This. Splitter could never be relied upon to stay healthy. In fact, you could just count on him being hurt, and just be happily surprised if he wasn't. A healthy Splitter would be a top 5 center in the league by today's standards, but sadly we'll never see that.
Anthony Bennett was waived
I miss healthy Splitter guys
We all should. It's a damned shame how people are retroactively downgrading him nowadays.I miss healthy Splitter guys
Sadly,even in his prime, he was greatly underappreciated by the media (Stephen A Smith, anyone) and ST as well. Some of that was the frequent injuries of course. But he was the second best center (behind D-Rob) Timmy ever played with. (Of course, Timmy was the center with LMA)
Hawks are wanting to trade Tim Hardaway Jr for 2nd Rd picks
Wtf? Hardaway has been balling for them and they only want a second rounder?
The bigger thing is that they traded the 15th-overall pick for him and a couple of seconds. Bud's drafting is ... interesting to say the least.

David Pick @IAmDPick 7m7 minutes ago Former No. 1 draft pick Anthony Bennett has signed with Euroleague power-club Fenerbahce, according to source.
David Pick @IAmDPick 4m4 minutes ago Fenerbahce is set to announce scoring deal with Anthony Bennett as soon as tomorrow, source said.
I'm bracing for David Pick's eventual text in the next few months that Fenerbahce is waiving Anthony Bennett.
It's the only thing they can fetch because of market dynamics.
He's due for a raise between 8-12 million per season, considering the contracts Tyler Johnson and Crabbe received. Only dumb teams, or maybe none, would trade a 1st round pick for a 2 month rental and potentially lose him ( or be forced to pay him 8-12 million per).
Why would a team trade a 1st and give up that much value in a roster spot ( prospect + cheap/valuable 4-5 yr contract) for 2 months of Tim Hardaway?
If Hardaway had another year on his current deal, or even two more years after this year for 3-4 million per, he'd fetch a 1st because of market dynamics.
Market dynamics and market value have a lot to do with trades -- its not just talent teams trade for in a vacuum. The talent has to match the market dynamics. IE: If market dynamics surrounding a player is a terrible proposition, then value goes down and vice versa.

Too bad they didn't do that two weeks ago.
Spurs family tree

ESPN sources say the Hawks worked out Gary Neal this week and are strongly leaning toward signing the veteran shooter to a 10-day contract.
Suns want a first round pick for TuckerThe Clippers have offered a future second-round pick for Suns forward P.J. Tucker -- who is said to have a not-so-secret admirer in Doc Rivers -- but sources say Phoenix is holding out for a first-rounder in exchange for the rugged defensive specialist.
Tucker and out-of-favor guard Brandon Knight are widely regarded as the most "gettable" Suns. Coach Earl Watson announced this week that veteran center Tyson Chandler is "not going anywhere."

Agreed. His offense was fair to malign, but his ability to guard pick and rolls and be the roll man on offense were high level and part of the 2014 success.
Ed Helicopter Jones. There's a name I don't see here often enough anymore. You just lurk these days?
Can't see Evans finishing the season with SAC. I'd put him on the list of buyout guys. Would probably go to Cleveland, but he seems to check most of the boxes people want.
Why do you think he is going to be bought out? I've wanted him with the Spurs for years.
Not sure how I feel about Evans..this isn't similar to Butler/Granger/Martin, where they were clearly washed up, yet half the forum desperately wanted them..Evans isn't at that point, yet, he still has some left in the tank..however, I don't see how he fits with the Spurs, considering he's extremely ball-dominant and can't shoot..
Would be clear waiver though? Wouldn't the Spurs need that to happen?
He might not clear waivers. But if he doesn't it'll only be so a team under the floor can get some free money. They'd waive him again almost immediately.
