There won't be a fifth year on the Splitter deal. The terms will be four years, $36 million-plus, sources tell Y! Sports.

ok.

[Chinook]

He's soft and won't improve anymore on the offensive end. Pop is not going to just start calling plays for him or having him shoot jumpers or develop one..

And Danny Green can't hit threes in the post-season...

[ElNono]

well, there you go

That is much more acceptable.

[Chinook]

That lack of a fifth year makes this more interesting. Hopefully, his last year is still partially guaranteed.

Woj just tweeted 4yrs/36.

[Spurs9]

Yeah much better!

[benefactor]

Better. Much better.

Betting it's a partially guaranteed final year too. Market value deal tbh.

[manufan10]

I agree:

Splitter is actually a good big man who can defend the pick and roll well when its far from the basket.

His problem is lack of quickness and explosion. Hes like fast dog, but not a quick dog in close confines. This is why the pnr at the elbow with chalmers killed him because hes not fast enough to make quick switches. This is also why he gets blocks because hes not explosive to rise quickly above defenders so its get blocked, or throw up the piece of jump hook.

He's a liability if he doesn't play next to Tim Duncan who was having an amazing season. Alone in the paint he's crap more often than not offensively.

[Mugen]

4yr/36 million is fair market value for Splitter.

I really, really hope that a) the Spurs can re-sign Manu with enough money for an impact player like AK and b) Splitter nuts up in the next postseason run.

[loveforthegame]

4 years - $36 million is so much better.

Now let's move on.

[coyotes_geek]

If it's a flat contract, obviously Splitter's cap figure for next year is $9 mil. If it escalates, he'd be just over $8.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Im not an armchair gm like you s but i'd say this is a good deal, his post defense and pick n roll D earned this. Lets hope he can sack up n grab some rebounds and learn better post moves.

[DesignatedT]

Not as bad.

in b4 "RC was reading this thread and he cut that last year after the meltdown" goods...
