft another euro who is going to ditch us?

count backwards from 10 and get a grip. the sky isnt falling.

[T Park]

Yes.

They drafted the best player available at that point of the draft.

Don't know what else you want them to do.

And he's getting paid alot more for it.

[ShoogarBear]

I bet David Stern had something to do with this.
