It depends. Are talking about Pop in few years time? I don't think so then unless Pop retires too.
should just trade him
pop wont use him and we could get good value for a top 5 center
maybe a few lotto picks for the future

Mid, results are the bottom line. Most of us know Bonner chokes in the playoffs, but when hes on, you gotta ride em. The real reality is when the Spurs have to matchup with Memphis and the Lakers, as to what will Pop do to counter their size.
I see what did you there, D. And I like it.
I was hoping LA's game would be the key.
But now I'm sure Splitter has no future here while Pop is the coach. I don't know why but Pop don't trust on him.
Dude should demand a trade.He's too good to play only 15 minutes against Lakers or to play off the bench when TD is out.
It's pretty amazing how this guy can't get more than 11 minutes.

Just to name a few he's ranked higher than: Marc Gasol, Nene, McGee, Noah, Hibbert, Chandler, Kaman, Okafor, Bogut.
I'll be disappointed but forgiving if he asks for a trade this summer. Splitter didn't come over for the money; he came to play in the NBA. Against an elite frontcourt tonight he only logs 13 productive minutes.
I like Splitter. And I like the Spurs (duh).
Having said that, I wouldn't blame Splitter if he wanted out.
Today 13 min and 15 min yesterday.....
Everybody want more minutes for Splitter and Pop plays him less minutes than ever.....
At least we won the game
If he's a restricted free agent though, does that mean he has to stay with the Spurs should they offer to match?
We've won the game but we're throwing away one of our last chances at a championship.
He should seek greener pastures when his contract is up
I find it funny how everyone (fans, management, ect.) have been dying for a legit big to pair next to Duncan ever since Nazr left. Now when they get him, Pop doesn't play him.
He has a 20 PER. 8th highest among centers-- ahead of Noah, Hibbert, McGee, M. Gasol, Nene, Bogut, DeAndre Jordan to name a few. It's a joke really.
That's the problem! We should either get rid of Pop or trade Splitter before he wants out.
Since we aren't getting rid of Pop, best scenario IMO is trading him in the offseason. We may get someone in which Pop trusts.
Tonight was awful. There's no one taller than him, not named Duncan, and he played a bit less than 13 minutes. Diaw hasn't been with us for long a played more minutes. Pop's lover, Bonner with his terrible D, 3-8 got 22+ minutes.
Even if Tiago is an innocent and loyal fool, his agent will broach the subject of requesting a trade.
Mind boggling indeed. In my mind, there is no justifying this dumbass decision from Pop.I find it funny how everyone (fans, management, ect.) have been dying for a legit big to pair next to Duncan ever since Nazr left. Now when they get him, Pop doesn't play him.
He has a 21 PER. 8th highest among centers-- ahead of Noah, Hibbert, McGee, M. Gasol, Nene, Bogut to name a few. It's a joke really.
We might as well just call Houston and ask them when they want to pick him up.
I just don't get it. Surely Tim and Manu can both see where this is headed. Do they have no clout with this coach?
Tiago is on a cheap, cheap contract. $3m/season IIRC. He won't bring anything of much value. At least nothing with as much value as him.
Agreed. Don't wanna get rid of him. I'd rather trade Bonner and Blair but as angelbelow pointed out his agent may request a trade in the end of the season. If a player wants out our trading options will be even worse, don't you think?
I don't think his agent will ask for anything, tbh... his agent wants this deal to end so he can negotiate a bigger deal
There's only 1 year left on his contract with the Spurs after this though right? If he thought he could get more minutes next year he could stay the rest of the season, tell the Spurs not to match, and then walk as a free agent too.
That's after Tiago makes the request because there is no downside to doing so.
Worse case, Splitter plays the same erratic minutes because the Spurs have no one else.
No doubt he gets a bigger deal when his contract is up, whether that means he remains in the NBA or not.
I respect your opinion but IMO an agent is after money. Nothing else. And the best way for him to score a future bigger deal atm is playing minutes, being a starter, showing his skills. There aren't many franchises I can think of right now where Splitter wouldn't be a starter.
Maybe. When is his contract ending? This summer?
If not then it would be better for him to play more minutes elsewhere so he could get more money.It would be the reason to demand a trade.
Anyway I can't think on Splitter asking for a trade...He's so quiet...
Of course if Duncan retires it could change all.... Pop could have to play him
Europe won't be able to offer a contract as good as the next one he'll be eligible.
He's got one more year then 13/14 there's a qualifying offer.

He may not ask for a trade, but his agent...
Pop? I don't think so.
