    Should Tiago choose to sign with the Spurs this summer, what number will he wear?

    He said at his press conference after being drafted in '07 that he'd wear number 25.

    No earlier than the end of the Spanish League playoffs. His team is up 2-0 in a best of 5 semifinal. Game 3 is tomorrow. If they advance, I believe the finals are also best of 5.

    For one to know

    He would need multiples of 5

    He could find it by the search key

    He could find it dead or alive

    For life means nothing more

    Than time with which it winds

    For no man has won a match

    A match with the sands of time

    One ... two ... three, four, five

    Times you multiply to unearth 25

    For off I go, parting is such sweet sorrow

    For each breath I've taken, past-tense, nothing left for tomorrow

    No time to waste, no words left to be said

    For I am Dead Poet, emphasis on dead....

    I think since he was drafted by Spurs in 2007, Spurs retain his rookie right whenever he is willing to play in NBA.

    The reason why he did not come to US was the salary NBA teams could offer was much less than in Euro due to the limitation of Rookie salary scale, now it is 3 years from the draft day and the contract Spurs can offer turns to be of many kinds, of course MLE or partially MLE is reasonable IMO.

    After the July 1st, teams can talk to FAs and then Spurs will definitely negotiate with Tiago Splitter, and then we will see if he could become a Spur.

    He's already been named the league MVP, so he's already held in very high regard over there. I don't think the offers he may receive will be much affected if his team wins it all.

    On that note, beating Barcelona in the finals would be quite an upset. They have already won the Euroleague championship and have a ridiculous record in combined play (something like 59-5).

    A man's breath since ceased

    A mind wanders while delayed

    Ripped from a life and a one's family

    But pop culture never fades

    For when Public Enemy graced the stage

    Chuck, Flav and the Professor changed the game

    Bringing politically-driven music

    A sense of purpose never never to be tamed

    Men who fly the flag of PE or use the likeness of their names

    Need to know their limitations

    Overreaching defiles a legacy just the same

    The sand has fallen to completion

    The glass now bottom-filled

    An energy that had birthed a spirit wanes

    A days fate has been sealed

    The words leave the canvas

    Only a spirit left in its stead

    The man they call Dead Poet

    The emphasis on dead....

    At least use some kind of rhyme scheme, otherwise it sounds just terrible.

    Actually, it does have a scheme and flow quite well. It's every other bar from the second line.

    On the phonetic level it's definitely okay.
    Regarding the rhyme scheme it's clearly not okay. Since when does delayed rhyme with never fades? At least not in a classical rhyme scheme.

    Homepage for the Spanish League. On the right side of the page, you will see a box that says ORANGE 360. Right now, you can click the buttons next to the Caja Laboral-Real Madrid games and see Games 1 and 2 of the semifinals. Splitter is #21 in white.

    At 1:30 CT today, a button labeled "en juego" will appear next to the last game listed. Click on that to watch Game 3 live.

    The real number to be concerned about, however, is the $ number. If it is true that someone like, say, Real would be able to pay Splitter $8-10M Euros ($9.7M - 12.2M USD), then the Spurs would be hard-pressed to compete.

    An energy brings forth the spirit of a man

    A spirit who makes his presence felt, for those that never had

    The means to open a book or discover artistry

    eisfeld, know the name Dead Poet: licensed poetically

    Austiran born or bred

    He knows not what he says

    For Schwarzenegger brought him warmth

    While California's finances bled

    Thou bid you adieu

    As thou hope to do the same

    Of a certain Spurs forward

    Whose hair's been set ablaze

    And on his way out that door

    That he might take a friend

    A man know as a Mason

    Owner of a tarantula-breeding head

    The energy now fading from the fore

    This poet recedes to the under

    Six-feet below thou can't ignore

    Remember thy name and this time

    Remember the words of the Dead

    Poet, that is

    The emphasis on dead...
