Don't need all of them, just one.
It's not about contract, the dude goes up weak most of the time that's why they don't call it. He looks like he's flailing his arms around when he gets blocked so its hard to tell if he's being blocked or hacked.

You don't go anywhere being afraid of risks.

29 year old in his 3rd year still has groupies say that he's not soft as a waxed vagina, "it's just playoffs jitters", "gonna get better and develop"
Tiago is good role player, but the Pop and front office are weak minded fools for overpaying that much for him. Should have just let him walk, you don't have a snow ball's chance in of winning another le in the TD era anyway, Pop and Manu already gift wrapped the last opportunity.

Better than 5 years and $45M, but all in all completely fine by me. I like Splitter and feel while he has flaws, so do many players. He has much better fluid motions around the rim and unlike Jefferson does not need a ton of ISO to get points. Welcome back Tiago!
Splitter was a better option than anything else out there at this point.
Aldridge was better.
Well duh, but he's not a realistic option. Unless I'm entirely misunderstood, we'd have to give up a lot to get him.
LeBron is also better. Do you ever have a point?
Well said my friend.
If you're going to use a meme at least use a correct one. How does that correlate with Bad Luck Brian?Well said my friend.
Edit: If anything you should have used the most interesting man in the world and put: "I don't always play poorly in the NBA Finals, but when I do I get a 4 year $36m contract.
And the worst part is that he's now protected, even if Baynes outplays him getting such a ridiculous contracts means that he's guaranteed to start to maintain any potential trade value like we did for RJeff.Well said my friend.
Better player. Not actually an option.
I swear, it's like people assume that big men in the late part of the first round grow on trees. Sure they had a shot at Muscala, but he's not a classic center. Big men don't grow on trees unless you're drafting in the lottery (suck) or trade for a pick it's unlikely you end up with someone there. Secondly Splitter is being paid what the market alots. He's getting the same type of money that Asik is getting etcetera.
Spurs should have gone for Milsap over Tiago
For all of Splitter's faults, he is still a vital part of the Spurs' defense rising back to elite status. In a perfect world, I would've wanted them both. However, that's no longer possible with Ginobili's newly signed contract.
Milsap isn't a big. He's a short PF. I don't know why people keep comparing him to Splitter.
And Splitter's a big that can't rebound worth a damn and finishes like a point guard. For a 7 footer, Tiago doesn't play like one. The only aspect of Tiago that comes close to resembling a big is his defense.
Splitter is an elite pick and roll player that finished almost 68% of his shots around the rim last season. Yes, he could rebound better, but sacrificing his defensive contribution for a player like Milsap would mean Duncan would have to play more minutes...which means Duncan wears out and the Spurs are finished.
Cue the "Baynes could take Splitter's minutes" argument.
Don't mind this deal, seems fair for Splitter, tbh..
Statistically, Splitter was one of the most valuable contributors in the NBA this season, both offensively and defensively..he's one of the top 15 best all-around defensive bigs in the NBA, and the threat of his pick&roll game is an essential part of the offense..
Unfortunately, he's a pussy that doesn't rebound and has an erratic post game, but hopefully the Finals embarrassment will motivate him..
I don't see what the big deal is . . . Splitter's deal seems pretty fair. Lots of good players choke in their first finals ie. Harden. Let's try to remember what a vast improvement Splitter made from '12 to '13. Spurs fans expectaions are really out of wack.
gortot is making what splitter is
Splitter didn't make any improvement. If anything he regressed if you look at the stats. He only got to play more.I don't see what the big deal is . . . Splitter's deal seems pretty fair. Lots of good players choke in their first finals ie. Harden. Let's try to remember what a vast improvement Splitter made from '12 to '13. Spurs fans expectaions are really out of wack.
