So how many "bigs" can inhabit an NBA starting lineup at once? Two? Three?
Like I said, just start a discussion with some NBA expert by saying "I think LaMarcus Aldridge is the best big man in the league" and see how far you get.
Considering Kevin Garnett not a big is laughable.

So he's gone from underperforming sack of to overpayed underperforming sack ofgreat job spurs.
Uhhhhhhh. No.
PS
back away from the crack pipe
you guys are all insane ripping on Splitter like this. First off, welcome to the NBA, where decent big men are a rare commodity and will get paid no matter what. Let alone this is a big thats a good 1 on 1 defender and plays pick and roll well with our guys/knows how to work with this team. We' d been developing this guy and he's gotten better every single year. I agree that there is a lot to be desired on offense, don't get me started on the flame outs in the west finals against OKC and the finals against the Heat. At the same time you have to realize we probably don't get there without him. He was a candidate for MVP in the WCF this year. His defense on the low block was incredible and was extremely instrumental on why we won that series.
He isn't that old, this contract isn't that big or bad, and last of hall this isn't even close to RASHO 2.0 or whatever all you s are saying. It can't be Rasho 2.0 for one MAIN reason....RAHO WAS NEVER GOOD. Tiago is actually productive and useful and a of a defender when its a clicking. Rasho was a ing joke. Swallow your ing words, get over the fact that we aren't getting a flashy big or whatever you want. This is the Spurs, its what they do and its been working. None of us are pissed at Tiago if Manu hit some ing free throws or Pop decided to not bench a first ballot hall of famer. Don't take your anger out on a good signing. You are making it seem like we are doomed. Shiiiiiiieeeeeeeet(Clay Davis voice).
Tiago is defensively excellent, very quick footed, and challenges shots well near the basket without fouling.
How many in' years did Spurfans about getting a legitimate defensive-minded frontcourt presence to pair with Duncan? Finally one shows up, and when he starts next to Duncan, the Spurs end up in the NBA finals, one rebound away from a championship.
Are ya in' blind?
It just came way too late in Duncan's career. I don't want to be pessimistic but Duncan's decline in inevitable and without a big that can score in the post consistently then we'll be up s creek.
Again...they are a bunch of emotionally compromised females who can't think straight. All they see through their tear blurred eyes is the Finals. They can't think ahead or see anything that led up to it.
With more added muscle Tiago could be that guy, imo.
He needs to learn offense.. seriously like a lot of offense.. even against smaller guys he gives up way too much ground and opts for that sissy hook. He also tries to lay the ball up to much, gets blocked by the rim on occasions.
Just a little something to fire up the natives.
Worst Spur in the Lakers series, missed most of the GS series. Got hacked last year and choked. But him and Bonner are gonna be great in the regular season.
Says the guy who thinks Neal is clutch because he hit a shot in the regular season.
It is his market value but I was really really hoping we signed that soft pussy for less.
I can buy that. But we need another good passer outta the PnR. Team is too thin at ball handler. Either pray to god CoJo takes a big step, or let Neal walk and grab one, IMO.
Centers are over-paid in this league.
So how does this affect our cap space? Splitters cap hold was around $7.5M. I assume this isn't effective until the 10th which helps to maintain our cap space and helps to sign FA until then. Or does this shrink our cap space immediately? The order of the signings are important.
So Evans gets 44 ,spliter 36 h+mmmmmmmmm
Great? Good God. Pull your head out of your ass. I'd settle for adequate from ter. But, great he'll NEVER be. Not even close.
Won't get enough playing time.
I do not think thatīs his market value at all.
I think we are overpaying because we prefer a player that already knows the system over a player a bit better but that should be trained on it.
i would go and offer splitter 30 millions over 4 seasons with a 5th season player option for 6 millions.
Thatīs the same ammount and one more year and really reflects his value.
After he choked on two consecutive closing series his marker value should not be over 7.5 millions.
I expected us tosign and trade him for Gortat. But whatever... they are pretty similar.
If he outplays Splitter next year I will be thrilled! Honestly he is a steal then. Splitters contract though? Damn.With POP you can bet on this here.
