I live in Texas.. LOL@ Expatriate.
I would rather be right half the time than wrong all the time.
Splitter isn't doing much, but it's better than bupkis.
You're no homer though, at least you don't seem to be.
negative. Oden has been pretty effective when he plays, as opposed to just taking up the 5th spot on the court. Not to mention a much better defender.
Key words there, bubba.
That's still a tad better than Tiago "71 dip s think I'll be better than Blake Griffin" Splitter.
I argue with verve . . . it's occasionally misinterpreted. I troll a bit, too.
I wasn't one of those dip s. Still, I would take a "potential" player over a "career may be over" player every ing time, but that's just the kind of dip I am.
Since when is Tiago a potential player? Don't you have to show some potential to be considered a potential player?
I'll take his 4 pts 2 boards and 6 fouls for now . . . at least he's not hurting the team.
You are barking up the wrong tree if you are trying to get me to hype Splitter. I see some potential. He's a struggling Euro, he's gonna have to play through it, or not . . .
After which season ending injury?
OK, then . . . How's that All-Injured fantasy team working for ya?
Horrible trade idea tbh. What exactly has Oden done so far in his brief college and NBA career, besides show hes got bad knees and is injury prone?
That his knees are better than Odens
you are the epitome of suck.
Just telling like it is. Oden's got a long way to go to just get on the court. I wish him well, but I wouldn't trade Splitter for him, regardless if Oden has more physical talent. The Last time Oden played a full season was in high school! Think about that for a minute big hair.
Maybe one day he can, if his knees allow it. I wish him luck.
lmao tamuk
He has been a disappointment so far. Some Spurs fans desperate for a legit bigman to pair with Duncan, overhyped Splitter, but I wanna see what a full season working with coaches, and working with the Spurs Strength coach will do for Splitter's development next season, before I pass judgement on him. But imo, you would have to be a Phillip if you wanted to trade Oden for Splitter, giving Oden's Bynumish knee problems.
i never said i would do the trade
i havent seen splitter play to see how well his game actually translates to the NBA, how skilled he actually is, etc...
but we know for a fact, that in the small spurs when Oden was healthy, he was a very solid NBA player.
so id say that doing a trade like that is a high-risk, high-reward trade, while keeping splitter is low-risk, unknown-reward. just depends on the mentality of the person who would consider such a trade. personally, if splitter hasnt been able to get any minutes over freaking Bonner and McDyess, then he obviously isn't all that great. Pop doesnt strike me as a guy who despises playing rookies just for the sake of it, like Larry Brown, Avery Johnson, and Rick Carlisle. I think if he truly was a good player, he would be getting more minutes with the Spurs. But we dont know for sure.
