They can sign Bonner and Mason. I have a feeling they will be free after these playoffs.
took that from some site. they seemed pretty accurate on their evaluations of other players.
What does probably injury prone mean exactly? Do you not like his foot width so therefore he is injury prone?
Brad miller, Brad Miller, Brad freakin miller...You gotta be kidding me..
A Brad Miller on his prime is pretty damn good.
They can sign Bonner and Mason. I have a feeling they will be free after these playoffs.
I'm sure no one will want either 2 during Free agency.
Except maybe Vander.
I`d said he reminds me a little bit of David Lee. Good pick&roll player. Have some post moves. Have size, good hands.
He doesnt have Brad Miller`s range
His team partner Teletovic is interesting. Very good rebounder with 3pts range, for euroleague standarts.
Either freakin way we get a center a postion that we have needed for three freakin years. This will be huge for us because every player who plays with Timmy "except freakin RJ" does much better!
The second unit would be bad ass with Manu ,Temple ,Blair , RJ (please trade) draft pick (Butler, Quincy, or Hayword) and freakin Splitter! With Manu having the ball in his hand with this group you would see so many dunks from Blair and Splitter.....WOW!
Off Season = Temple and Splitter in the weight room all summer.
His floater and hook shots are really unorthodox.
What about his defense? Is he a shot blocker or Matt Bonner-esq?
Splitter should be a capable 5, but who's going to guard the Dirks of the world out on the perimeter? Still in need of that elusive defensive long SF.
Splitter and Manu are going to destroy teams on the pick and roll.
I've been saying for more than a year that Splitter would join the Spurs, or at least the NBA, this Summer...
Why can't Baskonia talk to Fesenko's agent? Of course they can. Hopefully we'll see Fesenko in green next season though.
Huh? Terrible scouting report and comparisons. What the heck those guys have in common anyway? I can only think they're all pretty tough.
Splitter will be a perfect fit. At this point in his career (and with the league going smaller and faster), Duncan lacks the mobility to guard four's. He has to be a five. At the same time, he's not a true five, in the mold of O'Neal, Yao, etc. So he needs another center sized big next to him to guard mobile, face up four's. The types that have killed the Spurs for years, mainly Nowitzki and Stoudemire. Splitter should be a big help in this area, as well as offering more length and shot blocking at the rim. It's my understanding that he's not a great shot blocker, but he'll instantly be an upgrade on every Spurs rotation big not named Duncan in the past few years.
Until he proves he can be a solid player in the NBA he sucks taint for all I care.
Splitter and Brad Miller are very diferent. Splitter can't shoot from the outside but he has a better low post play.
Of course there are a lot of guys from Argentina here but Splitter since he was a boy in Spain.I saw him a lot of games all these years.
At best he could be as good as Marc Gasol is.That's pretty good for us.
Unfortunately those guys are hard to find.
Miller isn't a bad comparison, but he doesn't have the range of Brad Miller. He also looks a lot more fundamental than Miller.
At this point I don't care how polished his skills are, I just want to see a legit big man standing along side Tim. That's all we need.
Call me when the plane lands.
Dennis Lindsey is already making plans.
Maybe it's me, but Splitter looked a little heavy-footed and slow on his spin moves and rolls to the basket. This highlight clips didn't show any defensive plays, so I have no idea about his prowess in that area.
Still, he would be a welcomed addition to this club for many of the reasons already stated. A definite upgrade. I wish we had him for this Mavs series.
I look forward to seeing a bigman rotation of Duncan, Dice, Blair, Splitter and Mahinmi for next year. That would be stout.
The only two guys that fit that description nowadays (at least that I can think of off the top of my head) are Tayshaun Prince and Corey Brewer.
Too bad it'll most likely be Bonner instead of Ian. Still a great big lineup, to go alongside Tony/Hill/Manu/RJ/no RMJ. Next years team will be crazy stacked.
We knew this the minute Manu signed an extension.
Splitter is going to help.
Duncan no more than 28 MPG next year.
well his got a long way to reach the legend status of rasho nesterovic
The thought of next year's team with Tiago Splitter gets me pretty pumped up. The Spurs have been missing that paint presence alongside Duncan for a couple of years now and it will be nice to get back to that brand of Spurs basketball (assuming it all works out). Doesn't look like Roger Mason, Jr. will be back and I'd like to see Malik Hairston get Keith Bogans' minutes. I wonder if we let him walk, too? Throw in a more comfortable Richard Jefferson in his second year in the system and I like what we have. Hopefully the Spurs will have a great draft as I think there is some quality talent to be had at #20. I think Quincy Pondexter of Washington or James Anderson of Oklahoma State would be solid pick-ups that could contribute right away. They have the scoring and defensive abilities that we need and they'd be good fits, IMO.
Nice bank shot there at the end of the clip.
