Just watching the replay of tnt's postgame last night.
They were showing Oneal and Bosh together, and it made me think....
Oneal/Bosh
Shaq/Amare
Gasol/Bynum
Oden/Aldridge
Yao/Scola or Laundry
Oberto,Bonner,Thomas,Ian/Duncan---this is just embarrassing. I really want to believe but we need another credible big, or it will be a long season. Splitter may have done it....
Instant chuckle.
This has been an issue since Nazr and Rasho left. Sad to say but I would have rather not have traded Rasho away.
Well trade for someone or sign someone by the end of the deadline...Pop knows our need and will not lay back and expect us to win with this shallow of Bigs.... get someone BIG TIME....BOOK IT
We just dont have the trading pieces to bring over a big thats better than what we have. It's Mahimni or Bust
Kwame Brown for Pau Gasol.......
it really pissed me off when he decided not to sign with the spurs.
anyways.
when is he available to play for the spurs again?
next year?
Yo, I feel your pain.
Spurs got unlucky that he was a late first rounder so they were limited on the money they could have paid him. If he was a 2nd rounder, he'd probably be a Spur. The NBA will probably change this rule somehow due to overseas compe ion.
but will he be able to play for the spurs next year?
gosh, dangit. answer the stupid question!
just kidding!
Rasho looks awfully good right now. At least his defense and rotations were excellent, and clearing out a driving lanes for our guards.
Hahah.but will he be able to play for the spurs next year?
gosh, dangit. answer the stupid question!
just kidding!
Splitter's contract has a buyout clause so he could join the Spurs next year.
Unfortunately, the outlook is not good. They can still only pay him $1 million (1st round pick pay scale) next year while Tau's probably willing to pay $3-5 million.
In addition, the max the Spurs can pay for his buyout is $500,000 or so, if the contract buyout is higher, the Spurs can't get him.
This much I recall, if some other Spur fans know better, feel free to correct me.
danight; that really, really sucks.
i think (from what i've seen of splitter), that we would definitely be le favorites/contenders with a GREAT big man like him.
i mean, he is not amare, but if he could play superb defense, and then give us 10ppg; whew, watch out NBA!
maybe the spurs can somehow convince him to play...for the love of the game.
Agreed, there wouldn't be so many Trade Parker/Manu/Duncan/YoMomma threads around here if Splitter were here. He'd solve lots of problems, and yes, I've seen him play, he's a baller.
You're a fool, but at least you're an HonestFoolmaybe the spurs can somehow convince him to play...for the love of the game.
well that's why i want him.Agreed, there wouldn't be so many Trade Parker/Manu/Duncan/YoMomma threads around here if Splitter were here. He'd solve lots of problems, and yes, I've seen him play, he's a baller.
not cause i care about that trades; because no matter how much fans cry and whine here, they are not going to get anyone traded.
but we'd be dang good.
You're a fool, but at least you're an HonestFool
you and your lord of the rings quotes..
ha.
Yup, Spurs would have been bad-ass with a Splitter/Duncan combo, he's got size, athleticism, scoring and great defense. He really improved his post game in the last year. He'd be a top tier NBA Center.
Hahah, just messin' with you. Yah, I loved Lord of the Rings, can't forget those quotes.you and your lord of the rings quotes..
ha.
You miss me- you know you do...
Getting rid of Rasho's 42 million is worth seing Bonner single handedly take the crown of worst NBA starter in NBA history.
You miss me- you know you do...
HILARIOUS
I would have rather have kept Rasho's 8 million a year( which expires this year) than use that money on Bonner/ Butler/ Elson/ Oberto.
Who knows if we kept Rasho maybe Scola would be wearing silver and black right now. Seeing how we used some of Rasho's money for Jackie Butler.
another tiago ing splitter thread?
i believe he signed a 3 year deal with tau. another poster said he won't be available til 2010.
I didn't intend this to be a splitter thread, just there are some pretty incredible 4/5 combos out there this year. Reminds of the David/Tim years.
Edit.. wrong thread
not to rekindle this thread or anything but:
McDyess/Duncan does better. We'd have to eat bonners 3M+lux and pay mickydeys $$, but it is it worth it
sorry about the edit, hit return accidentley before I could finish
