I understand that a 4 big men rotation is scary when a guy gets injured but you are adding probably the most injury prone spur ever as the 5th?
It's a low risk, high reward signing tbh. You're not gonna get anyone better for that spot and if someone else gets bought out the Spurs can always dump Forbes.

If he's healthy he's a huge game changer against the Dubs/Cavs/Clips tbh. It's worth it, especially if there's no one else worth the spot.I understand that a 4 big men rotation is scary when a guy gets injured but you are adding probably the most injury prone spur ever as the 5th?
Splitter would prolly injure himself getting off the plane in SA.
Yea but by that logic you are essentially expecting him to be impactful against the elites and as good as he was in 2014, his health has failed us more often than not.
He'd be the fifth big. If he performs well great, if not they have the same big rotation they have now.
Fair enough but I think a wing is more important
Kawhi lma parker gasol dg mills manu simmons kyle murray lee dedmon
Thats already 12 guys, really depends on one's trust on simmons in the playoffs
Edit 13th is bertans who is playing the 4
If a wing worth a damn is bought out then they drop Forbes. At this point everything is speculation since no one has been bought out obviously, but if Splitter is indeed let go he'd be the most impactful pick up they could get if he's healthy and would be extremely important if Gasol does indeed become a liability in the postseason.
Spurs need a penetrator more than anything, but I don't see any good ones being bought out and I don't think the Spurs have any spare pieces that would be enough to swing a trade for one. The lack of one for when Tony/Manu struggle and the PnR defense will be this team's achilles heel come playoff time.
You are only allowed 13 players in the playoffs
Allowed to dress 13.
Inactivity can change per game now? If it is, I forgot
Please do it..
People are overrating the Korver trade, I think. It's sort of weird that Atlanta had to eat salary for that pick, but they should be fine with Dunlevy staying on.
I think people ed more about it because ATL is helping CLE (who's pretty much owning the East alone). The value itself is not bad for an expiring old Korver.
I will say, Bud's a real dude if he's holding onto Dunlevy just to screw over GS.
Yeah because a washed Dunleavy was moving the needle for GS..I mean if (GM) Lebron discards a shooter, it's pretty much curtains for said player..
Dude is TOSB Shane Battier status.
Never thought I'd say it but I'd rather have a healthy Splitter over Gasol tbqh
Yea, but no matter how close to washed up he is, why give GS another shooter when GS is otherwise handcuffed to D League players bc of the cap?

We would need to find a sweet deal in trade because I don't see one in the buyout market either. Pau could attract some attention, but with the player option on his contract everyone knows he's a rental. I can't think of any driving PG on expiring contracts but I did read somewhere that Rubio might be on the market. T wolves could use a veteran presence and Rubio could keep defenders honest with that second unit. It would also let us start Dedmon but we'd need to pick up a serviceable big in the buyout market...
I'd take a healthy Splitter 100/100 times on the defensive end, but on offence, Gasol is much better than Splitter. Gasol can space the floor. Splitter can't.
Anyway, I'll never trust Splitter after he was injured yet again during 2015 and left Tim all alone to go against the Clippers' bigs in the playoffs. Spurs could have won the Championship that year if he, and to a lesser extent TP were healthy.

Gasol can hit 3's and make Jumpers.....Splitter can't.....No doubt Splitter is a better defender.....
Splitter was like Lee and Dedmon combined. I'd definitely take Prime Tiago over Gasol. It would lower the Spurs' ceiling, but it would raise their floor to where teams like LAC and HOU wouldn't have a realistic shot at knocking them out of the playoffs.
