Splitter Traded to Hawks

[Mayhem321]

I wonder if this picture was taken before the trade or if he simply didn't have Hawks gear yet.
I'm guessing it was before the trade.
(In case anyone is wondering the other guy in the picture is the best brazilian tennis player ever... and his father and Tiago's father used to play basketball together)

I remember that photo, was posted literally the day before the trade. At least he could say that's the team he won the chip with.

Tiago was/is a great team player and excellent defender. He will be missed.

Will be following Spurs East again for sure.

Here's some new footage of Tiago Splitter after a recent National team practice:

Getting rid of Splitter: Spurs FO's biggest mistake since letting Enrique remain on the team.

[DPG21920]

It's only a mistake in context of they gave up a really good player who would be perfect for the new roster. But you don't get things for free & it's really whiny to say they should have moved Boris. In a perfect world? Sure. But when you take a gamble on a player like LMA you have to give up something.

Unless people are saying they would rather have no LMA & keep Tiago - which is a reasonable stance. We will see if LMA was worth the risk soon but I don't fault the Spurs for swinging for the fences in a controlled manner at all. Regardless of result.

Thompson is still having trouble getting a deal done with the Cavs.

[wildbill2u]

Hated to lose Splitter's defense, offense not so much. But we had to give up something to get ALL-Star LMA. I don't see why there is all this sturm und drang. It'll end up a good deal unless LMA breaks a leg or something.

Probably Kuerten brought the Jersey and Splitter just signed it.

Looked pretty ty in his Hawks debut..former Spurs system player struggling per par.

BIG ING MISTAKE. I GUARANTEE IT.

golden god getting outplayed by aron baynes

[SpurPadre]

He only played 16 minutes due to foul trouble most likely. He'll have better days for them.

[HarlemHeat37]

Watched most of the game, Splitter looked fine, Hawks played with very questionable effort/energy..

They really struggled to get clean looks, though, it looked like the playoffs all over again..it'll be interesting to see if that continues..

[apalisoc_9]

I didn't watch the game, but the hawks does have a tendency to ignore their shooters...and rely on their trio teague, Horford and millsap for offense...their offense stagnate when that happens.

Bud sitting Tavares and Hardaway Jr. like a true Pop protege, with the same results.

silver lining for Bud is somewhere deep down in his brown nosed nostrils... he knows better.

[gambit1990]

if bud wasn't in atl i wonder how different the offseason/roster would have been.
