That's what I thought. Odd...but I would assume its coming. Unless they've decided they want to go in another direction for sure and want to maximize cap flexibility, it makes too much sense to extend the QO.
Yeah, 30th is the last day to do so.

Spurs don't always report QO. For example, it was never known if in 2007 Spurs made a QO to make Oberto restricted.
^ that make sense, but with Splitter being a bigger name than Oberto it strikes me as odd that we haven't heard anything yet. Same goes for Neal.
Yes, the Spurs have extended the QO to Tiago:

They have also extended a QO to Gary Neal.
Tiago Splitter to receive lucrative offer
San Antonio Spurs restricted free-agent center Tiago Splitter could command an offer sheet that averages $8.5 million to $9 million annually, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to be a suitor for Splitter, league sources said. The Utah Jazz and Atlanta Hawks have salary-cap space, a need for a young center and general managers – Dennis Lindsey and Danny Ferry, respectively – who were Spurs front-office executives when Splitter came into the organization.
The Spurs will be in a strong position to match an offer sheet and keep Splitter, because they'll free of Stephen Jackson's $10 million salary and expect to re-sign Manu Ginobili at a lesser salary than the $14.1 million he made this season.
The baseline for a Splitter offer sheet will likely be the three-year, $25 million deal that Houston awarded center Omer Asik in free agency a year ago, sources told Y! Sports.

Would this "baseline" 3/25 deal like Asik got also have a poison pill? Taking a $15M cap hit in 2015-2016 might make the Spurs balk, right?
I was just discussing this (and stumbling over it) in the main Spurs forum. Looking at it closer, I think poison pill type contracts are only possible if the player is a 2nd round pick, and the team in question only has "Early Bird Rights" (that is, only 2 years with the team). Since Splitter was a first round pick, and has been with the Spurs for 3 years (thus giving them full "Bird Rights"), then the type of raises that Asik and Lin had written into their (original) offer sheets aren't legal.
Can someone else confirm this?

I can't have an insurance to play because of that (contract situation). I will only be cheering this time. I've already told Magnano that (Brazil NT coach) and I hope to be back to the NT soon.
