Spurs Shopping Splitter

[spurspokesman]

Helps that bonner isn't the starter either.

This.

[Capt Bringdown]

A healthy and effective Tiago in the post-season is a fluke. It's wonderful when it happens, but you sure can't count on him.

[gambit1990]

can't seem to stay healthy. not a fan of his awkward, soft, hook-like shot attempts.

[r0drig0lac]

Prok have it

[TheGoldStandard]

Prok have it

Yup, he already has men waiting at Sasha's parents house if he says no

[buttsR4rebounding]

The best possible scenario for the Spurs is to do a sign-and-trade with Portland for Aldridge. They are said to be looking for an established big. Portland was interested in Splitter 2 years ago. Unless Portland has soured on him since this is the only way to keep get Aldridge, keep Green and not pay Tim and Manu some ridiculous salaries.

If Blazers are tanking, doubt they want Splitter. He's the best fit for a franchise that is contending.

[james evans]

if ter leaves the spurs, we won't hear from him again

But he's an elite defender

But he's an elite defender

He'll battle calf injuries and foot injuries pretty soon.

[kobyz]

Spurs will need to include at least their 26 pick to unload splitter...

[TD 21]

I'm not concerned with the supposed "tepid" interest. There's a lot of quality centers available in free agency (Gasol, Jordan, Chandler, the Lopez', Asik, Koufos) and the teams interested in them will obviously exhaust those options first. Whoever misses will then inevitably pivot to Splitter, at which point I'd expect a solid return.

But SA has to deal him before they sign Aldridge, no?

So a trade has to be either tonight or the day Aldridge is sign and traded to SA.

This hypothetical is if Aldridge comes to SA, which isn't likely because Murphys Law always prevails with SA and Free Agency.

How close is pretty soon, like in a week?

[noles1983]

nobody wants this pos. Vasquez and hardaway can be traded but not this dip .

They probably asked the first 5 in the draft and that's all

[Mr. Body]

I'm calling they have to use a pick to get rid of Splitter for the of it.

Well, no trade so far and the we're halfway through the draft. What does this mean?

Denizens thinking Splitter was worth a draft pick were wrong.

[cd98]

Yikes, I guess we'll be giving him away for nothing. Sad. Salary dump. That's like when he got blocked by LeBron in 2013 NBA Finals.

[loveforthegame]

Like they ever shopped him.

[NASpurs]

Spurs must had been shopping Splitter at the flea market

If the Spurs can't trade Tiago -injury prone, age, whatever- they should let Danny walk to sign a big name FA?.

I really love Patty and Boris, but I'd rather trade them to clear cap space, than lose Danny.
