There's a reason why Portland wanted him a few seasons ago.
Unfortunately, he is probaly finished as player and done as whole in this league..definitely in Top 10 of most fragile players to ever play in the NBA..
let me see him first back on court because I don't want him to just take a spot.......in our infirmary.
There's a reason why Portland wanted him a few seasons ago.
He's played in about 73% of the games since joining the NBA and not all of the missed ones were because of an injury. He's injury prone and he takes a bit to heal and a bit more to get going, but that statement is definitely not true.
( For reference, Kawhi's at ~82%. )
As the 5th big for the minimum why not.
The Golden God will always be San Antonio bound.
I like Tiago, but he's played just 60 games or less in 5 of his 6 seasons in the NBA. He missed most of training camp his first year and, I believe, at least one other year. And he's never put in heavy minutes. Almost 25 minutes per game, one season, and a lot less most seasons.
Tony only played in just 60 games or less three times in 15 years. Manu, 4 times in 14 years. (And those two guys have both taken a lot of punishment in summer ball all that time.) Duncan played 60 games or less only twice in 18 years.
I'm not buying the bit about him being one of the most fragile players in history. But for a young guy in his prime, he's missed a bunch of games. You're right, though, Kawhi has missed a bunch, too, for such a young guy. (I wonder how many of his disciples here even realize that Kawhi has AVERAGED just 60 games per season?) But at least Kawhi has put in 30 minutes per game on average.
Please tell me you weren't one of the guys saying it was a good idea to get rid of Boban to make room for manu's contract. Because if that's the case, how on earth can you fix your fingers to type that you just typed?
I really believe that the GSW will have extreme growing pains, and already have fragile emotional/mental players as their core unit... add to that mix Kevin Durant and his loser intangibles and questionable fire.
(his recent talk about "I'm kinda glad they lost, it made it easier to decide" in referencing his previous team... for real Westbrook finna dunk it every time he sees Durant, nuts in his mouf type ish)
He needs to just be quiet, he can't help showing his ass.
Anyway... seems like things are lining up for the scenario OP suggested. Of course it's a daydream but, dreams do come true =).
And let's be real we'd all take Splitter in a heartbeat, as long as he is ready for the postseason. I'd sit him the first 4 months and just let the trainers go to work and rebuild his 'kinetic chain'. I never heard that phrase before but I already plan to use it a dozen times today.
I have been working on theory of movement techniques and that is a piece to the puzzle.
Back to Splitter though (wordplay)... He'll be a low maintenance dude so the other new players will still get PT and burn.
He won't need time to learn the system, he has already been part of a championship team. He solidifies our Bigs unit, with his skill set and defense. Also he'd mentor Dedmon full time while he gets his body right.
Also it seems like Tiago and David Lee are like Yin and Yang. They could be called the Roll Bros lol.
Just feels like despite the new players and loss of TD, the Spurs have the strongest continuity of core players, without having to integrate an All-Star player.
And our best player KL is about to take another step forward. I mean... what top player out there is, about to get another level better??
Nobody wants ter...
Um, no. The guy doesn't play. He's finished.
Kevin Durant is a child in a boy's body - > and NO, not everybody wants ter. He can't play anymore. Either his body has broken down or he's lost whatever desire he had to play. The list of injuries he has wracked up during his career are either vaginal at best or suspect at worst.
Another grey man who doesn't understand how Manu had nothing to do with Boban.
Manu was the last Spur to sign with bird rights. Meaning, whether they paid him 4 million or 40 million, it wasn't going to make a difference on the cap space remaining after he signed.
Gasol was the guy who ate up most of the cap room, not Manu.
It's a tough question bc it doesn't seem like he will be healthy again for any stretch of games that allows him to make a difference. I suppose he's worth the risk at the minimum, but it may end up resulting at the end that picking him up would be like picking nobody up.
I wouldn't mind for 15th guy. If he gets bought out.
Risk reward is there. He stays injured. We don't lose . But if he can play 10 minutes in the playoffs. Watch out.
golden god pls
Delaney isn't necessarily a "surprise", they signed him from Europe b/c he was playing well. Bynum is a vet who has looked ordinary in pre-season, nothing special about him. They might just buyout Tiago if they find him to be expandable like the Blazers/Sideshow Bob so they could save some money.
I would cry tears of joy if this happened
Tiago is 31, and has been injured, in his prime years, nearly every year, for weeks, if not months. His age indicates he will probably more injury prone from now on.
I was surprised that Leonard missed so many games every season. Tiago is a skillful player at the 5 and knows the system and our rotation players which is where he would fit in. If we could get him for little or nothing as a 5th big, it could be a smart insurance move since LJC and Dedmon don't look like instant offense/or defense off the bench..
Price depending, yes please
I would kill to have Splitter off the bench at a reasonable price. He is a great passer, a reasonable post option, and when healthy he's elite guarding the pick and roll. He's a china doll, but I'm not saying I'd want him at $10 million a year or to start or even play 25 minutes a night. But for the minimum if he gets bought out? That's an obvious yes.
Healthy Splitter, si.
Normally injured Splitter, no.
I always thought Splitter would end up a Spur again. Even though he's probably not the same player, as long as he can still physically play, for 1 year and the veteran's minimum, I'd sign him.
Delaney is guaranteed, Bynum will be waived and the last spot will be between Splitter, Muscala and Tavares.
Their depth chart is more like this . . .
Millsap/Scott/Humphries
Korver/Sefolosha/Prince
Howard/Splitter/Muscala/Tavares
Bazemore/Hardaway/Bembry
Schroeder/Jack/Delaney
If Splitter gets bought out, Humphries and Muscala will compete for primary backup center.
Come home ter
They would nt be able to offer him anything but the vet minimum. Surely someone else could offer him more. Perhaps he'd take it to come back though?
