welp lol

Well I hope Splitter puts up 15/8 next year and keeps up the solid defense.

[TheGoldStandard]

I can see it now.. Pop is going to start including him in more Pick N Roll plays, his averages will go up 12/7 for his efforts and playoffs 7/5

[Chinook]

The starting salary is just $7.8 Million. That's not much more than his cap hold, anyway.

Lebron says sup tiago

[benefactor]

why not the mle

[SpursRock20]

B-b-b-but he's a big! He deserves this kind of money!

[Bruno]

Bigmen are expensive. $9M is a little higher than what I was expecting.hoping but it's not a shocker.

[DesignatedT]

It's a new contract with Bird Rights. It's not an extension, for which Splitter didn't even qualify anyway. That tweet is misguided.

Thanks. Knew something was funny there.

Hahahahahaha.... he'll average 25 minutes, 10/6 maybe, that's if Duncan doesn't drop off. And at the first sight of small ball he'll be on the bench. No surprise.. THe Spurs are paying Matt Bonner 4M this season.

Glad to have Tiago back. Especially since 5 years, $45 million means his salary for next year is likely $7.5 million. That will leave a little over $11 million to resign Manu and get Kirilenko or a backup point. That could expand to over $15 million if they amnesty Bonner and Neal signs elsewhere.

He plays like he's 6'2

[Spurs9]

The f*** is wrong with the spurs

[slick'81]

Wonder if the spurs were fearing an offer sheet of 10+

[Joyrider]

I was gonna make a thread about this but does Kawhi deserve max money now with this deal?

Think this means they give Manu 6 or 7M for 2 years.. 14M/2Years and they offer someone a MLE

Is there enough money to offer a good deal for AK47?

yeap
also I think it would have went higher once dw turns down a few teams

[monkeypunk]

How does this affect how much we have to throw at a FA?

I didn't think of that, I forgot about how contracts get bigger as the years go on. If the Spurs land a good free agent + Gino, I'd be very pleased with this.

he wants years and a contender

Yes.. and they better pay him.. Someone is going to throw ridiculous money at him.
