On topic, Have people forgotten how important Splitter is to the Spurs?
Keep him!
Appreciate everything he has done for SA and he was essential to SAS 2014 le, but he is a system player totally replaceable.
I'm BR and I don't overrate Splitter as much as some other fellows do.
As long as SA does not have to include assets trading him, I am all for it. Hopefully, it's for something bigger in the off-season.

Here was Splitter's reaction when reached for comment:

That was my first thought. The Spurs might know or have an idea that its going to be a chronic issue going forward and are trying to get some value/dump the salary while they can. That being said, its not worth dumping him without getting a decent asset/prospect in return. Any of the FA PFs/Cs (Gasol, Love, LMA) are longshots at best, and losing out puts the Spurs in too vulnerable a position. Even if there was only a 25% chance of Splitter being healthy at the start of next season's POs, those odds are still better than the Spurs opening up capspace and hoping for max FA to come to SA.
We spent a lot of time getting him ready. You think we flippantly just give him away.
Injuries, injuries, injuries.
Where have you been?
The Spurs are coming off b2b embarrassing 1st round exits without Splitter tbh. Even the resident ST dummies can't argue that.
He certainly helped but Leonard had more to do with it tbqh
Bringing up the first one is stupid. Spurs didn't even have Leonard, Green, Diaw etc.totally different team.
in order for green to perform you have to yell at him
pop knows that and people always think he is on a short lease
but that is what green needs and he knows it and said it
He means against Dallas.
Good, I like Tiago but he is totally expendable.
If we somehow get Gasol, Memphis won't be an issue.
But seriously - There is nothing worse than gambling your team's future success on a guy who is constantly hampered with freak injuries. When he's good, he's great. When he's gimpy - he's non-existent. He also has an extremely low pain tolerance - physically and mentally. If he hurts, he checks out upstairs. Its sad but I'm happy the Spurs are shopping him.
I also think Splitters value offensively diminishes if Manu isn't around.
Let's be realistic. The Spurs aren't shopping Splitter...they are shopping the half a season + maybe playoffs that Splitter is usually available.
Still, the only reason I'd be happy to see Tiago leave is if we are able to get LMA in return.
I think it's actually Kawhi.
Kawhi doesn't guard Zbo or Gasol, tbh.
Yep! You are correct there.
Kawhi is the reason the grzz suck vs the spurs. He fills in all the holeS our perimeter defense was before he came.
He is part of it but mostly Spiltter. Against the Grizz anyways..
i don't think any sort of deal gets done in regards to shipping splitter. just a guess.
Well the fact he's available means they're definitely pitching LMA. Maybe LJC can help on PNR defense next year notwithstanding the fact he's giving up size?
I'm not surpirsed Parker fans want splitter gone. They usually have low basketball IQ's
Very true.
