Yup, without his 6 points a game and 3 rebounds we'd have been swept by LA or Memphis.
I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but it is common knowledge that NBA players (and NFL players) lie about this kind of thing all the time. Kevin Love is listed at 6'10" when he's not even 6'8". Shaq was listed at 325 lbs for the longest time when it came out that he was actually closer to 375.

Do you remember what happened the last time the Spurs faced Memphis in the playoffs with Splitter playing spot minutes and scrubs starting at center?
There's a reason that didn't happen in 2013.
A lot of crap also occurred in the Memphis series in 2011..
Hoping one of the other teams throw a bull contract and Spurs let him walk. I think the Spurs can put together a team with players who can play in the playoffs with this money.
Splitter may very well never be useful against a team like Miami, but like Juggity referenced, he's proven to be immensely valuable against other elite teams in the league.
Stop trying to be funny you immature piece of . Posters like you are ruining this damn forum.
If Millsap says that, I will sign him and Splitter at 3/25 and convince Manu to take a severe paycut. As mentioned by others, Millisap is a 4. If we have a big man rotation of Duncan, Splitter, Diaw, Millsap, it will be pretty awesome.
Realistically, Millsap earns 8.6 million in 2013. It is highly unlikely that he will take a similar pay as he will command a higher amount in the market.
He was also the worst player against the Lakers as well despite them playing big.
Sounds like a fair market value to me.
Have no choice, unless you are going to be able to find someone that fits in better with the system, and I'm not sure that exists, unless you use Tiago as a sign and trade with someone I guess.
So calling someone a piece of is real mature? LOL
Seems like you just looked at stats and not watch the game itself.
Sad world we live in when a piece of like Tiago gets 25 million over 3 years for sucking at basketball and scrubs like me live on 50k a year.

It's more that teams round up height and are slow to change weight-listings if the player gains fat. As far as what tesseractive is saying, he's right. Combine numbers are pretty accurate, but the NBA lists heights with shoes, and that adds an inch or two. So if Millsap were 6-6 at the combine without shoes, it's very possible that he'd be conventionally listed as 6-8 in the pros. In Europe he'd be listed at about two meters (his without-shoe height). Cultural difference.
Little options outside of him?
No, I watched.. I saw Parker, Duncan and Kawhi carry this team for the most part and Danny Green show up and Neal in spots.. The Memphis series was his best series but he wasn't a game changer
I'll grant you that but as others have mentioned - what's the alternative? What are we forsaking by paying Splitter $8M/year? It's not like San Antonio's been a hip hotspot for high caliber free agents in the past.
Dude honestly, I hate coming on this forum willing to gain informative insight on my favorite team as well as sharing insight that I believe should be discussed. Every time their is a disagreement on this forum, many posters result in tactics that doesn't even pertain to the topic at hand, and it's annoying to the point that it's almost unbearable.
Hot damn do you really have > 1 million posts? Impressive!
Oh I agree, and the fact that it's 3 years makes it kind of ok but I can't get excited for it is all.
For the record, Millsap turned down an extension from Utah that would have paid him 25m for the next 3 years. So, I think he might want more than that in the FA.
Or to win
Churchill'd.
We've got Diaw, so if we can add a perimeter player who can backup TP and create his own shot (Jarrett Jack) isn't it worth downgrading from Splitter to a scrub (Blatche, Birdman, KMart) or making a run at a slight downgrade in JJ Hickson? Just because we don't pay Splitter $8-9m a year doesn't mean we have to find another big at that number. There are plenty of alternatives. We need another trusted ball handler and guy who can create. Manu's not up for the job anymore.
