Splitter's deal doesn't expire until after the 2011/12 season. Does he have a player option or NBA clause or what?
Is this guy ever gonna be a Spur?
offseason forum
Tiago recently signed a new contract, but he has an out where he can come to the NBA. The Spurs want him, but it is a question of whether or not he wants to play in the NBA. The money is an issue, but so is his desire to play in the NBA.
If it is going to happen, it is going to happen next season more than likely.
Splitter will be a Spur next year.
I agree with this statement.
blair is making a name for himself
hopefully splitter will think he can earn playing time even with blair here
scola did not think he could with the other bigs here
That is not true.
Can't see Splitter coming.
He's not going to give up money to come over and sit out 6-12 months unpaid during an NBA work stoppage that will be on the horizon.
ducks never is
I can't see the players' holding out that long.
Me either. They don't have the leverage.
This guy isn't all that really, if he ends up getting to the NBA I think a lot of Spurs fans will be dissapointed with him.
Tiago can come over and make more money after this season because of the fact that he will no longer be bound by the rookie salary scale. The Spurs can pay him more money than a normal rookie. He'll be here next year.
well this time pop doesnt have to climb the mountains of slovenia to sign him, but go through the amazon of brazil to persuade splitter to sign on this dotted line.
Tiago can still make as much if not more money in Europe as he could in the NBA next year. Even if he gets the full MLE.
Scola could have as well.
Just depends on what Splitter wants to do.
I'm afraid he will be another Luis Scola... again!
I don't see him coming over next year. The Spurs already have McDyess down for 3 yrs.
McDyess isn't a starter now and he certainly won't be in the next few years..
I'm not optimistic about Splitter coming and I would rather include his rights in a trade for a legit big that could help us now, but I wouldn't mind having him on the Spurs at all..I don't really follow him though, so can anybody tell me whether he's shown any serious interest in the NBA?..
At first he was very high on comming into the NBA until he started to make real good money and then things changed. It will come down to money and his desire to play or not to play in the NBA. I would love for him to come over so I don't have to read anymore Ian....post.....
If he does come over then we have a good center and if not then we can always go after our favorite greek player..Bronto.........![]()
splitter will get more minutes then theo if he comes over
hopefully booner will be gone by next year
Naw, the deal is I don't see any team really taking up McDyess' contract next year so the Spurs can relieve room to sign Splitter if he opts out. Maybe the year after next since his contract expires....
Many say he'll be a serviceable big, like a Andris Biedrins or PJ Brown in his younger career, but you can't blame him staying overseas w/ what the other organization offered him compared to the Spurs.
