imho the miami's big 3 still has endorsements specially lebron and wade. They can certainly accept pay cuts. Lebron is the highest paid nba player as far as I know but that is his nba salary + many endorsements. It would be Riley's and owner Arison's dream if these 3 guys take significant paycuts.
Knoxxx sums it up perfectly.
we would all like Spitter to ne more than he is- however he uniquely fits the Spurs. He doesn't block shots, but does a good job defensively, switching and guarding mobile bigs. Offensively, moves without the ball sets screens passes well.
Hopefully he gets too close and immolates himself.
Quotes or GTFO.
Hated Tiago in the past, but loved him after this season tbh.
Interesting, so Splitter is getting a little less as the contract goes on. On average, he's getting 8.66M for the next three seasons. That really isn't that bad at all.
Splitter needs do add some midrange jumper and perhaps some threes to his game.

no,
I would have posted the blair video in the DAL/SA series and asked why in the you thought Tiago was 10X more valuable with eerily identical stats. Still, no logical answer. Again, I think Tiago has improved, and is probably better than I give him credit for, I just didnt/dont like the deal, but now that Jodi meeks and others are getting about the same, one must say that it isnt too bad.
If Splitter was paid by the number of screens he sets, he'd be the highest paid player in the league. He earns his keep.
Big men get paid more because decent ones are so hard to find.
His block on Wade was worth at least $4M of his 2014 contract.
Splitter's contract is bad but not horrific. It actually goes down in annual salary each year.
Funny that was the word I was thinking it isn't horrific
Blair was statistically the worst starting center in the NBA when he was paired with Tim and we were ranked 10-15th defensively
Splitter had the highest defensive rating in the entire NBA of players who played 20 or more minutes while making the Spurs a top 3 defensive team once he started
tbh...
typical hyped answer that totally negates splitters offense or a 10 mil contract who is useless in the WCF and Finals. Although, I think this year was his best playoffs, just by my observation and without looking at stats. The impact he made in dallas was huge but he showed 0 sign of being worth 10 times blair, and that's what my argument amounts to. Is his contract worth his production. I dont think so. He didnt outplay blair during the series, their per game stats are almost identical.
Too bad the game was in San Antonio. If it had been a Miami home game I would have guessed it was the one fan that didn't leave early...
Are you still talking?
I'm proud of you. You didn't mention Splitter in that last post. Not even once!
Splitter's contract is decent, tbh. I probably ed about it a little last year but that's just cause I'm greedy and want the Spurs to sign everyone for cheap so we can always try to make a little splash in free agency.
